My Mind Sings

Here There And Everywhere

I am here at the height of

Noon

You are there in spite of the

Dhun

You and I are everywhere

Where the Sun and Moon meet

I am there and you are

Here where we have a

Fling together

You are there and I am

There where the great

Night stars are on the

Show

You and I are everywhere

With the Leo and Gemini

Together

I am here the Sagittarius

Awaiting the fine day

When the Taurus flies down

I am here and you are there

This I dedicate to you my

Dear Husband Vinay

Vin And Vinay And Nayan

Vin and Vinay go hand in hand

Vin Vinay plays a flute in the Band

Vin Vinay that has a handful of sweet jasmine buds

Vin Vinay that has a great smile of a babe

Vin Vinay has the heart of Gold

Vin Vinay quietly has the last say in a row

Vin Vinay has a great sense of humour

Vin Vinay has a pocketful of pranks

That brings laughter to the floor

Vin Vinay has the words of an author

Vin Vinay has the sight of a fighter

Vin Vinay has the Nayan of the lotus flower

Vin Vinay has the Nayan of a mischievous child

Vin Vinay has the Nayan of a speeding star

Vin Vinay has the Nayan

That sang the songs of love hand in hand

This is just a way to show my children and grandchildren to see the world with their own eyes and other people’s eyes around them.

To understand and so make their own version and understanding clear.

Sunshine – Moonshine

Here the sun shines as high as might

The moon shines as cool as sight

Here the sun is yellow as pellow

The moon has a blue hew as a bellow

Here the sun is bright as the fire round the ring

The moon is calm and cool as the heavenly song that sings.

Words from Chimaya Udghosh:

Every action is imperfect and with imperfect lie sorrows. Look straight into the eyes of the problem with a smile on the lips, a smile has the strength to cope with a thousand problems.

Hews of Grass

The green green hew of grass

The sea arisen dew

Down the morning grass

As a carpet of dew

Here we are bound to

The green green hew

The sea green dew.

Life’s Roundabout

Round the roundabout of life

One turns right the other turns left

One turns straight

One turns back along the roundabout of life

Lost in the swaying

Garden of the round

No beginning no end

Goodnight

Sleep the baby through the night

Rock to sleep till the sleep is out of sight

The songs of life are sung as a psalm

On the onward bound sleep all through the night

Hearing the psalm of life

One bellows out all
