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.

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.
