Sound of breath

Majestic ocean returning home
On hearing mother’s call
Prepared to be a drop to be on her loving palm.

A child throwing yoyo
Pulling it back
Mother dusting mat with a stick

Ostrich retracts
As storm approaches
Living gulpful at a time.

Curious breeze
Playfully tip-toes in caves
Touching stones and statues.

Honey bee buzzes
Resonating
Unknown strings

Ocean leaves home to play
Sound no more
Silence prolonged.

Inspired by various Pranayama exercises – Bhastrika, Kapalabhati, Bahaya, Bhramari, Pranava, etc.

Wind’s whisper

When the fountain springs,
Lilies bloom.
When the soul moans
Who hears the call?
