As I move on
Leaving
My past
Behind
Letting go
Of
Life’s changing
Roles.
Those who
Cannot
Understand
What
Life is
All about!
Nor unable
To accept
Me as
Who I am!
I move on
To the
Future!
Along the
Path
Of
Freedom
To be
The person
I was born
For!
~Deepa Nilamani~
I know that
I am being
Guided along!
For the
Purpose
I was born!
Sometimes
I hear you
Sometimes
I don’t!
When
I don’t hear you
I start
Wondering!
I know
You do not
Speak in
Words as such!
But that
Messages come
From
All around!
I know
There is
A time for
Everything!
But
Sometimes when
The right time is
Missed!
Things can
Go amiss
In a way
We never thought!
Then the
Question arises
What the
Real meanings are!
Because
The detour was
Never mentioned
In the plan!
Or,
Did the detour
Come to safeguard
The plan?
You are silent!
Is it
Very far
To go?
How do I
Find the
Answers as such!
What
To do next
And when
Is it
Going to be?
~Deepa Nilamani~
In life
Lessons come by
From
The beginning
To the end!
For us
To learn
Overcome
Challenges,
Change and
Move on!
Lessons
Of
Life for us
To learn,
All
That is included
In the
Journey called life!
~Deepa Nilamani~
I started writing
Very small verses
Didn’t think
I would go
Very far!
In to the
Wee hours
In the night
I kept on writing
Until
I was
Half asleep!
Now I find
To my surprise
Two hundred souls
Has liked
My page!
Thank You All
I am most grateful
All of you have
Made me
Happy as can be!

A knock on the door
And
The door burst open!
Two little faces
Appeared,
Like the sun
Through the door!
Grandma we are here
Grandma we want to play
Grandma can we go up!
Two pairs of feet
Running
Up and down
the stairs!
Two pairs of hands
Looking
Out for things!
Two little girls
Jumping
On the bed!
Pillows on the floor
Sheets all crumpled
Otherwise
Neatly made bed!
Squeals of laughter
Echoing around
Just like the wind chimes
Swaying in the wind!
Time to go
Thank you grandma
Love you grandma
Hugs and wet kisses!
Bye bye grandma
The door closes
Silence!
But,
Sounds of laughter
The patter of feet
Still echoing in the house!
Grandma smiled
A happy smile
Settled herself back
In her comfy chair!
~Deepa Nilamani~
It has been raining
Rain drops keep falling
On and on, and on again!
The sun has gone
Behind the clouds
Taking away the
Light with him.
Without the rain
There are no rainbows
Without the sun too
There are no rainbows!
When will the
Sun come out again?
With patience
I wait time and again.
Looking up
High above,
Searching through the
Sky and clouds
Where has all
The colours gone?
I am waiting for
The Rainbow to
Come out
Again!
Lo behold
My waiting
Was rewarded,
It did
Come out
Not one
But
Two appeared!
~Deepa Nilamani~
She walked with him
On his morning walks.
He was talking of the
Sky, the sun and the clouds.
But she was looking
For sticks and stones,
And running behind,
The baby calves!
Looking for fruits and
Flowers of wild.
Filling her pockets
To the brim.
She had her own questions
All of her own,
Which he patiently
Explained to her.
Why is that and why is this?
How is that and how is this?
Maybe childish but always kind
Full of love and tenderness.
Long time since,
He is no more,
A place I really
Like to go back.
With happy and
Sweet memories
Of care free,
Childhood days.
Birth and death,
Is the cycle of life.
We all fall under it
When we are born.
Although,
You left me long ago,
Your spirit has been,
Always around.
It has been,
A very difficult path.
If not for you,
Would not have survived.
My guiding light,
From birth to death,
Even before and beyond,
Life goes on, on and on.
So many doubtful,
Eyes upon me.
You have given back,
My dignity.
I am so thankful
For your gift.
That will help,
So many many more.
I am most blessed,
To have been
Born to you.
With utmost gratitude,
And,
Deep respect,
I worship you!
~Deepa Nilamani~
