I walked the path,
Believing.
Even the muck carried me safe from fall,
Caring.
I washed the feet clean when home,
Thanking.
And the soul answered life,
“I trust you and our journey, together.”

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.

Bonding
Stood below a banyan tree in the vicinity
On a cloudy night where lightning flickered
I envisaged the lighting across the street
Adorned to welcome the festival of light
And the wail of the newborn shrilled the air.
The roots set to bond deep
Through tap roots and prop roots
Offering to nourish and nurture
Nature leads and instincts act
And a mother is born.

So…
Petals shed from the vase
Layer of bright and grey.
Fresh jasmine garlands on the deity
Perfumed the pale and stale.
A whiff of hot coffee lingered in the air.
“So what?”
Said the bored youngster.
But,
Fragrance or aroma?
Stagnancy or permanency?
The wind changed direction.
