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

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.

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.
