Become Like Water

Changes are like water, they drip and drop

In so many shapes and so many forms..

Changes, unnoticed changes

Gradual, not rapid but slow

I never really knew

When and how they seeped

Deep In to my skin

Methinks, I see mirror everyday

Hardly any change

Reflects back in my eyes

But I'm changed

In more ways than I can say

When it happened?

Many times walls in my room

Painted, repainted

Skyscrapers looming around my space

Built from nothing

Mighty tree next door dropped

Heaps of leaves

I've never seen them die out

Always on time

Unheeded, they come and go

When it all happens?

I guess I fail to notice

I wish to become like water

When changes being darted

Along my way

What's in it to notice?

To get it over with

 Swiftly adapt.

You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.
~Bruce Lee

Who Are We, If Not We Talk

Be not afraid; the world is full of noises

Of yours and mine, from time to time!!

Talking, exit means relief, shedding

Of burdens and worries, light felt heart

Voice that comes out, leaves a mark

Pathway for the problems to follow

Then they just ooze out.

Heart seeks what? A congruent heart

That catches skipped beat and skipper

Says too little, next time a little more

Sometimes pushes, sometimes pleads

Adjusts, as shifts the needs.

Verbiage, overflowed this tiny heart

Crazy paving, then there’s highway

Speak, talk-to-me, faces say

Patterns, patterns so many

Public and personal displays.

Why interrupt when one goes on and talks

It’s a sober job to enounce, to rant, to scream

Sometimes, in midst of all this voiced chaos

A mind is freed, for a while at least

Come and go, that are worries.

Who are we, if not we talk

With voice or with quite

We all take this walk.
