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 …….

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!

OSI Prompt : Birdie

Evening of life

Evening of life

Golden shades of light

Sounds music to ears

Fragrance lifting spirits
Hearts dancing tango……
Darkness not feared

Some call it sunset

I say, party just begins

Limber up.

Limber up

An action

A wave

Ripples

Flood

      Torrent……

For the idea whose time has come
Nothing can now stand in its way

No wall
No great wall

No Wall Street.

Followed by actions.

Limber up.

OSI Prompt : Limber up

Just a piece of paper!

Passing by

A meeting of different ‘papers’…..

Asserting importance,

Heard one say with authority

“I am the most valuable one, I am Rs. Ten thousand”

Second said loudly

“I am the most revered, holy words are printed on me and….”

Third said interrupting,

“I am most needed, I clean. Think what will happen without me!”

Paper of account ledger said

“Don’t you see I am very important? That is why kept so well”

Paper of school textbook was polite

“I just teach and so respected”

And another said charmingly “I beautify walls”

……………………………………..

…………………………………….

I found myself smiling

“How easily they forget they are just a piece of paper”

Next day

In a heated debate at workplace

I saw paper, I was making notes on,

……smiling!
Heard telling me
"How easily you forget you are just a human?
why get so heated and take sides?"

River of Life & Harmony

River of life

Sitting on the bank

Looking at the flow

Just seeing…..

Whirls, weaves, pace, swell, drop, current…..

Just seeing…..

Is

so cooling

So gratifying….

Isn’t thinking to change it foolish? and

Efforts painful and futile?

Yet indulging often in that foolishness!

Harmony

Loving is flowing with flow

Surrendering needs no efforts

Going against brings pain.
