In the midst of my sweet childhood days
I came across a gorgeous machine.
It was known by different names
But I called it my time machine.
A big roar, heard in the beginning
When I watchfully switched it to life.
I was in the middle of a battle
Fought around a century ago.
People, people running all around
Fighting without a reason I know.
Roars of victory and screams in fear
I failed to grasp their different tongue.
Back of horses, on the elephants
They fought a battle unlike to me.
Scenes of horror and bloodshed I saw
Closing my eyes I pressed the button.
Quiet different scenes I opened
In a beautiful well-furnished room
Witnessing an intense private scene
The meaning I couldn't comprehend.
It was surely in someone’s bedroom
Possibly a newly wedded one
Doing in light, should be in the dark
I changed the scene pressing the button.
Different images flashes in front
Again fallen to a battle field
Alien I was and alien it is
People around and the way they fight.
It was in a different planet
Rounding around a bright little star.
They are different and their weapons
Even the light different from us.
Then I decided to check the options
Of this marvelous magic machine.
It can crop centuries to an hour
And can extend an hour to a year.
It takes you to places in a blink
Even to somewhere outside the earth
To the new cities, towns or villages
And the deepest forest or the sea.
While I was admiring the machine
A clear loud rumble came from my back.
Not from the machine sitting in front
It was from the real world where I live.
‘Switch of the TV, go to your room
To complete the homework, remaining’
My father is strict and to be obeyed
But I will come back, dear time machine!

Bat and Gat, on the porch, in the rain,
Lay in rest and surveyed their domain.
With it coming down hard,
Not much up in the yard
To keep hero cats entertained.
Then back at the edge of the woods,
Near the place where the old maple stood,
A mean-looking dog
Emerged from the fog
With his sidekick and up to no good.
Bat and Gat didn’t take it in stride;
Double-checking, kept eyes open wide.
The chickens were couped;
The goats were all grouped
With their guard dog right there by their side.
The two dogs were sniffing around,
But so far, no mischief was found.
Their sniffs were half-hearted
No real trouble started:
The rabbit fence there to confound.
All at once, it wasn’t so great
For the kids had forgotten the gate!
The dogs were right there;
They gave Blue a scare.
As they tried to tear open her crate.
Guard dog Juno’s as big as a horse.
They’re cats; they avoid her, of course.
But with trouble begun,
They needed big guns
And she was a true fighting force!
A rescue plan was quickly hatched;
Gat slid open the goat pen gate latch.
Then, bounding, comes (you know!)
The giant dog Juno,
And now we had a fair match.
Guard dog Juno then did what she should:
She scared those mutts off pretty good.
With no help to avail,
Let out yelps and tucked tail,
And they bolted it back to woods.
Poor Blueberry was a bit shaken,
But Bat and Gat had not forsaken
Their hero cat roles.
Now Bat, watchfully strolls
While Gat's rainy day nap is taken!
ABANDONED SNEAKERS IN THE STREETS
As we walked watchfully along the way,
a pair of sneakers lay silently in the streets;
abandoned by flight or neglect. Their soles
have lost their occupant: gone to who knows where.
We cannot know the life they once shared;
for there are no footprints in the asphalt to trace
the path of their beginning nor the lonely journey's end;
neither is there a catalogue of exciting events experienced.
We will never know the lord and master
from whom they have been emancipated
to be left here only with the odor of memory:
an acquired anti-aromatic epitaph.
Swiftly strolling silently onward, we pondered
the sneakers’ seduced soul---rather than their sole.
One day this too, will be the fate of our shoes:
abandoned and left only with an acquired
anti-aromatic odor of memory.
Simply watchfully looking
Awareness self aware
Waves rising & ebbing
As hidden desires declare
There is no one here
Cognition heightened remains
Vibration which draws near
Possibly an egoic stain
Is-ness of being-ness
A mist with no attribute
Save throb of blissfulness
Is-ness prayerfully resolute
Any aspect within that sizes
Deluded thought interference
Blocking divine surprises
Corrupting pristine innocence
Dwelling in mind body form
A divine gift from the universe
Imbibing bliss magnetism warm
Without attempting to rehearse
Upon cessation of limited doing
As of our conditioned past
Simply watching doing nothing
Celebrating each pulse as our last
Orientation of agendalessness
Inner sentience wide awake
Vibrancy in gentle blissfulness
Divine blessings we partake
In stillness

At The Feeder, January 18th
The fresh dusting of snow this morning
is now a lacy network of sparrow tracks
overwritten by the single trail
of the marauding squirrel.
The feeder has been frozen
for two days,
and the only way to feed the birds
is to scatter seed on the snow.
The black squirrel,
shoulders hunched,
slowly moves across the snowy plain,
vacuuming up seed
as he goes.
His exhaled breath puffs the snow
as he creeps forward exposing more food.
The mourning doves sit watchfully
at a distance,
almost hypnotized by the action below,
timid, even amongst the sparrows.
The sparrows flit about
looking for an opportunity to land.
When one brave soul gets his feet on the ground,
he is joined by the rest of the flock
and the squirrel moves on
with a look that says,
“I was finished anyway.”
“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” John 3:2 of the King James Bible
Miracles indeed smite woe and sorrow
Since the Almighty ignites hopeful glow
Emancipating me from grievous doubts
Surely showing triumph for tomorrow.
Having been conquered by miracles’ bouts
My heart gladly worships with praise-filled shouts
Holding on to Christ’s assurance of grace
Hoisted for divine freedom from guilt-clouts.
Thanking God for miracles midst life’s race
My faith propels me well, strongly to face
Grim realities that shatter great dream
Guarded against pangs of torturous space.
Tasting triumph due to miracles’ scream
My spirit trusts the Lord for service-beam
Watchfully reaching-out to ease pain’s blow
Sharing blessings, along provision stream.
