Conundrums

Why friends weren't born in the family

And family didn't all turn out to be friends

How laughter and tears are just the same;

Most times, even anger and love!

How people listen, but seldom understand;
But some understand, even if nothing is said.

How words hurt, and silences heal.
But silences gouge, yet words never heal. 

And Life. The biggest of them all.

Seriously on the way to being an absurdity :D

(Un)learn

What takes perhaps
Momentary lapses of time
To learn, adopt and
Make one's own-

Takes an aeon or beyond
To unlearn-
If at all it can be.

Most especially if one carries
The habit, the memory,
The potential
Deep within the cell memory-

Coursing in the vein;
Tunnelled through the
Umbilical cord-
Aeons, generations down.

Learning has always been easy.
And Unlearning just that, the greatest challenge.
Ever.

Adrift

Misty morning 

Mooring undone 

I drift. 

Wondering, wandering 

No pier in sight, and yet 

Yet, 

Breakers sound, in the distance 

As your call. 

Home. Harbour. A safe berth. I am born again.

Nonsensical yet... :)
