One Single Impression : WRONG

Friends,

I just got up after watching a live debate about conversion of two Muslims in Kashmir valley on  TIMES NOW.  It was a terrible show. Quality of debate was nowhere near mellowness & serenity such discussions require.

Faith became a matter of ego instead a tool that alleviate harmony, love.

 Following verse is a result of that discussion – that noise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Faith,

A subject of heart.

Debated on a news channel

Arguments and counter arguments

All products of limited minds

Play of egos

Creating noises

Troubled Heart feels lost in that

Noisy bazaar

And no one cares!

Missing is serenity that connects

Missing is

Faith.

Connection

Thanks to smiles

To my small gestures,

Thirsty soul feels quenched

Loved and esteemed.

Small relief seen on faces

Connects me in that moment to

Infinite source of bliss

Indebted I am to

Those smiles.

“In dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed” – Khalil Gibran

OSI Prompt : Smile

Soul

Soul

Godliness in a flower

Excitement in a contest

Fun in a party

Emptiness in a lonely

In you, me

In this table, chair…..

In trees and birds and clouds….everywhere,

Cannot be seen

Cannot be described or portrayed.

But known within,

More so when

See a dead

….Death in a dead.

OSI Prompt : Soul                   

A strict Teacher

A strict teacher

A teacher

Stiff and hard,

For him

Rules are rules!

Observe them

Follow them

Meet deadlines

Maintain standards high

Right on time

No mistakes

No mess ups

Or force to amend

For rules are rules

Any violation

Meets with set of rules

Rules and more rules

For rules are rules

Oh! Rules,

Invincible Wall of rules

Surrounding him!

In alumni meet

Anxious, inquiring

About each student,

Holding tears in his moist eyes

Wall seen pierced

Revealing a soft heart

Rules are just rules

OSI Prompt: Invincible

Thanks !

Thanks

…for remaining unchanged.

It was god’s blessing that we met.

I loved you,

You loved me.

Years have past since then.

You have changed a lot,

I have changed a lot,

And the world has changed a lot.

Isn’t it a miracle that

You love ‘changed me’ &

I love ‘changed you’,

In this ever changing world?

Isn't it God’s blessing?

--which has remained unchanged.

Thank God.
