Hills beyond the meadows peek,
Calls back the Earth for then retreat,
Lo! Gone away with swooshing sweep,
Caressing voyager ambling breeze.
Atop the sun momentarily though,
A flash of golden to and fro,
Slithering past the grasses away,
Darkening shades of shadows grey.
Charming glint, a sparkle white,
Pleasant tunes of songs delight,
Bliss of spirit, timeless scene,
Spell of mirth, the joy of being.

One smile here,
One cheer there,
Scintillating aura,
Shine everywhere.
Devoid grown dry,
Along with wry,
Sunk, withered
And slowly die.
Dark crucifies
Alight in guise
Emerge, Renewed,
Boundless, flies.

Tune of merriment blowing breeze
Roars crash flashes senses seize
Splashes play joyful jittery sound
Swaying Redwood Pines earthly bound
Soothe suspended shivering night
Quiet loud flickering candle light
Peeps in the wintry freezing cold
Clutch close the blanket one more fold

Year by year came and went
Wandering in life was all that meant
By grace so kind though at the end
Miracle! To find one true a friend
Winged words from mind and tales to tell
As if have known for eons so well
Divine The Force can only send
Blessings! To meet such true a friend

*The poem expresses the joy and exhilaration of meeting a true friend. I have had many such experiences and feel very proud about it. I think friendship is the most wonderful of all relationships. Even in our father, mother, brother, sister, husband or wife, we seek a ‘friend’. Realizing that we have a true friend/s gives unparalleled joy.

Doing the new
Tried by few
Different from mass
Drab Dismal class
Stamp it down; crush
Ahead, ahead you rush
In clouds you rise
Tear the skies
Look not below
Uninspiring, the slow
The grand summit’s view
Deserves only you!

Dear WordPress why ye disappear
Words I etched with stones so clear
It’s not sound it’s not fair
My words you dissolve in thin air
Long a spell away from home
Reading blogs along I roam
Express when I of love and care
My words you dissolve in thin air
Kins and comrades figures in space
jovial familiar charming grace
Friendly pleasantries when I share
My words you dissolve in thin air
And when with mirth a friendly note
Came and quick I neatly wrote
Back and then I saw nowhere
My words you dissolved in thin air.

(PS: For a long time, the office works clogged me from returning to blogging. But I used to roam around and read blogs. Unfortunately, some of my comments disappeared immediately after I posted on someone’s post. Sometimes it stayed and that was fine. But the disappearing comments made me crestfallen. I still find the ailment persisting in WordPress. It is disappointing.)

Once in a blue moon
torrents of rain
clutching the earth fast
tides in vain.
Once in a blue moon
stranger, a face
hazy, the fog white
longing embrace.
Once in a blue moon
darkness the cloud
roaring the flash light
whispers so loud.
Once in a blue moon
silence descends
surreal alone white
quiet; it ends.
