Metamorphosis – Caterpillar to butterfly

Rekha Sahay6 Comments

It’s only when caterpillarness is done

that one becomes a butterfly.

That again is part of this paradox.

You cannot rip away caterpillarness.

The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process

of which we have no control.

We’re fascinated by the words.

but where we meet

is in the silence

behind them.

उस रात पूरा  चाँद थोड़ा 

मेरी ओर झुक आया ..

हँसा …..

बोला …..

अब फिर अमावस का अँधेरा मुझे घेरने लगेगा .

पर मैं हार नहीँ मानता कभी .

जल्दी ही पूरा हो कर 

फ़िर आऊँगा …

शब्बा  ख़ैर ! ! ! !
