the eyes of a cat,
the eyes during a smile,
the swollen eyes when crying,
the eyes when taking a sneak at a thing,
the eyes longing for a sight,
children’s innocent eyes,
the adult eyes,
aged eyes,
the eyes of a lover,
poor’s eyes,
eyes of the rich,
that curious eyes,
sleep deprived eyes,
confused eyes,
observant eyes
eyes always tell a story
of a faith, hope, acceptance & lot more
admire them by diving in..
Someone crossed our path like no one else has ever did
No matter how often the sand veils the trail
The dune has to shift
Leaving behind the creatures print that once walked
When the imagined image fades
The real person appears
Eyes searching in another for a life once lived
A life more beautiful when two were one
The future holds its breath in the turning seasons
And winter, quiet and unsure
Shows the path ahead
Lit only by a halogen light
Yellow light will bring the brightness in path
When the switch is on.
There is some beauty in dates. After 4 cancelled online deliveries, I finally received a dater. And, this is where my hands go blue.
Reading with physical book is a joy. The feel of physical pages, the smell of dated paper, the matt touch, the feeling of existence of compiled pages in front of eyes.
But..
Sometimes it makes me sleepy, makes hand cramp, increase weight in bag, and consume space.
So, tried to move my stakes to eBook reader.
Earlier, I used to be a lazy reader, could take enough time, okay- long enough to complete a single book. I used to give excuses to not read despite having enough time to survive a book. Eventually after struggling with everything odd, being able to reach the finish line of a book. But for starting an another marathon of reading(new book), I got stuck again in my loop.
Then one day, I got my hands on magical dose ie. eBook Reader, which provides me motivation and strength to move forward and finish the book fast. Here, I can’t see with my eyes and feel in my hand, the enormous stack of pages (I can see the page count at bottom but don’t feel the heaviness in hands – you know what I mean). The unknown factor somehow changes everything.
I have been using ebook for a while now, and it has been an amazing experience. At first, I thought it is not for me but as I sustain using it, it feels light to both heart and mind.
One summer evening, I went to my terrace to observe the blue sky with beautiful clouds. A baby mango covered in dark green leaves just saw me like it was looking for me, because I have seen her when she was just a flower. A corner of my eye just catches the view of baby mango. Our eyes just met like a river meets an ocean.
My heart ask her, is everything going good?
Mango replied, it just feels better. I am growing and want to become an adult just like another mango on adjacent tree.
Then suddenly, a noise arrives from the sky with a thunderous roar; the sound reaches the ground before the lightning (basic science principle). A few droplets fall gently onto my hand, and soon, many more descend from the sky, touching the earth and finally reaching that aspiring mango.
I catch myself thinking at a thought, “We all want to be adults, until we are”.
