I am a tourist
Came here for a short visit
Will be heading back in no time
My journey on the highway of life
Is not only brief but also unpredictable
I don’t know when I will depart for good
I just wish that I can give finishing touches
To this journey‘s manuscript before the end time calls
To go peacefully into the dark is my dearest wish

Things are dire when the flag is at half-mast
We don’t know the way home and have succumbed
A victim to those dark whispers in our hearts
The loss of hope is our biggest defeat indeed
All that we see around us is despondency
Go on, pick up the fallen staff
It’s time to rekindle the flame

I am sharing another post from August 2019!
It was a poignant tale of cruelty
People called her abnormal all her life
She was just lost trying to find her way
Who were others to judge her she asks
What is normal and what is not
Those mighty people trying to sit in judgment
They need to look at their own lives first
One can be extraordinary and different
There are no normal and abnormal people
Stop putting labels on others
Look into your hearts to find compassion first

Begone racism, scurry away to a dark corner
Where you and others like you belong
It is unfair, echoes the perfunctory sentiments
When faced with this deadly demon of inequality
Our words fall short of the experience that others feel
These typical responses won’t cut the deal this time around
We may be unready to herald this change right now
But the reality is that it’s way past the time for it
Take out the carcass of racism and bury it deep
Let not its’ specter escape, let’s get rid of it altogether

Our intrepid heroine sashays fearlessly
Her trusted stead bravely holding strong
As she hitched it up to the castle moat
She is the star of her own story, the brave adventurer
Her dogma is helping others in need her faith un-breakable
Only the obtuse would fail to share her dreams
These fantastic adventures she has in her imagination

My memory often takes a walk in the past
The sights and smell of favorite places evoking redolence
Remembering the hustle and bustle of bygone days
Breath-less with excitement, running wild with happiness
Hand in the hand of that favorite uncle, who was simpatico
Cognizant of what a six year old would like to do
Taking me to the fair and letting me enjoy all that sticky food
In my memories I go a generation back when I was
A child myself, and not an aging relic that I am now

Her inky fingernails scribble on the canvas of life
What are her thoughts that she wants to tell us
Can you ascertain what goes on behind those eyes
That she has screwed shut against the ungracious world
Sitting under the antique pergola of deserted garden
She is waiting for someone to find her truth

Trust and faith sometimes can be frangible
We pay penalty for losing hope with unhappiness
I would rather sing odes to the blessings which
I and my household are endowed with, innumerable
Nothing epic, all simple ordinary things I can count
But each and everyone one of them makes my heart stout
This gratitude starts the journey initially
And takes me to the road of marvelous discoveries

He sits on that bench under the tree
Gently seeding young mind with wisdom
Children playing around him are now familiar
With his way of starting a conversation
He would come to their aid, his efficacy very valid
His knowledge a font of wisdom, a source of learning
It’s designed to help them unobtrusively without irritation
The children don’t even mind the occasional burp
Always looking for that gentleman in a purple shirt

Driving my car in those days of yore
I felt as if I had stepped into a magical chariot
It would take me seamlessly to my destination
I didn’t have to cajole or beg for favors
Just a discreet pressure on the paddle and off I went
Enjoying the rush of hot air in winter days
Or blast of cooling waves in summer drives
Sadly it has become a little passé with time
The novelty and wonder faded with constant exposure
How I would like to rekindle that sense of awe and wonder
