Runaway Child


Even after all these years,
I don't know what to do with your memory...
The other day I heard your story once again,
This time from someone else...
There are a lot of mes and a lot of yous,
And I keep making the same mistake...
Tell me how many times must you leave in a hurry,
Before I get back to you in time....
Just once, midway, as you scratch your note...
"I love spring. Spring is pretty,
When she comes, forget me."

What the Shore Said To The Waves


Come as you are, stay as you want, leave if you must...
And if it's okay with you, I will be just here loving you...

My Hopes For You This Year


I hope this year you find you are happy to be living in the present,
You get enough hours of sleep,
And discover a new dish that is exceptionally tasty,
I hope this new dish turns out to be healthy,
And goes on to become your winning recipe.
I hope this year, you find your family worth celebrating,
And your friends, refreshing.
And that every time your days cloud over, you know it is only a matter of time before skies clear...
I hope this year, you learn to forgive humans for being humans,
And find yourself no longer "in waiting", for whatever it might be...
I hope this year brings you new music,
And the song that gets stuck in your head, is still groovy replaying.
I hope this year you find your job pleasant,
And routine, less trying.
That whenever you decide to try something new...it ends in a delightful surprise.
I hope this year you decide to try something new...
I hope this year you argue over clothes and TV shows,
And that newspapers are boring accounts of scientific advancements and clean-up drives.
I hope this year you find...you are you, and who you always wanted to be.
And most importantly, I hope this year...you find yourself loved and in love, 
And grateful for the experience of both.
Wish you love and luck,
And a great new year.
