Todays post is a reading of Human Time, written by Atul Ranchod… Amazing piece that captured my attention and won a semifinalist position in a national poetry contest.
Thank you, Atul, for granting me the privilege of making this recording…

Given such luster,
From the very edge
To the inner core,
Bright zealous zest
To subtle softness,
Dichotomy pure.
Such floral
Beauties, accepted
In awe.
Why then
Do I, fight
My diversities galore?
Maker the same
From me to
My eden of flora.
Then let me too
Accept
My changing form
And turbulent times,
Staying true
As the flower to its
Fragrance, and I
To my inner Divine.

‘Indian wants the Bronx’ play from 1967!!
Don’t know if you have heard of this play.. See link.. Al Pacino was in the early production…
It’s about Racism and politically hot, apt for today’s issues..

Slow churn
Twist and turn
Rumble and roll
Then deeper still
Growl and groan
What kind of hunger
Speaks this way
Gnawing and nibbling
Never at bay
And incessantly stays
No food can satiate
No destination can appease
No feeling can deflate
No intelligence can defeat
So I return within
Claiming my peace
As all attentions
Gather in one place
Here it is
The fountain of All
Pouring and cascading
Just waiting to be found
Questions and answers
All merge into one
What magic then
If scaled somewhat larger
That all our hungers
Our questions, our answers
All too reside, right here together
On this here planet
We can call home…
Unarguably
Spirit vibrantly shines bright
Youthfulness no loss
Hurt with cuts and bruises,
I don’t doubt
Ointment and balm
You’d bring.
Chapped lips
And matted hair,
Bathe and comfort
You would plead.
If I’m really
To be seen,
Not matter my exterior
Love me for my interior.
Cast away the images
Prim, proper and pretty;
Embrace my essence
And let me claim my presence.
