What Will You Eat? – Kaushal Kishore

 

At the bus stand, I sat alone and read,

Waiting for my ride, lost in thought indeed…

A young girl approached, with pens in hand,

Offering four for ten rupees, her hunger to withstand…

.

Her brother by her side, a small boy with eyes so wide,

She asked me to buy, with a heart full of pride…

I declined, but offered my biscuits instead,

Taking out two packets from my bag, a small deed…

.

To my surprise, she returned one with a grin,

“We’ll share one, Babu ji, that’s enough to begin…”

Amazed, I urged her, “Take both, it’s fine,”

But her response moved this heart of mine…

.

“Then what will you eat?” she queried with care,

Her words, profound, left my soul laid bare…

Her selfless act shook my soul, a lesson to learn,

In a world where greed reigns, her humanity did burn…

.

She taught me contentment, to take only my share,

Leaving enough for others, showing we care…

Millions may earn billions, but lose their way,

This hungry child showed me a brighter day…

.

Her question still echoes, “What will you eat?”

A reminder to be mindful, to treat others sweet…

In a world that forgets humanity, she stood tall,

A young girl with pens in hand, teaching me it all…

.

The Rapture of a Lovely Day | From Behind the Pen

“Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream.”

— Debby Boone

The Rapture of Love

Over my head, I hear music
the soul of every melody, every note, every heartbeat
in diverse layers of voices that become as one;
when I allow them to enter into me
to engulf every chasm of my being
that pours through every open window
and crosses every threshold
like little lightning strikes of thunderous applause;
I am them, and they are me
and together, we are united in the rapture of love.

The seeds of change blossom where they are, and magnify in a kaleidoscope of brilliance touching everything in its path.
