The Midnight Rain

Rain rain, so nice and calm,
You are always a pleasure,
Relaxing and refreshing,
You cool the heat down.

Here you come today,
With bombs of thunder,
And swords of lightning,
Scaring the whole town.

Like in most horror movies,
An almost pitch dark room,
Lights up with a loud sound,
With a terrified dog's mourn.

There have been times,
When you came with smiles,
And we enjoyed playing,
And running on our lawn.

At times you sweetly come,
When the sun shines warm,
And make the sky romantic,
As a lovely rainbow is born.

Rain oh rain, just like a mind,
With flowing and pouring
Feelings; some are calming
And some make us frown.

A mind with fantasies,
As colourful as a rainbow,
Giving us a dreamy hope of a
Soon to come, new dawn.

The thunders are the voices
That constantly push us
Into thoughts and dilemmas,
In which we tend to drown.

Miss you thatha

A walking encyclopedia he was I still can't accept his loss "Life is a Maya" he believed With positivity and wisdom he lived A doctor, a spiritualist, a poet he was Always learning without a pause Any subject, the depth he knew People like him are very few His writing, preaching, his poetry, His wisdom, vast as branches of a tree, There was no one he couldn't inspire, He's one soul we all dearly admire, A wonderful husband and father, The world's best grandfather, A cutest great grandfather he was, His pure soul deserves an applause. The past is gone, he is gone, Now it's our time to move on, He always talked of the 'power of now', At present what is alive is his love

When I see life

When I see life as a garden, I see flowers, trees and lots of fun, I also see pests and weeds, But when i clear them, I get my needs. When I see life as a tree, I feel like leaves high up and free, Then comes the autumn and I shed down, But then comes spring: a new dawn.  When I see life as the sky, I feel like a bird and I can fly!! I also see clouds that make me feel low, But only clouds can bring rains and a rainbow.

Cradle- That’s life

On 28 th march 1990, I was born, So little was I, wrapped in a pink blanket, I was brought to my mother all clean, And was put in a cradle, A little wooden rocking cradle, For a little sweet baby me! My daddy came in to see his child, Admiring my little hands, so mild, He was lost in a new fathers’ world; Looking at me seeing him from the cradle, Yawning with my small mouth open, My dad felt, to him I had spoken! I grew up playing in my cradle, time passed, With dolls, teddies and ribbons, I slept there in my baby bed; Protected in a pink mosquito net, And cried out for my mommy, As I got up… “Maini”, that’s what I said. Now that I am a grown up adult, A cradle is no longer my meaning of security, As it was then, when I was an infant, Now, the world seems like a cradle to me, With the ups and downs, oscillating, Alternating, and swinging me. Looking at my life as a ...
