NaPoWriMo 2024 – Day 18 – Short Poem – Crow
Growing up, I watched my grandfather nurture a unique bond with the crows he fed daily. While their presence initially filled me with apprehension, I soon came to appreciate their elegance and confidence, influenced by my grandfather´s reverence for them as a symbol of ancestral spirits in the culture of India.
In a world through the eyes of a crow, I invite you to explore the complexities of existence, societal judgment, and the search for self-discovery and acceptance. Through the lens of these intelligent and enigmatic birds, I see our journey is intricately intertwined with theirs. We are no different!

Scripted
On a trek, toward a hill top
The rolling stones, haphazard ways and cactus plants
Crossed the path, again and again.
A bald patch of land stood alone
Senses turned triumphant, though;
A vision arrested
From the path that divided, where
The azure sky glittered golden
And the geometrical land patterns held out puzzles below;
The sun rays reached out to both
Play of light and dark, illusion and shadow.
Distant from noise, pollution and people
Distant from relationships and commitments;
A few hours of solitude;
An unexplained long pause
On conversation, thoughts and subconscious;
But once the mind reeled on
Love draped to the roles of
Relationships designed, denied and defined.
Presumptuous to existence comes alive
And the descend to the start turned casual;
Nature spreads the balm yet the mind scripted.
Variety is the Spice of Life
