Life is a window of being
Was, nor will be,
Life, a window is of being,
Perhaps,
One is never sure.
A window,
When looked out, the world unfolds,
Perhaps,
World’s what you make of it.
I look and see a Kadamb tree,
Her leaves flutter
And bathe in winter’s golden sun.
Her lemon-size fruits look inviting,
Which, not but monkeys are biting
Even after they ripen,
Once the bees have enjoyed
Its buds-like flowers.
I also see a Saptaparni,
A bird on it sings her loneliness
Hiding under its branch
Whilst my old age broods mine.
All this vision is
Long as you see, no more when not,
The view on this window
Was, nor will be.
Life’s a window of being,
Perhaps,
One is never sure.
