Silent Sounds!

Surrounded by the silence,
listening to the heartbeats,
wandering in the world around,
wondering about the world that surround,
each heartbeat poses a question,
Answer by the pause in heartbeats,
silence ever so absorbing,
silence ever so fascinating,
silence ever so enchanting,
silence that defines the sound,
demystifying the silence around!!

A small wish!

At the corner turn of Brigade,
Cris-crossed lines of cars,
Old vintage Maruti leading the caravan,
So much honking around,
Cacophony of sorts...

Me! Showing the rush of blood,
Not allowing anyone to get ahead,
Rear view made me look stupid,
Oh fool! You are one minute ahead,
And million steps back...
Now I see an elderly couple in that quivering car.
Rushing to the hospital nearby!!

Words too lame and crippled to describe,
All I wish Now, All I wish now,
God Bless the old men, God bless the old men!
Amen!!
