Saluting the flag
Head held high
Pride surging through the veins
Expressing through moist eyes
Sun shining on Upturned faces beaming faces adding brilliance
Hearts beat in rhythm
Resonating with the millions
Band plays the anthem
Wind flutters through the fabric
For ‘we the people’
Are celebrating the republic
She is bound and safe
Warm cloak of expectation
She is a bit cold

There
I reach
At the last few pages
Close to where
The book would end
Where it no longer
will hold in its cover
A story unread
For me
Forever
There
in those last few pages
I stop
There I close the book
Dog eared
at the last unread page
To be read later
But never to be ended
Just to linger at the end
Forever
#haiku
Her eyes clear
Reflecting the mind
Mischief peaking out
Once in a while
On her chosen path
She is on her way
Determined and sure
None can make her sway
Turning eighteen now
An adult for the world
Leader of the pack
She is still our little girl
The sun rises
Showering it’s glorious rays
illuminating the world
With colours of life
The awake see
the spectacle of the day
For the sleeping
it’s the dark night
There is glory in the world waiting for us to see. They materialise when we see them. They wait for us to see. We just have to open our eyes.
Do share the early morning from where ever you are. Let us share the glory of life.

Cold White sheet spreads neat
Fluffy at someplaces
House stays warm inside
