Rainbow Dreams

RAINBOW DREAMS
What would I not give for the wonder
In the eyes of a little girl
Somewhere on the edge of the horizon

A game of peek a boo
Comes alive when giggles dapple
The sunlight’s foray through the window bars

Suddenly activity becomes urgent and a shower of babbles
Burst forth in happy momentum 
And you are the sun

Rainbows are the stuff life is made of
The marriage of the rain and the sun
When on a battered scooter youth meets old age in the street corner

These are the dreams of a teacher
Weaving fabrics with tattered threads
The colours vibrant in fading eyesight
Like the smart salute of the girl who cried in your class everyday

I Sing My Own Song

I sing my own song
I sing my own song 
On the wing
Whenever I sing
Do you hear
The silences between
When I say
What I cannot
And when I hesitate
Do you pull words
Out of my mouth
Do the knots in my thoughts
Baffle you
When  you listen to 
What I don’t say
Why do I feel
I must say
Something more
That I cannot fathom
Till silence wins and
Leaves fall
In springtime
 
Still
When the flowers bloom
And birds sing
There is a squirrel
Twittering – finding her own song
