All the many layers
I peel back
And still another layer
I peel back
And still another layer
Each a mystery
Each a surprise
Some a shock
Some a delight

Silhouette Clarity
Sometimes
I get caught up in the details
See all the differences
Understand why
It can be so hard to get along
I get caught up in the details
See all the differences
Understand why
It can be so hard to get along
And then
On some glorious sunset evening
I see the world in silhouette
And understand how
We are all the same
Being Home
On the journey home
I began to understand
How much, in that moment
Home was where I wanted to be
I began to understand
How much, in that moment
Home was where I wanted to be
Not for its familiarity
Nor for its comforts
Nor even its dull grey beauty
But for its being
An integral part
Of my being
Absurd ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #74
There is a cow
Standing in a pile of last night’s refuse
Chewing at its breakfast
Of streamers and ribbon
Standing in a pile of last night’s refuse
Chewing at its breakfast
Of streamers and ribbon
In the early, decrepit morning
On the side of a busy, urban road
And no one cares to notice, but me
But that’s India: mad as a hatter
A million times a day
Absurd until it seems normal
Culture Feast
The frame is full
With teeming activity
Colour and humanity
My eye
Cannot find a place to rest
With teeming activity
Colour and humanity
My eye
Cannot find a place to rest
And then it does
But only for a moment
Until something else
Pulls it away
In this visual cacophony
Of a culture traveler’s feast
The Angel
The flotilla of pilgrims and tourists makes its way up the Ganges River, leaving behind the Ganga Aarti, the nightly Worship to Fire ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat, on the riverbank. Our boat passes another, a candlelit vision aboard it.
I Fell in Love
I fell in love
With the vivid colour
With the vivid colour
So I settled in
To setup the shot
When a little girl
Ran through it
So I fell in love
With her too
Short Focus
A family
Arranging a rickshaw
An essential
Every-moment moment
Of India
A million-times-a-day
Moment
Arranging a rickshaw
An essential
Every-moment moment
Of India
A million-times-a-day
Moment
A colourful picture
Beautiful
But the focus
Is a little short
The rickshaws
Are sharp
But the people
Are not
Beauty in Detail
Long have I known
Her beauty from afar
But I have longed
To know her in detail
Her beauty from afar
But I have longed
To know her in detail
