Dark chilling nights of winter,

Harsh burning sun of May,

Dry spells and floods

Powerful wind, storms,

Come and go.

See endure and flourish

Ones who

Stay

Rooted.             

                                  

A New Star

A new star noticed

Blinking…

Getting brighter nights after nights.

Inkling was

It will gradually become so bright

That India will

Be seen in its full glory

Again.

Thank

Government of India,

For their action yesterday night

Accelerated the process.

NOW

NOW

 It was there,

Always.

Not seen

Not found

Not felt

Yet there.

Like

Pearls in the ocean,

Diamonds in earth.

Like 

Breathing in and out.

As clutters fall off

What has remained

Was

Always there.

Call it

Acceptance,

Truth,

Manifestation.

Always there,

Experiencing

Now.

OSI Prompt : Manifest

One Single Impression : Rambling

This and that

Here and there

I, me,

If, what not, but……

On and on…….

Efforts

Efforts

Efforts

to make the presence felt.

Point is

There is no point.

Got the point?

OSI Prompt : Rambling

Exhibition and Show off.

Birds glide,

Child’s playfulness

Beauty of nature

So divine….

Seen and even sometimes displayed,

But never shown off.

Why do I strive to exhibit

My wealth

My power

My beauty

My intelligence

My skills?

*

When efforts to show off cease,

Seen easily  

Is real being – divinity.

OSI Prompt : Exhibition 

LOVE

LOVE

Like a fresh breeze,

Coming without any notice

and stoping without any,

It blossoms on its own.

With love around,

Celebration is on.

Heart gets wings and

Soul is content,

Sunrise and sunsets are more colourful,

Moon more charming

And fragrance in air enchanting.

It is His grace that visits you

No one has control over it.

When in love you trust totally

But love cannot be trusted to be there, always.

So tender……

Efforts to retain it are like holding back

Cool breeze that lift your spirits. 

                *

Lasting are

Marriages

Contracts

Relationships

Understandings……

Right efforts can keep it going

…..With cool breeze refreshing your heart often,

If you are

Open  and  Lucky.

OSI Prompt : LOVE.

Border

Border

Crossing the line

Was dreadful

But not crossing was killing her.

She had to.

She did.

Will you hold guilty a cuckoo

For singing her heart out

On a tree

in the hospital compound

With ‘Silence please’ board?

Everyone crosses

You

Me

All

Yet cast stones at others.

HE gave a seamless world.

OSI Prompt : Border

Place

So, we meet tomorrow again?

Where??

‘My place.’

“Your place?  No, my place”.

‘My place’

“No , my place”

.............

……….

It goes on…….

It is just that they want to hang on

With each other,

Not wanting to leave.

Deep in their mind is a place

Which is neither hers nor his,

It is a place that they can call ‘ours’.

               

                *

Scene is not so romantic

For the waitress waiting on their table,

….Other guests are in queue.

OSI Prompt : Place

One Single Impression : Shackles

Within reasons!!

Reasons demand ‘no, not done’

‘Stay within boundaries’

She remains confined.

Within walls of reasons

Maintaining balance.

She is an

Emotional eater,

Exercises regularly to maintain herself

Sometimes, though not often,

is seen

Staring far away………..,

Deep into the sky.

……but returns quickly

Within boundaries.

She is known as

A good homemaker.
