In a café
Rich aroma of
Coffee brew
Morning welcome
Happy faces
Flitting newspaper pages
Reads the world story
Over aromatic coffee
Discuss local happenings
Perfect blend of
World with the neighborhood
Over cups of coffee
Animated discussions
Some ideas may
Change the world
Microcosm will fit
Perfectly in the macrocosm
Small world
Can make a difference

Muffled voices
Trying to communicate
The deepest secrets
Eyes engrossed
Soul’s clarity
Reflects true love
Echo of feelings
Sounds like a jingle
Warm embrace
Enraptures the moment
Muffled voices
Speak out in love

A retrospect fit
Modern dilemma
Unanswered questions
A disconnect
With yesterday and today
In between life happens
Vacillating mind
Heart’s left behind
Trying to gather
All the memories
Do not answer the puzzle
Scattered pieces
Unfulfilled spaces
A retrospect life
Soul lives for today
With many questions
Hovering in the mind

We have created paths
Where there were none
Humanity marches on
Roads interconnected
With ambitions
So many crossroads’
Crowd of humanity
Wading though
To reach someone else’s
Destination
Roads shall remain
New crowd will join
Same roads and destinations
It’s time to take
A different route

Face yourself
In front of the mirror
Can you tolerate?
The reflection
Or makes you cringe
In an endeavor
To mask the reality
Another face becomes true
Which may not be you

Pray to the clouds
To shower you with love
Every drop will revive
The parched garden
Collect every drop
With care
See through cascade
Get a glimpse
Of natural beauty
Glowing with pride
Planted seeds of hope
In your heart
Let dreams wake up
And hope take root
Pray to the clouds
To shower you with love
