That Call Changed My Life
To my beloved grandma
That call changed my life
Your thoughts, all came in rife
Could not see anything except your face
Seemed like everything had lost its pace
Since the day I began this excursion
Your guard made it full of compassion
Your conduct inspired my character
Your sessions un-wrapped my caliber
That day you were lying with eyes shut
Denying participation in the usual rut
Hurriedly and fearfully took your hand in mine
Surprisingly you opened your eyes with a shine
You smiled like a toddler
Nodded to my tearful blabber
Shivers of divine pleasure prickled my spine
Felt that now everything would be fine
Realized but did not accept that the moment was ephemeral
You had begun your journey that would make you eternal
I was not ready to unchain
But you were not to remain
Life has since not been the same
It feels I live just for the name
That call changed my life
Your thoughts, all came in rife

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
