As the clock ticked by,
the virus returned in a
lethal avatar
Note: For those who thought that they had defeated COVID and it was all a thing of the past, unfortunately with the 2nd / 3rd / 4th waves, the virus has reminded all of us that we are mere mortals.

imagined how humans flew from one place

It had just been a while since he was gone. Her world revolved around him from morning to night. And now, he had just been cruelly taken away from her.
Her mind just kept wandering back to the last time she saw him. The day was as hectic as it could get and she had never ever been this busy. While she had been a tyro at the start, she had built a strong career in the decade she had worked at this organization. And things had just kept getting busier. She didn’t even have time to bid him goodbye while leaving home. Little did she know that that was the last time.
She kept reading about rebirth and also hoping for a message in a glass bottle from him indicating that he was fine.
She believed – If you are a dreamer, come in.
Note: The line – “If you are a dreamer, come in” is from Shel Silverstein’s poem Invitation as published in his book Where the Sidewalk Ends.

While her eyes didn’t aid
her, her hands and feet worked in
sync to change her life

While the king had an air about himself
along with an eccentric persona,
his jester was a prankster and a charmer

Washing, drying and
folding clothes was a routine
he became used to
Once everything was
set, the washing machine came
to life with a rumble
It had a life of
its own making the clothes dance
amidst the detergent
As the seasons change, so does a lot in our lives.
While spring is the time for new plans to look forward to,
Summer is the time for so many outdoor activities.
While autumn is the time when colours and seasons change,
Winter is the time for getting in the warmth and spending time with family around the fireplace.
As the seasons change, so does a lot in our lives.

The painter gave life to a plethora
of colours which define life in all its
shapes and forms with several ups and downs.
Note: The poem is inspired from the abstract art titled – ‘A Painter Without a Brush’ (Gerhard Richter)
As the flood of light inundated the
room through the translucent window, he felt
a rush of energy only to have
his stomach in knots at the thought of the
approaching cyclone which was enough to
scathe them leaving a ton of damage behind.
