30 January

 

30 January 1948

Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi was short dead by an angry violent man Nathu Ram Godsey who unfortunately did not want to breathe under the free sky; he opposed Gandhi ji’s non-violence doctrine to win back India’s independence from Britishers who ruled over India for about two centuries and enslaved India and its people’s mentality.

Gandhi ji said : “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.”

Colours of Autumn as seen through my window:

 

.Coulours of Autumn

 

 I am grateful to the golden leaves

 

they wrote their message on the branches

 

decorated the bare trees with yellow- saffron

 

red, brown, crimson and golden leaves.

 

I see them through my window

 

falling slowly and waving good-bye.

 

Waving in promise to come back

 

in the spring and will bloom again

 

will bring greenery for every eye.

Star-studded Scarf

 

The sky is fully dotted
with tiny shinny stars
Star-studded scarf is mine.
Gazing at the stars
slowly and slowly
stars land into my eyes
the dew-drops glide down quietly.
I see the stars with my shut eyes.
I stay still in meditation.
And tears majestically
roll down on to my cheeks.
Some thing has no beginning
and some reality has no ending.
I pull the star-studded scarf onto me
and cover my entire body.
The lights illuminate each and every
tiny body-hair on my body
and my body becomes radiating.
I don’t know where to take this light.
My feet still walk in the darkness.

  

…And The Flight Dies In The Wings

 

At the seashore

the scarlet rays of the setting  sun

slowly dipping down into the water

touch the shimmering waves.

 

The oil keeps on gushing

spilling and contaminating

the vast waters of the ocean

the cool breeze used to pass

through my hair gently

now it smears my hair

with the smoky oliy mist.

 

In the fading oily sun light 

the silhouette of the flying birds

with black and thick feathers

with dangling fligt trying to fly

and the flight dies in the wings.

Along with the shore, sea-shells,

driftwood, pebbles and oil blobs

birds are stuck there

their feet their feathers

all stuck in the oily mud

their tiny soft feathers

pushing in vain get heavy

with the sluggish waves,

the waters became black

the air is thick with

the smell of the oil.

The birds try and try to fly

but get planted there forever

cannot breathe cannot eat.

Countless thousands are dead

countless will be dead soon.

 

I fear what would become

to my feet walking along

the shore on the oily sands

if I dip my feet

in the sea water at the shore!

What would become

the bone white sea -shells,

honey drift wood,

multi-colored pebbles,

the golden sand,

my bare henna-colored feet  

my footprints?

Life is dying

and the flight dies in the wings!
