"Some days when I am able to pick a pen and write, I know I have been blessed."~Savita

Welcome to my blog. In my quiet hours I seek to touch the depth of myself and my surroundings. My thoughts that take form of poetry are just the scratches on the surface of life as it reveals to me. Wrapped in a delicate veil of symbolism and ambiguity these verses and expressions also fulfill my desire to share a bit of my self with others. I hope reading them would be as enjoyable for you as writing them has been for me.

Shraddha Days

 


Cloudy skies welcome the fall

In my dreams I visit abode of death.

A loving hand, a healing touch 

Extends to wipe the sufferings.

The beloved departed souls

Bless us from a distance.

The ever present emotional connection

Blooms in various hues on Shradha days.
