The
Glow
Early
morning, the freshness around.
The
chirping of birds, the wondrous sound.
Gradually
the sky getting lighted up.
A
light drizzle has wetted the ground.
The
parrots screeching, the crows cawing.
Nature
waking up and its beauty showing.
The
nightingale hiding in the trees.
I
soaked in happiness, to the beauty of nature bowing.
The
surroundings wake up silently and slow.
The
king rises to steal the show.
Light,
light and light all around
The
beauty, the happiness and the sun’s glow.
The
Other View
The
same crane standing still for years.
The
iron frame, tall and strong.
The
yellow iron body zigzagging up to the sky.
Never
paid attention to the inanimate structure.
It
was there all though trying to touch the sky.
Vying
in height with the electric pole beside it.
Many
a poem have I written about the electric pole.
How
beautifully it blends with the greenery as well as the clouds.
But
the crane was there like an eye sore.
One
day I sat on the other side of the balcony.
The
iron frame came alive.
I
saw bold letters stuck on one side.
I
came to know the company which manufactured the crane.
The
hideous frame mellowed down.
I
found a character in it
Suddenly
I saw the other view.
Evolving
Heart
With
age my heart is evolving.
As
evolution involves elimination,
So
is my heart ready to eliminate.
Distance
out people who are cunning and shrewd.
Negative
people who crib and brood.
Age
has put a sieve in my heart.
Choosing
people whom I feel happy with.
Being
surrounded with positivity.
No
more searching and searching for new friends.
Happy
with a few dear to my heart has put the search to an end.
My
heart never knew it could stay away from its dearest.
Every
moment has gone in her upbringing.
Memories
of her childhood and her growing up.
My
only child for studies staying away from me.
My
heart has accepted that too you see.
No
more hazzles with family.
Accepting
their differences in glee.
Reaching
out to help them.
Smoothening
out their different points of view.
With
just being with them as me and you.
