The Freedom to Be

I am vulnerable, confused, flawed, twisted
I am what I am.

I don’t want to cook,
don’t want to clean.
I don’t want to be
A wife or a mother.
I choose what I will not be.

I can wear a six yard
or a two piece
I can shun style 
And chose comfort instead.
I decide to look how I feel.

I may soar, I may burrow,
I may sail smooth 
Or dive deep with in
I steer my life as per my wish.

Do not give me names
nor assign roles,
do not set standards 
and place me in boxes.
I am not a commodity. 
You are not the creator.
We are but children of Nature
Unbound by roles,
 Both wild and free.
Let us embrace isness
and create some harmony.

I’m a nobody, until

I’m just a cackling controller 
(sit straight, listen, stop talking)
Until I stop to look into your eyes
It’s the wonder in them which makes me a teacher

I’m just a watching monitor
(settle down, take your things, write neatly)
Until I stop and pay attention to your work
It’s the magic in your hands that make me a teacher 

I’m just a juggling joker
(quick, time up, I have another class)
Until I sit with a sigh and a stretch and a sip(of coffee)
It’s my reflection that makes me a teacher

It’s not what I teach
It’s not what you learn
It’s the bond we share that makes me a teacher
I’m a nobody until you accept and let me into your hearts
I’m not a teacher until You make me one.

Silence

You stop, you slow down
You see, you listen
You are awake
You are alert
You are mindful, creative
When SILENCE enfolds
You become Whole
Silence becomes you
And you the Voice

Motherhood

Smile, Care, Love unconditional,
sacrifice
Mother, so should be

Smiling, Caring, loving, sacrificing,
bearing it all
Mother, so she was

Burdened, ridiculed, caught up 
in tangles,
Struggling to find a way out
Mother v/s I

Thinking, questioning, fighting, 
making her way
Mother in pursuit
Father, brother, sister, mother all can
mother
Mother is not alone
Mother is not just she
Mother is duty, a ritual, a celebration
to share

Here and Now

The woods the sun
                                       The crisp air
                                    You, me, the space
                                         we share
                                A feeling of freedom and 
                                          belonging
                                            Nature
                                         Everlasting
                                            Beauty
                                              We

Lockdown Poem

Trees, I miss them the most
The ones I know
The ones I don't know
I fantasize them
I dream of them
I become them
Trees, I love them the most
