Memory of an origami...

Memory of an origami…

A rice paper; square
Folded.
To,
The equal parts.

There, here…
Hands reach
To fold one into another
Creases...
Neither fast, Nor slow
Rhythm sets…
With practiced ease…

Steady.

(...Time stops
In curiosity
…)

Finally…
there it stands tall!
The proud paper crane
Leaping high
held...gently.
On proud wrinkled hands
Soaring with grace…
Up
Down,
Up..then
Down to tiny ones
Expectant..

As .. Faces similar
Break like ice
Into flowing water
There,
Those warm smiles
Reach the eyes
Together...

One; laughing dimples 
With eyes of innocence bright
Another: lines of time sculptured in flesh
Curved with satisfaction wide...

As the sun rests…
With a sigh.
Final.
Their shrinking shadows,
Walk.
 hand-in hand...

One, with a walking stick
Another, with that proud crane

That...origami...

Shine of the sun

Freedom from self
Freedom...true
There are paths
Mine.
Yours..
Ours...

As we,
Dream on…
Live on..
Walk on.

Alone..
We arrived
Another Journey ahead
Alone...will we be

Each path dark
Unknown...
We will, we must
So navigate...

Fear arises.
Naturally...
But let it not go
Over your head...

Give your best
Be bright as you can
Let your shadow do its worst
Shine…
Not for others
Not for me
But for yourself
Shine…
Always 
Even alone
Specially alone…
Shine.

Let your darkeness 
Shine…
Overwhelm inborn ignorance
Learn…
let knowledge replace your doubts
Love…selflessly
Love…endlessly
First…yourself
Then perhaps… me…
Feel as it is
Accept as it is
Be it.

After all...
You. born out of love
A gift, perhaps unexpected…😂
But gift you be…nonetheless

So…
Be kind to yourself
Then empathy comes naturally
Assuming yourself as...
Learned less, ignorant more
Especially ignorant..

That is, love itself
That endless search
Ending in self 
The origin...
Without hearts jealous
Easily Mortals so break

Be. Let’s be.
Beyond time, as one
Past present future
Inseparable
Together
One soul
 Two bodies
forever…

Ah…moon of my life
That was what you whispered
 To Me…In fleeting thoughts
As we separated
One soul two bodies
Even now…how can I forget
That oneness..
Before separation
Familiar oneness
…
Eclipse, the first…that one phase
Long ago but for me not long at all
Eclipse...darkest of dark
Agonizing separation…pain…endless
Never can It be replaced…never
Over it never is, over
Rest. Go in peace…you recurring memories….

Memories…ah…please
Memories.
just let me be
memories…

Balm. Cool touch hers
with soothing thoughts
all over me spreads…

Finally free..
Despite pain…
 free

Rings true
Her thoughts;
Live till the brim
Till the brim is
more…
More than life itself

Try and live
Even if life gives up on you
Test your limits
Break yourself
To remake..
Let nature rebuild
The universe you hold
Go with the big bang
Which remakes me
And you
You.
Especially you

You.

Don’t hide the shine in you
Let it replace
Memories,
 each of those moments
With Love, selfless warm love
That love, I have for you…

Smile…laugh
Let yourself shine
For my shine is in you
As yours is in me”

I know,
What I need to do
As my eyes open
As my body stand 
 a step forward
a journey of next
I smile
Opening arms wide
Feeling her embrace
Feeling her smile
Then…
I shine
First…for myself
Then for her
Especially her...
I shine…😊😊😊

Songs of the rain

The forest sigh
As rain drenches
green leaves above
brown roots below
Where birds nestle
Where squirrels cuddle
in symphony of warmth 

The land virgin
The parched surface
Man never walked
Man never toiled
But.
some day some when
They will…
you will know 
there is something colder
colder than rain
man's ruthlessness
woman's cold shoulder
you will, they will
know...


*     *     *

The cat leaps
With an instinct
As the frog flees
From its curious paws
As the rain ceases
Peace reigns 
Except the constant drips
Lights go out
I am
in darkness...
Left on my own
…sigh…..
