Fleeting Moments Poem by Madhav Sarkunde

1
Who knows what will
Befall you tomorrow?
So let us seed a plant
Of sesame today

2
Look and behold
At that weaver bird
How nicely it knits
The nest. Tell me,
Can we learn from it
Something?

3
When the nature
Celebrates seasons
Of Fruits and flowers
I no longer stay here
I can’t shun temptation
Of roaming with bees.

4
Take away and keep
These religious texts
With you
Those roaring waves
And toiling labors seem
To tell me something,
I must go there first.

5
Hey! Are you a lens man?
Please take a snap of tears
In my mother’s kind eyes
That will be an only means
To tell me meaning of mercy
After her departure.
