Transcending Transitions..

Transcending Transitions.
--------------------------------------------

Joy is like the chewing gum

That takes its inevitable exit,

When the chewing aches the jaws;

Pain is at times, the prick of a pin.

Doubling up often,as the hit of a hammer.

When hopes rise moderately,

They are like the parapet walls, 

Bigger ones grow like huge,gated walls,
To be razed down by seismic despair. 

Love passes through the mind like breeze,

Only to create successive blows of storms.

Friendship is both the credit and debit sides,

Of the same swiping card.

Parents who are strong pillars,

Transform into stumbling blocks.

Children bound as pillows and blankets,

Become hardened pieces of stones,

By their own battering process of growing up.

Siblings fight and fondle or fondle and fight,

Striking a balance between scenes and their sequence.

Even spouses caress each other to create tunes of love,

To let musical notes glide, from symphony to cacophony.

The statues at the shrines are seen as Gods,

Or as shining carved and painted images;

The halo of gods turns as a hollow myth,

Matching the mood of prayer and its base.

Transitions like agile and aerobic acrobats, 

Transcend the rough terrains of permanence.
