Yesterday

Two days cut from the same cloth,
Touch the same shore, but leave a different froth.
It was tough for me not for the calendar,
For today I have the odour of carrion, yesterday I smelt like lavender.
The moon was the assailant,
Is quiet today, what yesterday couldn’t be silent.
It is just a matter of minutes,
The soul is free today, yesterday it knew its limits.
A new date on the universe is embossed,
Is replenished today, what yesterday was lost.
Exact is the force of gravity,
Is relic today, what yesterday was reality.
The twelve digits on the clock are the same,
Is christened today, yesterday what had no name.
The same sun rose today,
But the dawn has lost what it had yesterday.

My Bare Feet

Bare feet I walk out of the dirty water,
Soaked in mud, I'm the earth's daughter.
I walk steadily; I'm in no haste,
For every moment that
I extracted from life I have to taste.
I walk with no destination in mind,
In this path, solace I hope to Find.
I walk with my future in my hand,
As the sea washes my footprints on the sand.
I walk with my head held high,
My eyes sparkle, my valour does it signify.
I walk till eternity,
As I carry myself with sanctitude and dignity.
Searching for a place where love and sorrow meet,
I walk bare feet.
