Inspiration


Somedays its a cup of warm coffee
On others - its a cutting of spicy chai
A brisk walk through crowded grey streets
As an orange sunset wishes the day goodbye

A dear old song on the radio
A warm hug, an unexpected smile
The smell of the earth as she waits for the rains
Running a fast sweaty mile

Woven Baskets with colorful veggies
Soon chopped up into creative lego
Crumbly Corks from old wine bottles
that reek of love from a long time ago

A solitary burning candle
making eyes at the east wind
A frothy bubbled blue bathtub
all eager to be soaked in

My fingers messy with paint
While Van Gogh drenches my soul
A dog eared yellow paged book
where the story is yet to unfold

A life thats filled with romance
in a mundane ordinary way
A heart thats soaked with hope
at the end of every random day

Its hard to find inspiration
if I only look for her inside me
But on days when I let my mind wander
Its impossible for her to avoid me

"Kasturi kundali base,Mrij dhundhe van mahi,
Aise ghati-ghati RAM hain,Duniya dekhe nahi. "

I leave it to you to search it's meaning.

Cheers!!

A deer has the fragrance in itself and runs throughout the forest for finding it. Similarly Ram is everywhere but the world does not see.

WOW
