Pink sunrise

How wonderful, wonderfully peaceful are my days.
Brimming with contentment.
I am bursting to write.
Wax poetic, spurt effusive.
Alas! my words don't flow when my cup overflows.
I am smiling at this screen.
No torment to denote.
No conflict to resolve.
Just butterfly kisses and sunrise tickled pink.
How wonderful, wonderfully peaceful are my days.

Travel

I don't know where I am headed, but am sure as hell enjoying the ride

45 minutes

My Dear Friend

I spent 45 minutes with you today
Over the phone
We connected.
Our voices echoed
Entwining, recognizing
Laughing, empathizing
Just 45 minutes
To affirm my faith
Polish my viewpoints
To stop second-guessing
To stop spiralling with self-doubt.
Just 45 minutes on the phone with you
Is all it took.
How do you do it?
How do you say just the right things? In just the right words?
I don't need to know...
Just do what you do-
My dear, dear friend.

Its a small world

A little boy lived on the slopes of a rolling green hill.And all over were even more green hills. They swelled and dipped cheerfully all around his house.On sunny days white cotton clouds would saunter by the hills. The little boy would lie back on the thick green grass. The clouds made funny faces and made him laugh.
On stormy evenings, the wind would howl around his house and angry dark clouds would come knocking on the tight shut door. Rain would lash against the windows and pester its ways in.The little boy would stare out the window. The helpless clouds outside would make him laugh -and clutch tighter to his mother's hand.

Oblivion

The world is burning
Decapitated, truncated
Bloody, muddy, fearful
Shine down Lord
Shimmering rays of peace
Burst out from within
Our goodness, Narsimha
Through pillars of hate
I cradle my children
Shielding, praying
How long? For how long?
They tore me asunder
And fought out their way
For what? This hell?
I will not let go
You owe it, to me
Lull our hearts
Soothe our brows
Help us sleep
Gently, past the sun, the moon, the stars.....
Into deep, peaceful oblivion.
