Krishnamurthy Panchapakesan

Hanging on a precipice
That overlooks deep valley
Holding on to a shaky stone
Or the hand that may yield!
...

Thee infinite canvas!
Artists' jealousy!
Ever changing
Different colours
...

Wonder why you zillions of tissues make me up
Day in and day out working incessantly
Without reward or expectation
Bearing the pain without complaining
...

This moment:
Somebody is born,
Somebody breathes last,
I am still alive and kicking.
...

Oh Mind
Be free!
From the Hangovers of the past
From the Daydreamings about the future
...

One by one!
Or enmasse.
Sure! Everyone.
Don't know when,
...

Day after day
Frittered away

Missed the sun rise
...

Little acts of kindness
A smile that costs nothing
Help even when unsolicited
Fearless when intimidated
...
