Life A Fairy Tale

A quiet spring day graced by the cool breeze A perfect ambience to mate pen and paper Lured by the setting I succumbed to a dream A dream that would take me back in time As far as my memory could project A quiet assessment of life thus far in solitude Exposed a beautiful secret A fairy tale brimming with goodness A tale called Life, unfurled to its fullest.

- Gayatri and Ramachandran

Putting on a brave face, the bravest ever Standing on the small bench Reprimanded by a caring teacher For being loquacious in kindergarten class The gloomy little face posing for a group photo Compelled to partake in the customary annual event Hide and seek with the aged grandmother Unrelenting in the game of search A sense of achievement at the top of the guava tree Plucking the luscious ripe fruit Waves of tender reflections... A fairy tale brimming with goodness A tale called Life, unfurled to its fullest.
