 Poet – Jotsna Jari

 How many minds are consumed  

 by the fire of thoughts

 Little by little…   

 the suffocating times

 disappeared in a blink of an eye 

Gentle words are in the wind’s ear 

 What do I know

 how doest it change 

On a new day  I walk 

 now all the mysteries are over 

 The kite is tied in it’s own hand 

 with a thread of Latai. 

The wind has stopped

 The unbound mind

 is running after the grasshopper

 This is the little  I want from life.

Incongruity is not in everyday

 Fresh & blooming flowers of the garden 

 are now in the flower pot

 Spring air also in the home 

I will not go anywhere

 Happiness returned 

 with quiet & silent time 

 Yaaa…  this little can be expected.
