The Spirit Soars

The rumble of distant thunder
The symphony of raindrops on awning
A flash of lightning
The spirit
Soars

Ready To Launch

Hot, bright, sunny noon
Two mynahs on the tarmac
Watching, alert, sensing
One flew off, suddenly
The other
Tensed
Alert
Ready for launch

It is Beautiful..

It is just half past midnite now 
Outside, it is very quiet
The haze seems to be clearing
Time to go sleep
But I love to linger
Night or is it nascent morning?
Is beautiful

Are We Creatures Of Habit?

Had dinner at a neighbourhood mamak shop
The usual fried rice
Read the papers to catch up with the news
Are we creatures of habit

Or Is It?

Sitting in meditation deep in the silence of early morning
The songs of crickets in the dark
The sounds of distant traffic
The hums of air-cons running
Slowly, slowly
The mind settling, settling
Slowly, slowly
Quieter and quieter
Or is it?

Now If You Meet Buddha On The Way...

Enjoying a steaming cuppa of Indocafe, Danone crackers at hand.
Uefa Euro 2012
Q-finals
Portugal goes to war with Czechoslovakia
22 men chasing after a 'guided' missile
One man in black chasing after the 22, flashing yellow and red
Two blind mice at the flanks
Another two near-sighted MIB at the goal lines
60,000 painted warriors at the stands
Young, old and babes-in arms

Was God Thinking Of Rice?

Eating rice, I was thinking...

Men shall not live by bread alone

What was god thinking?

Gossip And The Sound Of One Hand Clapping

I closed my eyes to catch forty winks.

And I heard the sound of one hand clapping.

What's that?

Well, have you heard of gossip?
