The Walk of Life

This lush photograph was taken by me in April 2019 during a walk in front of the Hyatt House in Parsippany, New Jersey. It is a reminder of how things have changed in the past one year. The office I was visiting in that locality has closed it’s physical presence.

Had it not been for the pandemic, I could have revisited this beautiful location in April 2020. The plan, the trip, did not materialize as meetings embraced a digital avatar. Looking back, this photograph and the words are a reminder to take that walk, enjoy that beauty, have gratitude for the good things, and most importantly capture the moments.

Insanity

Hide the madness
In glowing eyes
Let them think it’s joy
Or pleasure clandestine
Let none know
The passion that flows
In your dark veins
And the mind plays games
Shuffling between sanity
And insanity that thrives
In your deepest core

Enabler

The unending scar smirks
Remnants of a battle
Where, I, the enabler
Stoked hatred and anger
Unleashed on me in nights
Black as your soul
Or, may be, I was the dark one
Living, loving the misery
Staying on, when I should
Have been long gone!
