Birdcage

Birdcage

The little cage swings under the morning sky,
Inside, a bird sings with gentle cry.

Golden rays touch the iron frame,
Freedom outside whispers its name.

Soft feathers flutter against the bars,
Dreams travel far beyond the stars.

A child gazes with hopeful delight,
Hears the melody glowing bright.

Still the heart longs for open flight,
Fields and forests bathed in light.

Silence waits when the song is gone,
Echoes remain though the bird flies on.

The Colors of India – A Springtime Journey"

The Colors of India – A Springtime Journey" With Vishu Kani's gentle light, a new day dawns bright, Fruits and flowers fill the home, hearts dancing in delight. Golden sun over green fields brings blessings anew, Families gather with joy and love shining through. A new year begins, peaceful and true. In Tamil homes, feasts served on leaves so fine, Kolams bloom like stars, in festive design. With Kaveri’s flow, hearts brim with grace, Traditions and smiles lighting every face. A spring of joy in every place. In Odisha, sweet drinks bring a cooling cheer, As Sankranti whispers, “peace is near.” New sun rises with soulful gleam, Cleansing hearts like a gentle stream. Earth and spirit in a sacred dream. "Shubho Nobo Borsho!" rings the Bengali song, With rosogollas sweet and ties strong. New books open, past sorrows close, In melody and art, joy freely flows. A fresh year blooms like a rose. In Manipur, spring winds softly play, Sajibu’s call starts a bright new day. Wor...

Lonely Thoughts – 58 & 59

Lonely Thoughts – 58 Many wish for life to stay long, Counting years as they walk along. But few seek days filled with grace, With meaning shining in every place. A heart that loves, a soul that sees, Kindness flowing like the breeze. Not just breathing, but truly awake, Giving more than we ever take. Moments lived with joy and care, Smiles we offer, burdens we share. Time may fly or slowly bend, But purpose makes it worth the end. GR kaviyoor  30 05 2025 Lonely Thoughts – 59 No matter who mocks you, stay kind, Even if they leave you far behind. When they hurt you without a care, Still choose love, be strong and fair. If sorrow comes like stormy rain, And fills your heart with silent pain, Don’t let anger take its place, Show the world a gentle face. Forgive again, and once more still, Let your heart reflect God’s will. For those who forgive, He stands near— Their path is blessed, their soul is clear. GR kaviyoor  02 06 2025

The Soul of a Home

The Soul of a Home A home is not just a structure of bricks and stone, It breathes — not with air, but with a soul of its own. Each wall has a heartbeat hidden inside, Each sound echoes where memories reside. Laughter and tears are never small, The sleepless memories don't rest at all. In the warmth of tea and midnight air, Silent memories hum their prayer. Time has left its marks on doors, Steps remember moments from before. The kitchen still holds the scent of the past, Moments return — quiet, but steadfast. Even when opened, it holds an unread silence, Yet within, flows a melody’s cadence. The windows weep, the garden sighs, Lonely nights sing love that never dies. The body ages, bends with time’s tide, But the heart holds firm on the inside. New laughter may light up the day, Yet old faith never fades away. This is no house — it is a being alone, The silent witness to bonds long grown. Life circles here, never strays too far, Enduring all — as evening's quiet star. GR kaviy...
