Depression

by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy

Rain drops from the skies
And the tear drops from my eyes
Causing depression
Are the failures of my life
And an ever nagging wife

Thanks Nairji for liking this one and the interesting story:-) Thanks for your generous appreciation Bhaskarji. As always, you've come up with a great one, Kulbir that deserves to be posted separately too :-) Thanks.

Padmaja,

Let raindrops from the skies
And teardrops from your eyes
Be from joy and laughter,
Promising bliss hereafter.

sad plight of a depressed life so well captured!!! The apt imagery of 'rain drops' and 'tear drops' has enhanced the poetic beauty. thanks for sharing your "tear" bathed grief....

I have heard a story of a Hindi saint-poet (forgot the name)whom a friend visited at his house. The poet's nasty wife greeted the friend with mouthful of loud abuses. Then, when both the friends got out of the house for a stroll in peace, she poured buckets full of water over them from the balcony. The poet, still very composed, told his petrified friend: "Don't worry, rain always follows thunder". Thanks, Padmaja-ji, for sharing this short but beautiful poem.
