My Ability and Inability, Altogether
We talked today after a long, long time.
I was mostly listening, and I can do that better, I think.
She was worried about me. Anxious and agitated
“Please read the holy book every day,
Recitation of holy scriptures will keep the evils
Of our minds away,” she said.
Those words of divine revelations,
The opening,
The people of the cave.
Lives of ancient people with the glory of ancient times.
I am mostly invisible these days.
Kids laugh and play, and sleep
They do their homework
With or without me.
I wander in my invisible self
without any clue for a quick fix.
My little one was laughing, giggling the other day
"Why can’t you take me in your lap?” He asked.
"You are growing up, that’s why,” I answered.
He shrugged and went away.
I attended a webinar about writing poems today
I asked a question on the chatbox
And felt I went to my invisible phase again, probably
It happens quite often, at least some days are like that.
Right now, sunlight is touching my cheeks, I could feel.
Pouring words just started swirling, which would help me to forget
My ability and inability, altogether.
