I follow
My dream
I lead
who believe
I have
A destination
I dream
I perceive
I share
the vision
to those
who believe
they walk
with me
they don’t follow
they believe
Fruit hides the seed

I guess the fruits
are just two
bitter
or
sweet
which one we get
is through
our intent
and
deed
the taste and texture
bitter or sweet
it springs
from the
seed
the pulp and the colour
taste and smell
is what makes the fruit
and the fruit
hides
the seed
Amma

Emerged into the world
A life
Delivered through pain
Suffering the excruciating
Screaming
To offset the pain
Months of rearing
Feeding off herself
Her every bit of grain
Fretting and worrying
Unnoticed at time
Many times, in vain
Letting go her needs
For everyone else
Without a strain
Ever willing to give
To sacrifice
She has nothing to gain
Every wish she fulfils
Irrespective
Justified or mundane
She waits patiently
For them to walk back
Through the forlorn lane
She spent her life
To nurture this life
She delivered through pain

There lies the moment
In the rush
of things
The moment stops
Somewhere between
Earlier and later
And that’s where
There is no speed
No expectations
No comparison
Nothing lesser or greater
But there lies still
the intent of motion
And the sense of purpose
The seed of every future
a pure slice of the creator
There lies the beauty of stillness
The symphony of motion
Existent, but yet lost
Somewhere between
Earlier and later
A live performance

She swooped
With practiced ease
perfect balance
perfect poise
millions of eyes
focussed on one
with precision
and least noise
Wings invisible
too quick for the eyes
keeping it static
before the final dive
Dipped in nectar
nearest to bliss
yet sure of her purpose
to fill up the hive
A work of art
done as a routine
and a performance
I saw it live
A reason to Smile

It has no reason to smile
Yet it smiles for no reason
They can only be Purple

Some orange, some green
The buds are yet to open
They flower purple
The feline bench #haiku

Long drives are not long enough
The day is about to start

It’s the silhouette
Across the sky
That stays rooted
In the happy earth
Table and the chairs
Make a happy mix
They wait for the morning tea
And moments that make it worth
The setting is divine
The heavens have descended
And in midst of it all
Love fills the happy heart
Shadows accentuate the light
Colouring the lawn green
Morning sun is waking up
The day is about to start
