Shades of forever

Fleeting moments
We shared ...
Were placed
In the hands

Of the everlasting One

Why goodbye?
When those moments
Are shades of forever
In His hands.  

Freedom at 69

Let me celebrate the unfurling of tri-colour
With all vigour
Let me stand erect and proud
As Your wings spread against the wind
For a fraction of a second
My eyes gazed at the soil
A reminder each stone my eyes laid upon represent
Injustice and poverty
The sacrifices Your Children made
Propelled me
To look up
To strive
To lessen the stones of injustice and poverty
Scattered all over Your soil
