Seeking the grey...

The latest Camera Critters post from blogger friend Magiceye's Mumbai blog.

Green lifestyles yield harmony.

At the end of the day, despite differences, we all enjoy the same branch and same tree.

While the
Bollywoodian
parrots, parakeets,
kingfishers, and orioles,
pretend,
to enjoy
a Page-3 world,
with a
haughty toss
of their hi-fi feathers,
the
very middle class
but gracefully simple
folks
of the
black-and-white-cinema days,
minding their own business,
realize,
that
their supporting branches
amidst
the peaceful green
are always
a
Mandelian grey....

Colored minds

It takes all kinds and all colors. To mix.

Sometimes, you need to add a little heat to stir things up.

Life's like that . In societies with colored minds.


She falls
like instant coffee
in a glass
of milk;
normal
cold
room temperature milk;

The stirrings
of
fate and destiny,
try mixing,
and dissolving,
but
despite
the creative spoon
the
milk hesitates
in acceptance.....

Does it need
a
fire to be lit
below,
so that
the lactazed
crazed molecules,
go wild
in brownian motion,
and
in this shakeup
of
the milky white society,
accept
the coffee granules
as their own ?

To make,
not too late,
a delicious,
Café Latte
in their lives..?

Shady learning

(photo by Sylvia Kirkwood)


The same woods,
the same tree,
the same leaves
mingling with each other,
sometimes
like kids, in groups,
sometimes,
like older adults,
sedate,
posing on a branch.

Some are green,
some appear light,
some dark.
They mingle
shrugging off
the opinionated dewdrops,
facing up
to a new morning
behind
a tough looking trunk
of
some tall leader.

The light, dark and green
transforms
into one another
in fun
cocking a snook at the sun.

We must be the only species
that talks about
color
and
race.
