A morning full of joy

                                                   Carmel-2013
A morning full of joy
When Marigold fields rise
All of a sudden
All at a time,

On a winter day
When the fog disappears
As slow and as late
As the faces that appear,

Complete and content
When the doors need not open
For they come
Out of the fog,

That clears by now
With rays of hope
For all high and low
Elated and not so,

From far inside
From another life
To hold and keep
The moment’s beauty within.

Thinking of you


                          From the longest bridge on Brahmaputra river, Nov 2013.

With no words
Time passes
The life continues
And the moment waits
Just thinking of you
On a restful day
At peace within.
 
(Written for my friend who lost her husband on this day 5 years back)

When Ganga turned red

                                      At the Ganges on Kali Puja day, Kolkata-Nov 2, 2013
Ganga flowed at dawn
And at dusk
Taking with it
Lives that will never be heard
Prayers by its side
Continued in spite
Bringing immortal hope
And solace to aging minds
As the sun strolled
Turning it red
Sinking all underneath
All that had survived
Of a lonely house
A dim lit corner
Where the gods had slept
On starry nights.
