Mother - The Reflection of Divine Love A mother is not merely a relation, She is Heaven’s tender grace. A living stream of love and mercy, Wrapped in warmth and endless embrace. She walks through storms without complaining, Yet lays soft flowers upon our way. She hides her tears behind a smile, So her children may laugh each day. She breaks her bread to feed her family, Though hunger quietly fills her soul. She sacrifices dreams in silence, Just to make her children whole. Through sleepless nights beside our pillows, She whispers prayers no ears can hear. Carrying every wound in silence, Holding her children forever near. And when we wander far from goodness, Losing sight of the path once known, She bends her knees in faithful prayer, Calling for mercy before the throne. A mother’s wisdom shines like lanterns, Guiding hearts through darkest nights. Teaching truth, compassion, kindness, Leading souls toward what is right. Where a praying mother is present, Peace gently fill...

autumn evening--
I lightly touch
my son's first scribbles

vacation over
a cockroach rushes out
from shoes
first rain
statue washes itself
of droppings
dawn rain
hilltop temple rests
in the puddle below
highway
car in front takes away
afternoon sun
sunrise
lotus leaf holds
a mercury drop
brief rain
on the balcony rim
row of pearls
after cooking at 5star
chef returns home
for mom’s dinner
so cold
the rat doesn’t come out
for the bait
dark sky
the only one out
is the floating leaf
sudden darkness
dogs bark on the road
dotting my way
end of term
lizard all alone
on the writing board
long day
shadows crawl
at snail’s pace

queue for darshan--
she mumbles her prayers
at a roadside puddle
heavy rain
his palm catches a drop
from the leak
army recall
a cockroach escapes
from the uniform
security frisk
the officer passes one's perfume
to the next
