Light and sound show

Lightning,
Wind buzzing,
Voila! It rains.

Clouds

Dark and grey

they blanket,

flashing lights

every now and then,

murmuring

a tad too noisily,

"We vent it out here?"

Carpets of grass
sprawled all across,
have been waiting...

The 100 th !

What better day than this,
Nothing seems to be amiss.
A little shower
falling from Heavens,
appears in sync
with the song
playing in my room.
I open my balcony door,
green carpet of grass,
a bit greener trees,
and the hills
greet me together.
A gentle breeze
welcomes me to
their marvelous world.
My admiration
reaches the sky,
still laden with clouds,
yet reluctant
to pour out completely
their hearts,
as if in a playful mood,
deliberately teasing me.
My gaze reaches
the top of the hill.
Amidst natural harmony,
my eyes trace a lone deer,
in deep contemplation,
looking in my direction.
I wonder what goes on
in his mind,
and wave at him.
How would he react?
Does he react?
I feel he does,
The deer as still as the hill
twitches his ear.
Did he acknowledge?
A little later,
another pair of ears
gradually come closer
from behind the hills.
And then two more.
The family stays together.
I leave them in peace
and look around.
I catch a glimpse
of a couple,
sticking together,
sheltering from falling drops
in someone's balcony,
sprinkling rain
offering them
some moments of togetherness.
How pleasing this world is!
A blessing, I feel
has surely touched me.

Pictures

A picture

brings a smile 

on your face,

taking you down

the memory lane.

It brings alive

the moment

you once lived,

fills your heart

with rapturous pleasures.

Pictures are your moments, 

your only treasure.

A little relieved...

A little better
apppeared this day,
far from yesterday's anxieties,
some relief on its way.
But as it is human nature,
a certain something,
has occupied the mind.

"Do not get stuck!,
Let your mind stray!"

Anxiety pangs !!

And the day arrives.
What I have been asking for
is getting realized.
But hey!
A wait so long,
and now a sudden
eruption of this feeling
so strong.
"Do you really want it?",
asks the inner self.
The kid within
has tears in the eyes.
The sudden realization
of distance dawns upon.
A voice whispers in the ears,
softly it suggests to run away.
The other self sits back and watches
as it knows
this is how everything starts,
a ritual in its own way
has it become.
But in the end,
things fall into place
and shall get comfortable
in the newer space.
