The mundane…
written by: Dr. MOLLY JOSEPH
Xmas waves
recede
life flows
reverse
through
routine
channels…
a lazy
langour
keeps you
in bed
till
the morning’s
soft caress
turns
piercingly hard…
Life,
I marvel
at thy turns…
busied
footsteps,
hurried
farewells
dashing
vehicles
rushing
to office..
part of
the mundane
left at home
half done
half finished.
the toddler
caught up
in between
whines..
concrete
nested lives
wake up
with a clutter
to ebb and flow
when
morning
thickens….
