Salt etc

Salt

Sometimes it is arid and sometimes it is full

The hard blazing sun and at times winds that are cool

This interplay is always on

Never comes to a halt

Leads to the formation of the essence , the salt

That’s the daily scene at the salt pan for you

And in our life too

Birth and Death of Poetry ...

An artist is both –the most honest and dishonest person at the same tim.Honest as the emotions, feelings , thoughts have to be depicted as they are and while depicting it the artist adds his/ her own touch and interpretations of reality .

How many poem were born

And so many died

Even before taking birth

The emotions, thoughts and incidents

All stirred the heart

Shook the mind

At that time

Many poems were born in the mind

Many saw the light of the day

And many were lost in the dark recesses of mind and time

University

The learnings of life

The jolts  offered by experiences

The insights that come out of these shocks

All come together

To create the curriculum for the University  of life

It is an ongoing learning

Many surprise tests

Mid term exams and viva voce

And what have you!

Whether it is Ivy League or not

Is up to you

You could make it any tier university or college

But the experiences  and curriculum get created daily

Chance

Chance

The chance that is life

Almost once in a lifetime

The hope that is life

The careless mystery

That unfolds with each passing day

The life of passion and zeal

That builds like a crescendo

Built on the foundation

Of toil and faith

Of a certain care and aim

Crystal Clear
Mystery unfolds

In mysterious ways

The vague stories

That make a crystal clear life

Emergency Ward

Emergency Ward

Is there an emergency  ward for the soul

When it is in tatters with  a big hole

Or for the heart and mind

When it ceases to be kind

All for their recovery under distress

For the body they are aplenty to recover from the mess

In all our grand creations such wards and units were overlooked

If they existed they would indeed be always booked !!

Let Go series

Let go

Let go

The past

And all burdens

The thoughts and actions

That created the weight

To drop off the load

And move on

Lighter and brighter

Heavy

The heavy thoughts

Weigh on you

Take a toll

To lighten them

To remove the unwanted baggage

As you ring in the new

Remove the old

Fitness regime

A fitness regime

For the thoughts and mind

To tone and exercise

To remove the flab

And move on

With less weight and more sprightly walk

SUN

Sun

The red and orange dot that is Sun .

 Diminishes with the advent of dusk .

That’s what the Earth thinks .

But the red orange dot thought of the Earth

 As just one of the many minute dark specs strewn in the universe :)
