View From My Window Sill

A simple rainbow, a nice butterfly, sound of rain drops, the symphony of branches playing to the tune of breeze, the site of a flute and the nostalgic memory of a music from your school days, a little card with scribbling of how much you were loved, a lock of hair of your beloved from the college days... now softly felt with tip of your fingers and a smile that speaks volumes, the rhythm of water from a running tap, the smile of your baby in her cradle, a seashell from the beach, the first bud of rose in your garden, a kaleidoscope made of broken bangles and beads, a little fan made of coconut leaves, flash of lightning seen from under the bed through the window, the smell of fresh brewed coffee, a swing on the tree branch, the taste of a homemade pickle, the feel of a moonlit night, a lonely walk through the river bank, a silent journey in a train, a bonfire in winter with dry leaves of trees...

....that wet cloth on your forehead and that caring look in your mothers eyes, the sound of pain and the silence of heart, the joy of love and the sense of life, you and me and many to come, winter and summer and the bliss of spring...

All that and more is life..

... beautiful if lived well...in spite of the "snakes" with its venom, rabbits and roses with its beauty.. all in its orbit of growth.... abhorable or adorable as they might be...
