Dream

D r e a m

It must be there

Buried

Deep beneath where

My awareness could not reach.

Surfaced in my unawareness

Touched my heart,

Filled me with affection

I had known only playing in his lap

But not since then

In the morning, still

Traces of that experience lingering within, I

Searched and found old family album

Looked at my uncle’s picture and

Thanked him

For visiting me last night.

It must be there

Buried

Deep within,

What I had known playing in his lap

But not since then.

Flying happens only in dream

OSI Prompt : Dream

Crossing Limits.

CROSSING LIMITS


Chasing thrill & excitement,
Crossing all safe limits,

Ignoring your advice,

Putting aside commonsense.

Now in the middle of night

In our car, badly smashed,

On a roadside, in pool of blood,

I wish

I was more careful on that turn.

It could have saved

Two innocent lives

And

Mine.

Wisdom

Now dawns

In last few moments…..

Pleasure of life is not in seeking

Thrill & excitement

Foolishly crossing limits,

It is in consciously working towards

Expanding limits.

I am sorry DAD.

(One Single Impression prompt : 119, Icarus. )

To be a Parent....

To be a Parent……

You may keep away, you may withdraw….

You may not call, you may ignore me….

You may be secretive; you may exclude…..

You may insult, you may reject me…

Though it is heart breaking,

Painful to endure….

It makes me feel depth of my love for you.

To me you remain my child who brought

Smile on my face

And refreshed my heart.

I will always be there for you,

Will always care for you.
