Genus

A seed was planted

Nurtured for years to come

Sheltered from high wind 

Protected from storm

In time seed transformed

In a handsome tree that bore 

Fruits sweet and succulent 

And cool shade abundant

Looking at it asked curious 

Ones what species is that

Where did we find the genus

What could be an answer better

Than call it gentry of love 

A God's gift imparted to us.

Random Thought lV

Childhood returns in old age

Every little hurt brings a tear and an 'ouch'

No mom is there with a kiss and a soft blow

But time is plentiful to dry those saline drops

Alone, in quiet, without any body looking.

Once the storm is over 

Calm returns as usual

Like nothing happened

Just but a lees of muddy soil 

settled deep upon  psyche.

No pilgrimage is enough to

Cleanse that soiled and dusty heart

Than an arroyo of love and forgiveness.  

Pioneers are sacrificial lamb

With their flash and blood

Paving the way for greater good.

In my old age 

I need a high tech kitchen

No cook required.

Random Thoughts lll

No matter how hard we try

Some desires stay unfulfilled

Some work left undone

Some relationship painfully destroyed

Some pride hurt, some integrity tarnished

Better to be happy and satisfied

With whatever little our gains are

And be thankful for life and its provide.

This fear and distrust of fellow being

Encroaching upon our psyche 

A parasite amorphous spread wide

Destroying the love and trust

That builds the human life.

Angry words cut cleaner than sword

No tearing of flesh and no blood to spill 

Yet heart is cut like grass under scythe.

Faith has value 

So does logic

Conformity lets you live in ease

Liberty of thought goes after risk

Opportunity comes

On its on terms

If ever you hear its knock

Have courage to hold its hand

And walk out of the door

Failure comes

Not because one is incapable

But because one sets a goal

Far beyond one’s capabilities.
