Living India
You looked into my eyes
I into yours
Not a word was spoken
Not a word was needed
A look
A smile
An invitation
Into each other’s world
*
Eyelids part
Only to meet again.
For the eyes that see
We are never apart.
*
Saree
Covers up
To reveal
*
i build obstacles
And pray to Ganesha
To remove them.
I build bridges
From stumbling blocks
And enshrine Ganesha within.
*
Churning
Brings out
Deepest yearning.

I’m Anandi Zhang. I live in Auroville. Poetic since childhood, I lost it somewhere along the way. Then, inspired by Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri and sonnets, as well as Kabir, Rumi and others’ poems, the poetic sense came back to me, and very organically I started to write down poetic expressions from inspirations, observations and reflections of life experiences. Mostly, the “poems” come on their own, in a poetic sense, images, words or whole poems, and I simply pen them down.
