Lilting Melodies Called Poems

As evenings set in,
thoughts in an amorphous
and meandering mind
are trying to take shape.

The day’s happenings —
good, bad, mediocre, surly,
beautiful, unpleasant, ineffable,
failures, successes, anything — all
of them surround it.

There is a sweet rhapsody
at its zenith, resplendent,
urging it to pen down
all its thoughts.

The still meandering mind,
now suffused with an
undeniable charm of this
rhapsody, obliges.

It writes the day’s happenings
and those start turning
into stories forming their
own brilliant threads.

The stories may be
good, bad, mediocre, surly,
beautiful, unpleasant, ineffable,
of failures, successes — anything.
