A billion point four in My Neghborhood - Day one of the India lockdown COVID-19

THEY WERE A BILLLION POINT FOUR

By Shreefal Mehta. 25 Mar 2020

They were a billion point four

Or so, who’s keeping score?

Seven hundred million arguments or more

Travelling on the same path; but right not left, left not right.
Still carrying the same past, creed and caste, black and white

Me before You, Us before them

Look up Look down, Lock down Lockdown!

Billion point four no more going out

All together breathe in breathe out

Look up look down look all around

Who are you? My family and my brood

My help, my ‘hood and yes my mood.

All together now breathe in breathe out

Billion point four in my neighborhood!!

Air is clear – peace is dear

Can’t go out. Time to go in….

Watch the food!! Spark a good mood..

Games within games. Don’t call them no names…

Healthy body and healthy mind…

Oh, go ahead, I don’t mind…

All is clear, life is dear.

Mind is a bird, have no fear

Billion point four - act one for more

I’m human I am you man!

It’s you AND me, us AND them

All together breathe in breathe out.

Anticipation Moment

Anticipation Moment by Shreefal Mehta 31 Dec 2024 To listen, click here: https://youtube.com/shorts/jeOLFxDFUbc? Can you anticipate without anxiety? Like birds, on winds gentle, ride, wings stretched out, let thoughts glide. Are you eager without expectation? Circling in thermals they slowly rise, let the fragrance of ideas mesmerize Are you excited without hastiness? Hovering, hovering, now swooping, enjoy the scene just now forming. Eager, awaiting, excited, taste the moment. In the eye of the storm, I’m vividly awake; let thoughts circle; ‘tis the ring I take. Only the moment lives with fullness complete. Years months weeks count in days Many hours or minutes, all is just a haze Happy new year as fireworks flash and bells atoll. In each moment is the seed of eons, new and old At the stroke of midnight, the year past and new, lo behold! Hurtling through black space an inch at a moment… As I look down at the earth bel...

A feeling of Japan

30 Nov 2025 Slow flapping of the wings unfolds elegant shapes Light feathers lift sure muscles with steady power Grace and power take flight from water to air Trail of a wake radiates over the smooth surface Leaving behind again the silence between words Fringed by trees that proud stand in a colorful palette Red, green and yellow leaves arrayed perfectly scattered And boughs that bow to the water, try to kiss their shadows And then some stand shaped like dancing buildings Twisting trunks that give out flat green layered terraces And among them is the stone, rough-cut and weather-smoothed As though cooll-ly impervious to its presence in the scene serene Wizened sculpted trunks with delicately fringed red leaves Water bounces happily to settle into calm serene reflecting ponds Steady gravitas as rock and patterned pebbles hold the mind’s eye All dotted with bold colors of flowers blue yellow and perfect That show up surprised and smiling coyly As though the adoring eye...

A Walk In The Autumn Woods

by Shreefal Mehta Oct 2025 Jackets stayed home, boxed along with thoughts of winter. The forest feels open, airy, and somehow lighter After the hot and heavy broad leafy growth of summer. Light-leaved branches invite the sun to pour in as through an open door Now bathing the moss and rust-leaved forest floor, all in shade before. Yellow, orange red splatters covering the brown rustling carpeted floor Each leaf grown on its own high twig; and then fallen, perfectly in place The wind, in which it once swayed, gently carried it down through space. Once high pristine green, from canopy to carpet, still gracing patterns that interlace. Every leaf unfurls its role fully, even as the leaf now lies. Abundant growth now fallen in patterns, to human eyes, delight give. Like the leaf, observed or not, with total trust, in lows or highs, Unknowing greater patterns, yet secure in each moment, fully live. Tiny flowers rise ...
