Another Page Poem by Tribhuvan Mendiratta

Life is just hushed notes
And electric crackle.
Buzzing neural circuits
Held in shaking hands
A lake of calm
Reflecting in my soul.
A ripple of love quivering
through my limbs.
The light of day
Shh.. hushed notes
Reading and Writing
Into the AM.
Warm kindle glow
Of comforting words.
Ruthlessly disturbed by
Billowing smokes
Criss-cross Train tracks
Waiting to be pulled apart
In the era of air packs
like an eagle
My soul drops down to
Where music plays
symphonies buzz in my ears.
Beating a drum roll
And then
Between pages
My finger taps
A portrait in my mind
And the neural crackle
Synapses of wonder pause
Shut down
There is quiet -
There is love
And stillness
Until I turn the next page.
