Girl, Boy, Flower, Bicycle – M.K. Joseph

This girl
waits at the corner for
This boy
Freewheeling on his bicycle.

She holds
A flower in her hand
A gold flower
In her hands she holds
The sun.

With power between his thighs
The boy
Comes smiling to her
He rides
A bicycle that glitters like
The wind.

This boy this girl
They walk
In step with the wind
Arm in arm
They climb the level street
To where
Laid on the glittering handlebars
The flower
Is round and shining as
The sun.

Celebrations of Life

Look to this day: For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendour of achievement are but experiences of time.

For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision; And today well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day; Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!

~~ Kalidasa
