KARMA

On forlorn shores I stood staring

Remembering the memories of bygone days

The bewildering gaze,

The triumphant ways…

Where have they escaped to?

I wonder, sometimes…

In fact, a lot of times!

These years have rolled on seamlessly

Times you looked at the sky, times you stared at the fruits

Times when every little leaf was a delight for your eyes

Picking up unimportant strands of strangest things from the road,

A reason to walk with a song on toward!

Now the stranger lurks beneath the garb

Watchful of every…His and hisses

Looking at life with distaste

He casts a shadow along the pathway of waste.

The bewilderment is still at large

It paints a picture loud, but stark

With arrows that pierce the heart

The simple humming of a sky Lark

Notwithstanding these are shadow talks

Little they add to enjoy the walks…

And, somewhere a voice still balks

Of stares filled with raging mocks

Coiled up in the cocooned shell

A crab falls and then gets up well

His only continuous moves

Are to be ahead of his grooves

With claws intact, it swirled the pave

A thin crust of bread it craved

Alas, the bread was stolen straight

By the mighty Eagle out to slay

The Eagle missed the crab by choice

It sought for something in turquoise

The bread crumb was covered in it

The residues of Potassium Permaganit

It gobbled it in one single gulp

Straight through its piped pulp

The potent mix took its turn

The Eagle had the pain borne

Dropped dead from far above

Straight to the crab’s love

He thought the treat will be good

Every nibble will be best understood

And nature played its game quite well

That shouldn't surprise, nature’s known to swell

With mighty leaps and subtle moves

Time travels in caressed grooves

Karma – She’s a double edged sword

Never will she let anyone be forgot

Her reach reaches in to realms unknown

The cosmos churns from her ethereal curls.
