a faint ripple grows bigger                                    (Sumana Roy)

beneath the sycamore shade

rainbow drops glow on grass blade                 (Sumana Roy)

a sound that comes unbidden ...

from black ashes of the night                   ( Sumana Roy )

As Agni* witnessed

We began with seven rounds

Our life’s journey

*The rituals and process in a Hindu wedding vary widely. Nevertheless, there are a few key rituals common in Hindu weddings - Kanyadaan, Panigrahana, and Saptapadi, which are respectively, gifting away of daughter by the father, voluntarily holding hand near the fire to signify union, and taking seven steps with each step includes a vow/promise to each other before fire.^[4] The Hindu wedding ceremony at its core is essentially a Vedic yajna ritual. The primary witness of a Hindu marriage is the fire-deity (or the Sacred Fire) Agni, in the presence of family and friends.^[5]**

I may be tender

But I do break the Earth’s crust

And look at the Sun
