Patchworks of Fate

Threads fragile, Threads discolored by time,
Wasted away, scattered by the lack of human touch.
Caught in the whirlpool of destiny,
Spin along the curvature of fate.
Gaining hues, getting reunited,
Shaping up, being woven into
what seems like a patchwork unfinished,
Abandoned by the finesse of some lass.
Picked by the Craftsman, Girdled around His fingers,
Bound to His Craftsmanship, giving way to a yarn.
A yarn woven to cover the wilderness
To sheathe the nude
For all that reflects
In this man-made world
Are masks and silhouettes
Attires hiding shame
Apparels covering greed
To project only beauty
That appeals to the eye
The eye that sees the surface
And shuns what is beneath.

SHADOWS

Amidst hollow spaces
Juggles my mind quietly
Playing with my shadows
In a fleeting attempt to catch them
Valleys of solace
Deserts of mystery
Oceans of treasures
Fill those spaces
And I walk through them
A sublime feeling gushes through
Making the spaces hollow again
New valleys, new deserts, new oceans again......!
