cool breeze  -
 again the dark clouds
pass without rain

earthquake -
an incense stick burns
near the broken idol

fireflies
around my mother’s cot -
dark night

moonbow...
in a grain of wheat
a farmer's song

easterlies...
the happy song of a hill belle
in an apple orchard

summer night -
the shine of spangles
on gran's fringed hand fan

sunrise -
a spider weaves a new web
on the old crevice

spring breeze...
children catch puppet shadows
on the wall

homecoming -
an empty chair gathers dust
at the entrance

cold breeze -
the rosy hue of sunset
on father’s spectacles

summer sea…
the silver sands come home
with my feet

evensong…
trampled flowers cover
the temple path

lilacs in bloom…
a sparrow answers 
the old man’s call

ripening mangoes -
the nightingale’s song
sweeter than ever

moonlit night -
a scarecrow's outstretched arm
beckons me

constant rain -
the trees descend deep
into water

village pond -
the dance of temple lights
to a frog’s song

grandma’s portrait -
the journey of a hundred years
etched on the face

first day at school -
the little girl brings raindrops
home on her satchel

onset of autumn -
the notes of a flute
with the rustle of leaves

sunset -
the moon behind the rosy clouds
a shade whiter

december morning –
catching the rising smoke
with little hands

hot summer noon
a butterfly fans the flowers
with its wings

caravan -
footprints and dust
left behind

lawn sprinkler -
the birds hop
in circular rain

warm breeze -
  my dead mother's photo
in father's prayer book

white rose -
the gardener's crooked nail
peeps through his shoe

clear skies -
moonbeams twinkle
on the sea waves

incessant rain –
a dusty sparrow adjusting feathers
with its beak
