The year is almost complete. In a matter of hours, we will step into a new decade and I will look back at the past ten years with a mix of emotions.

The Yearbook
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

A Shortcut to Heaven
Hell’s gate opened up
Swallowing me in whole
Crazy as it may seem
’twas not too bad at all.
I followed the path hazy
Leading to nowhere sure.
The way was not that scenic
At least I wasn’t there alone.
A Song for the Unknown Child
I was born in someone’s womb,
Cherished, nourished and nurtured.
I have been in the shop of candy
Built a castle on the sea shore.
I loved the rocking horse,
Also the carousel at fun fair.
I’ve founded many realms, in play;
Lost countless hours in peekaboo.
A Log on Fire
I stood by the ancient fire
One that the souls endure
Neither quelled, nor quenched
With a pang, my heart wrenched.
Started with a benign fondle
Sparked by a Love so pure
Oh ye mother, who stayed strong
How could your ember go so wrong?
Finding my Sanity
I woke up one Sunday morning
Eager for mom’s special treat

My life, now, had a whole new beat.
I walked out of my little home
Wanting to enjoy a quiet walk.
It was completely out of tone,
The chaos & the boisterous talk.

Several decades ago when we were waking ourselves from a nightmare that the world war was, all eyes turned East to salvage some pride. It needed a Gandhi for the world to come to the realization that what we really needed was a war without weapons, a fight without words.
(more…)A Gentle Sob
It was a beautiful journey
Down the green mountain valley.
Cheerful and gay
I looked forward to every day.
The noise of the engine
Never spoiled our chatter;
The sounds of others around
Was lost in our laughter.
A Touch of God
Here’s something that’s never going to make practical sense. The chink in our “survival armour”. The impractical solution that just exacerbated our every day problems. Thanks God!
