Being able to say what you want to
without the "voice" at the back
reminding,
someone is sure to get offended.
Putting those words on paper
before she says "lights out".
prose or verse doesn't matter
as long as a part of me, thoughts
and emotions get reflected.
That scene that would make for
images to come back to,
the vision needed to enable
those pictures speak a thousand words.
These tiny dreams are for everyday
to breathe and sustain.
the bigger ones remain elusive
food, water, clothes;
the three basics for all.
throw in some shelter,
a bit of education and some empathy,
sisterhood and peace
to make others dreams come true.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
