not turning the calendar Radhamani sarma

 

  • Not turning the calendar

     

    The first whistle of milk boiler,

    The early  bird call in your balcony,

    Dawn’s wisdom rooted in rhythms,

    tune  of sacred  Vedas in  television,

     day to  day act designed in her home;

     

    either  by its own course  ordained,

    or willed by human, tuning  to seek peace

    these  go on undisturbed in her

     household serene, not  a void sure.

    Mind’s pure solace for ages  ancestors’ crave.

     

    Turning her calendar in its  majesty,

    tearing off the page or  previous  pages

    with dates  and notes , dues and rounds,

    her  morning’s must and rapturous norm

    words  beyond expression  now.

     

    One day she missed turning calendar,

    Her mindset with the same month before,

    hence everything was amiss, with all  calculus,

    booking and train re booking, jubilations

    postponed or cancelled  against her class. 

     

    Not after  all  a paper, or papers in order.

    Your order set by, fingers by command,

    Of mind , mood , to have orderly sail,

    Violated if you miss your memory the day;

    Yes  calendars or Seers  going before for us.
