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

· Leave a comment ·

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)

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.
