Whose was it…

Travelling with a pair of shoes –

A pristine white canvas;

Relentless climbs

And lone journey on rugged path.

Just when someone mentioned her –

‘A fragile being for delicate life,’

She kept me gripped to adventure

And led me home clean feet;

Not one but many

Imprints on her surface

Etched memories

Of the victorious…

A stubborn self?

Unsuspecting shoes?

Susceptible minds?

Or our complete trust?

Whose was it anyway,

When a pristine white canvas

Enamoured me to consider

Travelling with a pair of shoes?

For Them

Incessant rains.
Inundated…
Marooned in places,
Safe and secure that appeared,
Till a few days ago –
Still holding their smile intact,
Thinking only for the moment…
Feeling the human emotions,
Hearts bleed with the many
Known and unknown people,
Offering healing and blessing…
Life opened a new perspective.

(Pray for Chennai)
