Neena Singh: Text
in deepening cold
bare trees raise arms
and await renewal…
when the call comes
will I too touch the sky
on a cloud carpet
as if in meditation
serene mountain peaks...
faraway a villager dreams
of the gentle patter of rain
tonight
weaving blooms of jasmine
under this new moon
and indigo sky
I await you
autumn rain...
rises from the earth
scent of musk
fills my heart with longing
a thornbird's song of pain.
chanting
prayers aloud
the koel’s song
reaching heavenward
cloud after cloud
