Childhood

Lost are those days,

when each dawn had a new friend  for me

Chirrupings of those birds delighted me

Winking of flowers made me laugh

Hands were only for hugs

Lips chanted only ‘mother’

Loneliness made me play

Bees recited poems

longings made me walk

Lost….

but not forever

Days live, Friends live,birds live….

so do the child in me 😛

I Wonder……

I wonder how the land of life

Will be across this shimmering blue

I wonder how the mysterious sun

Brighten the queen of mermaids

I wonder how the blossoms beneath

Beautify the pearls

I wonder how he sails

Across these five

I wonder, how the lullaby

Of the waves sleeps

The crawling babies

I wonder how she swallows

My words written on her face
