Mothers' treasures
Creature comforts
You are our mother…
Your waters cleanse and give us life
Flow like pouring silk
Caress our bodies, fill our souls
This is our mother’s milk
You are my mother…
Our long lived elder matriarch
Your wisdom shared in story
Ageing oh so gracefully
Never to feel poorly
You are our mother….
A kaleidoscopic wonderland
Of bountiful creations
Signatures of evolution
Across our global nations
You are my mother….
Your well of loving nurture
Bottomless it seems
Enlightenment dosed cups of tea
The recipe of dreams
Respect our mothers…
Comfort is so pale a word
To describe our mothers’ richness
A crib to lay and rest a while
To treasure not just witness

Full Contentment
I saw a turtle with its shell against the sun—soaking in the pleasantries that drifted along the mellow winds. The turtle's little head was held high, eyes closed—not in smugness—but in full contentment. I wished to be that unbothered as I walked by hastily, even though I had no destination impatient for my arrival. The turtle on the rock by the rippling water gave me hope, something to look forward to—that I too could be that content if I allowed myself to be, with my head held high, and no worries to speak of. So I continued my walk at a slower pace and the turtle continued to sunbathe in bliss.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
