Cuckoo's song

by Ram Chandran

from morning
following me everywhere-
this cuckoo's song

a cuckoo's song
answering 
a distant cuckoo's song

banyan tree-
a cuckoo's song lengthens
through aerial roots

cuckoo's songs 
in sync with
monsoon rains

Lines

by Ram Chandran

starlit night
the river flows
towards autumn moon

Lines

by Ram Chandran

the songs of rains-
not alone
in this monsoon night

Lines

by Ram Chandran

star gazing-
I remember 
mom's story for each star   

Lines

by Ram Chandran

except under a lone tree
meadow full of
morning sun

Lines

 by Ram Chandran

drip drip
from the edge of a mango leaf -
moonlight

Lines

by Ram Chandran

like ballet dancers
swim the school of fish...
fishing rod in vain

Lines

by Ram Chandran

morning mist
slowly gathers itself
from the lake side

Lines

by Ram Chandran

morning mist

a flock of herons 
lifts slowly
