Sometimes, life's chaos turns order upside down, casting a dark hue
On the horizon, but we remain unfazed by its multiplicity of calamities
In spite of it all, somehow, we always manage to muddle through
Sometimes, life's chaos turns order upside down, casting a dark hue
On the road ahead. Before long, the dark veil lifts to a brighter view
Yet we still live our lives, undisrupted; entertaining new possibilities
Sometimes, life's chaos turns order upside down, casting a dark hue
On the horizon, but we remain unfazed by its multiplicity of calamities

Two trees side by side
Leaves danced together once, interleaved
In the music of the spring air,
All dry and fallen now, uncared.
Branches reached out once, entangled,
Tenderly caressed the blooming flowers,
All broken and bent now, unembraced.
In the twilight gleam
The cracked trunks still glow,
The enmeshed roots not yet dry
Hold each other close, unseen,
Brace the face of storm, they turn into mural wood.
Two figures stand, you and me,
In the falling light of the setting sun,
Become the dust of the golden days,
Covered by decades of togetherness
Don’t blow now in the winter breeze.
The embracing arms once warm and agile
Now petrified by time, unsaught.
Love in the twilight colors still glitters
In the crevasses of our wrinkled faces,
The entwined hearts not yet old
Pulsate to the music of youth, undisrupted,
In life's symphony, we turn into violin.

The artist
As the sun has done its duty
For this part of earth today
It will gently make an exit
And just dim and fade away
And this spectacle is amazing
See a work of art unfold
Colors do their dance of splendor
A sight of brilliance to behold
It’s as if a gifted artist
Keen on beauty and on bliss
Tried to capture every essence
Of undisrupted peacefulness
And the blending hues and colors
Make a pattern of their own
So entwined, their radiation
Proves they can not stand alone
And this artwork keeps evolving
Observant eyes would see the change
Whether close or from a distance
The view is never out of range
And the colors become deeper
As the sun steadily departs
Oftentimes this exhibition
Has its way with gentle hearts
But all too soon the unseen artist
Sets off to start somewhere again
Yet another epic painting
’Cause here the darkness has crept in
That which was so cinematic
Compelled recognition of us all
Be it glimpses, stares or gazes
For the curtain soon would fall.

Sweet, blissful solitude
A moment an instant
Given, taken
Captured, and caught up
Full with potential
Brimming with promise
Undisrupted by precedent
Selfishly coveted
Sought after
