On this day of Onam
2015 August 28, Friday
In Kerala, land of Mahabali
Prosperity of ages gone is celebrated.
Be it really a commemoration
Of days gone by of plenty, peace
Of good rule and governance
So absent today... in Kerala.
Pretending that all is well
When much is not well
Suffering in silence the decay
Seemingly devoid of any reason.
Yet we must accept the unfailing turn
Of the wheel of time.. and time has moved
Much ... taking with her many dear ones
Over the last 5 years... mom and dad as well.
Tomorrow is another day
Yonder in Calgary where it will be 24 years
Tom passed away in 1990
August 29, 2015... a day to remember.
