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)

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.

Deluge

Sacred dreams
Lost ruins and mysterious paths
The woman in veil
Walks graciously…
Tumbling down the green valley
I fall to her feet
And meet the eyes
I see everyday…
Scare shreds confidence etching
Scars in the subconscious;
Unknown scares
A deluge of thoughts I face…
