My Dear One - 30th Anniversary 11Apr2024

On our 30th anniversary

In the middle of the cosmic dance,

Two prancing waves resolved.

Swept away in just a single glance

Two hearts into one dissolved.

Creating gardens of joy and play

Forging dreams in fire and clay

Gardeners, artists, cooks and carpenters

My hands are yours, move hills, grow trees.

Programmers, dancers, thinkers and designers

Your eyes are mine, dissolve doubts in peace

Creating gardens of joy and play

Forging dreams in fire and clay

Merged in the river that pulls planets together

Sharing to grow with much love to share … (and then some more)

The wonder of our dream that there is no other

We are universal as one the ardhanarishwar

Love

And then some more

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...
