Green Paddy

Lush green;

I talk to you

I talk to myself

-------------------------------------

I saw your grow,

From seedling to full crop

Time to say good bye

-------------------------------------

Rows of green

Under the blue of sky;

Food to soul

Written for Carpe Diem: “Green Paddy”

Lunch

Hot bowl of curry

I lick the fingers;

And taste you

-------------------------

Layers on layers

I peel the onion;

Nothing but tears

-------------------------

Smell of food in air

Both run to the garbage bin;

The dog wins

a paper lantern in hand

I walk along the verandah

Light throws glimpse of a young smile

Covered in mud, soaked in rain

Sun heat nesting in blue;

Only to hit the cage

Enigma of rain

I stand with my arms open;

My soul is drenched

We sail on ripples

Of a thought

In a quest to grab its shadow
