A piece of sunshine on earth – a yellow flower
A rosy pink hibiscus to brighten your day
When you see a few smudges on the floor…
… and you can make out some figure there, what do you do?
Well, this once I took a snap and drew the face I saw there in my mind’s eye.
Take Care of Nature
Nature has many moods
It rains when it cries
Shines when it smiles
Storms when it rages
And erupts when furious
Quakes when it’s repulsed
Thunders when it argues
Snows when it’s aloof
And breezes when content
It dries up when helpless
And floods when baffled
If we keep nature in a good mood
We can enjoy rest, air, water, and food
Else nature has forceful ways
To decimate all without trace…
The Five Senses
The cuck-koo of the koel
The chirp-chirp of the sparrow
Sounds that assuage
Many a little sorrow
The blue of the skies
The cobalt of the sea
Sights that lift
Many a broken spirit
The aroma of flowers
The fragrance of wet soil
Smells that soothe
Many a troubled mind
The sweet of fruits
The crunch of nuts
Tastes that nourish
Many a fatigued palate
The cool of a soft breeze
The feel of a warm sun
Touches that enliven
Many a dead hope
The Dawning Flower
For you all, from my terrace garden today. Have a day as lovely as this flower!

Advice
We want to have
A say in everything
But, seldom have the data
To say the right thing
Opinions are welcome—
That’s our perspective
But, forcing specific decisions
Is far from supportive
So, when someone has troubles
And wants a solution
We must listen with care
And guide them to one!
