Here and Now

image

The dandelion survived wind
While the surfer maneuvered,
Riding the waves fearlessly
Overcoming space and time
In here and now.

As I sat watching the conqueror on surfboard,
Counting the rise and fall
And the policing seagulls,
My mind invited Jonathan, Bach’s Seagull
‘There is no other.’

Unfolds

image

Unfolds the rose bud
Each layer double coloured;
The next day fades
Petals pale and fragrance bailed.
The pollen a bright yellow
Tender to touch
Puzzles life to life.
“Pluck me not for I live
Another day
As the sun carasses me
And the wind kisses me.”
The older rose in reflection,
“I am beautiful
And an enduring beauty for days
I am love.”
Amazed at the passing thoughts,
I feel the flowers and reflect
In depth on the essentials
Live beautifully to love unconditionally.

Circles

Circles interlinked,

Layers many.

She went round and round,

Circling and moving inside.

Unaware, how long but,

To her heart’s content,

Till she became the centre.

Unable to set step any further

The unknown child sat down, disoriented

Yet, Laughing…

Pleasantly happy,

Named the lines in alphabets

And she set on her new task.

My mind wandered

Counting the circles

In this cycle of life –

Followed, planned and unplanned.

Unaware, how long for,

Layers were many and

Circles interlinked, still.

I set on an unknown path

Surprisingly happy.
