Mind You, My Friends And All...! Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

mind you, my friends and all..!

&

mind you,

my friends and well-wishers-

i am absolutely not arrogant

when i politely say-

all my thoughts,

indeed everyone of them,

walk on the ramp of my mind

in graceful style

clothed in simplicity

radiating the confidence of truth-

i never dress them up

i sweat not for words

in the jungle of dictionaries-

everything falls in place

as the dew pearls on a wintry night

settling over the palm

of the meditating leaves-

yes i do dance on the keyboard

with my forefinger with effortless ease-

i do reemphasize

'this is not out of my haughtiness;

this is really and trully

what i experience in these golden days

of my listless life so far

on my lonesome journey.'

yes, i enjoy these moments

in childlike revelry amidst the clouds!
