LARGER THAN LIFE

Having larger than life dreams in eyes

Enclosing world in diminutive fists

Falling on ground

Trying to float in air without wings

Striving to get up

Looking around

Whether anybody watching

Feeling ashamed on fall

Crushing sigh, tolerating pain

Swinging, swaying on trees

Laughing abundantly

Playing with flour balls sitting in mother's lap

Falling asleep under starlit sky

While listening

To

The stories of moon and stars

Losing self in lap of nap till dawn

Clinging to mother escaping fear of dark

Losing self in fragrance of flowers

Seeking excuse just to catch glimpse of each other

On one side so much persistence

And

In that obstinacy not realising

Messenger becoming intense intractable

Precisely the reason

The silly mind neither understands

Nor knows anything else

But

Recollects union not separation

Recollects trust and not distrust!
