what a day, all in a day

joyful victories
of a small frog in a big lake
and cris of a big frog in a small pool
all in a day

making a difference
persuading the new
journeymen
walking along
all in a day

cries of an old tree
unable to bear haphazard pruning
shedding all the flowers
all in a day

smiles of a quiet
devotee
at the altar of Maa kaali
all in a day

laughter

if the salience is subtracted from silence
does it become laughter
does it matter?

who can restrict any body from
trivializing the search for substance
after all
trivia can provide
the much needed respite
from meaningless chase
of a wandering ship
for the safe spot
for throwing the anchor
laugh, o wave laugh
lest the froth on the shore
bemoans
the sound of
the empty cans
unable to scare the birds away
in a parched land
with shrunk crop

gems, sometimes dont know the sparkle within

gems
dont know
the sparkle with in
so sure of darkness
in the heart
they are able to
colour
all canvases black
but then once in a while
unexpected things happen
cracks in the
coat of creative self
make the light escape inner recess
truth and beauty start to possess
