Day


In this mid-day wintry afternoon
I can hear the sweet chirping of birds
The roaming and buzzing of the golden fireflies, 
Multi-coloured butterflies and grasshoppers

I can see the lonely trees standing tall like statues and giving us shelter
I can see the clear blue sky
The blackbirds flying and enjoying freedom
The green meadows on the countryside
The eagles echoing throughout like a brave and wise king 

The treehouse upon the hill creates a wide stretch of mystery , suspense and a sort of adventurous thrill 
It feels my heart with happiness 
If the introduction of a day is so visually delightful that it leaves us mesmerized
I wonder what will be the impact of the conclusion ?

Sense of Belongingness

    Sense of Belongingness within ourselves is quite natural in this elixir of life; as we tend to cling on to our chosen one's.  That ray of hope drives us to move ahead in life. The very fact that we all are ultimately 'self 'as we come alone and depart alone makes us harder to think as we are living in this temporal illusory world that projects our very situational phases .  It's like a humane maze...Interdependence within dependence .  Paradoxically speaking, we tend to be independent whereas in actuality we can never be fully independent in this world as God's creation was humans ,not robots.  We have to cling on . We have to belong to someone in order to be independent. In this somewhat daily chaotic course of events of our life we are somehow dependent on others for some or the other reason.  We 'belonged' in the past, we 'belong' in the present and will leave a trace of 'belongingness' in the future.  However, it's true that our ...

Nostalgia

I miss you every single day I miss you every single moment Without you my life's incomplete. The breaking dawn welcomes a new day Sunshine in the morning gives an eternal bliss. The cold breeze, the sweet chirping of birds somehow pleases my inner soul. Far away I see the clock tower, the old mystic abbeys It is reminiscent of my good old happy-go-lucky school days Today after twenty long years, I pass through the streets of  Little Valley High School, I still hear the alarm bell, The hymns, chants, incantation and prayers in Church hall; The cacophony of the students makes me feel nostalgic... I am amazed to see the adjacent alley which was once ours' hidden secret rendezvous Memory never fades never transforms It  remains afresh and new in our mind's gallery.                                                  Arunita Lahiry

An October Morning

Thought of publishing my poem, which got me into first position in the writing challenge that was held in the year 2021, by The Unheard Stories Writing Community An October Morning   Summer is gone    Fall is here.  Awakened by Nature's spell , The leafy cacophony in the gloomy woods; This beautiful blue-skied October morning,   I witnessed a brilliant serenity....  The welcoming of cold winters,  Oh! How Nature in itself is a magnificent bliss; I sit taciturn...  The calming onset of seasons,  The fallen leaves making the trees almost bare and decayed Yet the trees stand tall and give warmth of life in this leafy bedlam.  Nature calls upon us ; Let bygones be bygones  Let us shed all anxieties and fears,  Let us enjoy the journey of life.  As Nature has always been a giver,  Nature has always been a giver.  Betwixt the daily musings and work,  The sweet chirping of birds adjoining the...
