Spontaneity
The vibrancy of the rich hued kaleidoscope
Across the firmament,
Wide open eyes ~ a pantomime unexpected
A child’s innocent smile
Free from taint and defilement
Touching its cheeks with a lot of fondness~ an involuntary reaction
An old man’s fragile hand
When stretched,
Penetrating hands into pockets for extending alms ~ an impetuous action
A sudden meet of my teacher on the way
Palms come together and go folded
Making a traditional Namaskar~ an untaught response
When passing by temple
Stop for a while;
Closing eyelids to recall His image~ an effortless doing
The solemn tune of the national anthem
Stop all at once and
Rising to feet to pay respect~ an impulsive gesture
Spontaneity delineates a man’s character
It reveals the real tendency of man
Intuitive and insightful learning,
Selfless love and unprejudiced cogitation
Steer our actions in an agreeable manner
Introspection about our spontaneous actions
Furnish space to learn and examine our traits.
Place : 10th
