The Twos.

I am in two minds
says Joseph.
Unable to decide
he bemoans

He has two faces
tells Mary.
One that solicits
while the other resists.

Think twice
commands Jesus.
Be patient and tolerant.
Speaks the Lord.

The twos in a row
make up the resolutions.
A strong union of love and kindness
brings forth cheer and grace.

An Era Of Peace January 15, 2019
could this one be? Where there is no war, one free from gunshots, a year where tranquility prevails. Guns and knives in schools where children should have pens and pencils, causes concern. Tragic to see young ones die. A shudder passes through the spine. My wish could become true, if man thinks for a while, […]

Return Of The Native January 14, 2019
The most in demand the greatest requirement beyond imagination is the cloth bag. The poor one,an age old incumbent uncalled and unwanted has returned. Its siblings and cousins glasses, hay straws, metal spoons banana leaves, enter demure, in all humility. Mother earth rejoices. Known for endurance she put up with the abuse . Posed a […]

Saraswathi January 12, 2019
Saraswathi, of all, not anyone else but my dear mother fascinates me. She disciplines, not with a cane her eyes play the trick we, her kids, turn quiet. Early in the morning the six of us sit around she assigns different tasks to each one. Makes the eldest read, the middle ones learn spellings. She […]

Reverse Expedition January 10, 2019
Have heard of an exodus a whole village settles in distant lands. Poverty drove them from home. Those who had gone live like the natives, talk the language, Stay faithful to their own religion. The names tell us of the ethnicity, the places of their origin. Hard to discriminate otherwise. The search for inner peace […]

A Transformation January 8, 2019
Walking through the land I bruise my hand and legs. Thorns have grown fast. They are bushy and tall. Hard to negotiate I tread with care. It lies so for years a century and half the land remains untended. With me for the past twenty years I owe my apologies for having neglected to improve. […]

Incognito January 5, 2019
I walk past the assembly none recognize me. Had I been away for long? Away in mind and spirit. I deliberate. Sit in a place till the more unknown. I chuckle. Unused to banter and incessant chatter, remain remote. Farther and further I move from the world with a warm smile . I return unnoticed. […]

Days January 4, 2019
Days and nights come and go.Hours move fastwith engagements pass slow when not involved . I see through the years past. Early days fly with cheer and fun. Adolescence sails without a pause. Duties weigh in the adulthood at times oppressing. Pain and peace being homogeneous make the days crawl in old age. Smile takes […]
