Hope
I painted a house in red
On my yellow feature wall.
“No, I am safe,”
I call out to my family.
“Worry not, I am fine,”
I speak again to the concerned voices.
“Red, is unconditional love
Symbolic of a binding Christmas;”
I look for togetherness
In a warm or cold home;
“Wish every day of love
In every life filled in happiness.”
The fairly lights in the neighbourhood bright,
I see angels everywhere.
I look again
Where the chorus echoed.
Into the darkness at midnight
Wishing New Year of hope.

Devotion
I sing to you
The song I have learned
The mantra that saw many generations
Words in Your praise
I sing in devotion.
I sing to you
Today the song that I feel deep within
Never heard before phrases but a mantra,
Words thanking you and meant only for You
I sing in devotion.
I sing to the Goddess of knowledge.
*On the occasion of Vijaydashmi festival. In the Southern state of India, Kerala, Vijaydasmi is considered an auspicious day for initiation of learning.

April – A Poetry, A Day
April has been considered as the National Poetry Writing Month in the United States of America and Canada.
I came across the NaPoWriMo 2014 news (Thanks to WordPress) recently, and decided to stimulate my creative writing skills.
Since I began my NaPoWriMo 2014 experiment on the wordpress Page, I continue to edit and add a poem to the Page daily.
