To A Silent Night.



Something woke me,

A moon beam shines outside my window.

A silent night that but spoke to me in whispers.

My heart was heavy with him like the shadow of silence.


Night,how could you be so silent?

When I cry in pain,with my precious lost forever?

Forever is but a name for loss.

For whatever you hold does go through your grasp.


The grasp is never firm and one would not know,

How does one let go,of things held in embrace.

This is no lesson learnt,but is taught,

By the master teacher,the silent night.


So do not chatter with your mind,

Let go,let go of everything,

For then you have satsfaction ,

For holding only for a while this silent night.

Jayamala.

A Little Concern.


I went for a condolence today.Parents in next street had lost their grown up son due to fungus infection in lungs at a hospital that is well known.How fungus infection?He had been admitted immedietely on pain and is in crisis by that night itself.Actually the father had been asked by the son himself to go as he felt o.k.The father returned and again took the journey with the mother same night at 3.30.Actually next day early morning.By the week end boy is no more.Could not the doctor's do anything?Was there some thing more concealed to us neighbours?I do not know.It gave me a sleepless night.The parents had returned bringing the daughter-in-law and the 3 year old kid yesterday.I saw lights in their house visible when viewed from my house and went to see them today.I had been totally upset.

I feel there is something wrong with this sort of loss.God! Is there a God?Old age and how many more years to go by?What emptiness in life.

Jayamala.
