Those lovely fingers

Those lovely fingers! You are really beautiful there is no doubt about it If I were a classical poet I would have compared your face to the lotus or the moonbeams and what not But in the modern age that may sound ridiculous About one thing I am sure though Love, beauty and everything good flows through those gentle fingers They are impressively expressive When you slide your fingers on the frets of the vINA strings and produce those waves of melody or when you glide your fingers on the floor with the rangOli powder to produce those tender artistic patterns or when you feed our young one coaxing to eat little morsels of food showing the moon in the sky or when you gently run your fingers through my hair at the end of the day offering a prelude to unknown joys it is those fingers, those lovely fingers those love-filled fingers that I think of J K Mohana Rao

Uhmm, I normally take them for granted, until I get hurt in one of my fingers, and have to adjust with bandaged fingers for a while...that's what it takes for me to appreciate my fingers! I think you ARE a classic poet :)

Yes Lata, Very true. There are many things in us and in life, we take them/it for granted until it is hurt/lost.
