My Unfamiliar Journey (the journey of a rain-drop)

Oh! From heaven I descended,
Set foot on an alien land,
A prolonged struggle set in
For familiarity in a strange new world,
I came to terms with the virgin habitat.

My journey commenced,
For perfection in an imperfect world,
Vague future beckoned me,
The call, how irresistible,
Signalled by the enticing beauty of a thousand rainbows.

Uncertainty enveloped me,
Vacancy absorbed the space within me,
I was man-led apart by indecision,
To choose between the native land and alien shore,
I pulled myself together.

I succumbed to the murmur of my soul,
Streams of thought surveyed my past,
I longed for the stolen solitude,
Which I often casually cast away,
I felt pacified and delighted.

I responded to the call of fate,
It strengthened my attachment and faith,
Rejuvenated once more by a meaningful travel,
It dispelled the gloom of doubt,
Little knowing ‘tis the gateway to the Great being.

Enlightening us all along,
On our onward march to eternity,
Breaking loose, the mystery of doubt,
Provides us a safe ‘go back’,
At last to the celestial abode,
From where I came.

Grandma…

  Grandma… I wish you were here, Grandma… not in memory, not in silence, but here, with your hands, your voice, your eyes that saw, more than the world revealed. You loved without asking, you cared without pause, a presence steady as breath, as the turning earth. Now that you’re gone, every space feels louder. If you were the rain, I would walk without cover, welcoming every drop. If you were sunlight, I would stand still, let it burn gently into my skin— your warmth, your peace. If you were wind, I’d never move again, just to feel, your quiet joy brush past, once more. I wish… But wishes only echo where your voice once lived.

Richie

  Richie Like a whisper of life, he came, A companion pup without a name, For the baby that bloomed inside of me, Capturing hearts with his playful nature . A few months old, so small, so sly, With twinkling mischief in each eye. Whimpers curled in midnight air, Daylight brought his hungry stare, Wagging and jumping out of excitement, For treats so tempting. He danced through clothes and chewed on shoes, A rebel pup with no excuse. He barked at strangers, proud and free, Keeping us safe and guarded. Time moved on, as my baby grew, And Richie watched, with shining eyes. He sniffed the window, fogged the glass, Watching tiny fingers pass. A tiny handshake and a pat, Was all that delighted him most. They spoke in tongues that they could construe, A secret code, profound. He’d wait for snacks at dawn and dusk, Munching them at his favourite corner. Interactions minimal, but a bond intense, A silent friend, so calm, so hushed. With every word we ever said, He’d tilt his head, as if he r...

Dear unborn brother

Despite decades that passed by, Now I yearn to know you… Craving to see you… My dearest baby brother… In the shadows of the womb An ephemeral soul Unseen, unheard, unknown A story that ended  Far before being written In the hushed whispers of choices made For reasons complex and decisions made. Like a candle light that got blown out Even before being lit A tiny heartbeat  That was muted A silent cry And words unuttered Dreams that faded away  My brother, unborn… A life unfinished, Rare echoes of your story… Heard, but unheard Felt, but unfelt An emotion That alphabets fail to unravel… The echoes of your heartbeat, Unknown… Lingering deep within my heartbeat, Like a heartache, profound… Imagining words unspoken, And sights unseen… A sibling’s love, unexpressed, A bond, what might have been, A life, with memories made together, All left incomplete… Never in my vaguest thought Did I imagine That you would be part of my story  Like a void in life’s motion In the sacred c...
