It's a simple two letter word
but I never managed it,
and each time I tried
to say it,
I'd trip right over it.
I vividly recall
the number of times
it's landed me in a soup
burnt my fingers
many a time
but never
learnt from it.
Each time I was asked a favor
My inner voice would scream
just go ahead and say it
but I'd numbly nod my bean
I'm wiser now,
I can read that look
from miles and miles away
I brace myself and
look them in the eye
and firmly say, NO!

Let Go!
Trust is a blind leap,
from the known into the unknown
To just close our eyes and let go
Why are we so afraid to do that?
Have you seen children
whizz down a steep slope
with whoops of joy?
Where is that joyous abandonment
of childhood?
Imagination has been ursurped
by delusions of power.
We cling to permanence
in a world, where change
is the only constant.
So just let go,
and allow life to envelop you
in her embrace
There will be no encores
once this show is over.

Autumn is here
Autumn is here, and I celebrate
the quietness it brings.
Spring is the sprighty gait
of my boys, as they run effortlessly
while I walk, a little slower, perhaps?
it's time to sit back and savour
every moment, before the leaves are gone.
What I see is the love and the pain
I see etched in fallen leaves.
Brilliant hued, they flaunt their veins,
their color with pride.
