Haiku Heights Prompt : Light

Which is a Fool’s Paradise?

Which is a Fool’s Paradise?

A world of their own

Where love is everything,

Nothing is more important

Not security, nor future

Nor prestige, nor power…. 

Floating in love

Living for love

They are told

“It is not practical

Reality of life is different!”

And

In practical world

One keeps on working for security

Yet feels insecure…….

 Keeps running after power

 Yet always short of it!!

Called mad by their clan

Jonathan Livingston seagull or

Meerabai or …….

Kalasha

Positivity within and

An urn, leaves and coconut

To begin an enterprise

Haiku Heights Prompt : Urn

Seeking

All my

Hurts, sorrows and pains

Dissolved as your hands stroked my head,

Agitated mind slowed

Peace dawned and

Coolness felt.

Love kindled

Smile returned.

Searching

For that magic

That will turn my tears into smile,

In books and knowledge

In wealth and power

In people and relationships…..

Search

Is eternal.

If you happen to find,

Hold on, don’t let go

For your life.

OSI Prompt : Seeking.

Hourglass

Hourglass

We all have it.

Time.

A life- time.

For some mystery

For some play

Some just don’t care

Moment by moment

Grain by grain of sand

It slips out and

We have just

One.

One life- time.

Last grain and it will be over.

It cannot be put upside down

And start afresh.

Looking at the balance sand

I wonder,

Will I live each grain?

Or

Will it just pass?

OSI Prompt : Hourglass

A Birdie, inviting!

A child

Wanting to fly, experience thrill!

“Let go, come out of this routine boring life!”

Another scared!

“Oh no, fall can hurt badly

And others will laugh”

A parent restricting, cautious,

Another encouraging!

All within me!

And  all caution thrown away 

I take off.

Come along!
