This particle brings moments cathartical

THIS PARTICLE BRINGS MOMENTS CATHARTICAL
By Shreefal Mehta    4 Apr 2020

An unseen particle has brought alive the Neanderthal
When this particle arouses your fear, the best action is to stay put with near and dear
For some the solution is bravado and they must challenge the status quo
Their arrogance or ignorance raises public anxiety, but for the love of all, stay home with great piety.
Staying away is now my affection standing too close can bring affliction
Taking this chance for self reflections, a moment for thinking about the best actions
They say that this tiny unseen particle, brings for humanity a chance cathartical.

One leader’s voice can become our choice
The PM of a billion point four, with voice clear spells hope and more
You are not alone he says with a roar, the symbol of light will make our spirits soar.
Whether you own no cars or four, you have to stay behind that door
The POTUS of a nation at the fore why can he not even read the score
Dividing, seeding doubt, he schools, but does not issue lockdown rules
Heartbreaking to see the result of his waffling, his leadership’s ignorance is truly still baffling.
Is he protecting his image for his own election?  The people have to review their selection.
They say that this tiny unseen particle, brings for humanity a chance cathartical.

Looking through the despair and death Is it time to repay a higher debt?
Do we owe humanity some more love?  Have we polarized the world offering hate in a glove?
The world is always half in dark and light; our thoughts are always a mix of wrong and right
What thought we choose to focus and act; makes a new world emerge that’s a fact;
When we hew and form our views; with what lens we form our fake news,
Sowing discord we mutter and mumble; spreading love not rules; tear asunder
Humanity is called upon itself to distance and isolate; yet coming together we learn is the only way to elevate;
Our minds we must observe each day in lockdown; what attracts what grows love and what brings us down;
What humanity directs will grow out of this; whatever direction we take, let’s not miss.
This unseen particle has given us a chance; to be alone yet learn together how to dance.
They say that this tiny unseen particle, brings for humanity a chance cathartical.

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 ...

Hibernation Transformation

HIBERNATION TRANSFORMATION © Shreefal Mehta  22 April  2020 To hear it read aloud :  https://youtu.be/rIpaIvhYrYc   While spring now germinates, all of humanity now hibernates Day after day twigs and strings, Loving beaks wind into rings, With full belly in her simple nest, eagerly ready going into house arrest Pregnant is humanity with this pause, seemingly wrapped up in TP gauze.;-) We too will emerge in the fullness of summer, not hustle and bustle, with a slow murmur. Never before motionless as one body, Letting earth rest from making it so shoddy! Slowly its turning we feel the earth breathing, robed in grand silence, our absence the cleaning. In the silence as we sit at home and rest, learning and growing would really be best. While around you spring now germinates, you stay home but your mind integrates. Cold ground all is brown quiet under white frost; Underground busy roots, green shoots, no time lost; Humanity seems to ta...
