Homecoming

a poem by Jayati

Delightful Meetings

Autumn showers
Beckon rhythms
Rain and thunder
Dancing winds
Patchwork clouds
Stitched across sky
Sunny smiles
Buoyantly flies.

Hide and seek
Noisy children
Boisterous buoy
Dreamy influences.
Beat of drums
Conjure visions.
Early day’s store
Trace reminiscence.

Customary norm
Homecoming ritual
Numinous image
Of Bengali convention
A trip every year in anticipation
Ma Durga visits her mother in reunion.
Give and take, exchange smiles, greetings.
Attain festive celebrations, delightful meetings.
