Friends

Friends

Two kids

Looking at a balloon in sky, 

Feelings in their heart

Make them laugh.

Friends they are

Moment brings them closer

Friendship felt.

Two adults

Logic runs high

They see balloon in sky,

Balloons have different meaning for each

Different feelings in each

Yet it brings them closer

For they care for each other’s feelings

Hearts of two friends are connected

Like hearts of two kids,

Logic in its place

Dare not come in the way.

OSI Prompt : Friend

Call of a Balloon

Light and colorful

 Going higher and higher

As high as I can

And still further….

Nothing holds me

In my single minded pursuit

…. to reach my highest

No looking back

No holding back

No intentions to return

My let go is complete

Reaching higher

I will disappear,

Clinging not

Hearts looking at me from the ground

Connect with me

Some smile, some sigh!

OSI Prompt : Balloon

Truth

Unending layers of untruth

Yet not reached

What may be True

Is what I call untruth

Just a part of larger Truth

I am unable to see?

Haiku Heights Prompt : True

Flight of a kite

Light & colorful

Riding current high

I am seen flying in the sky

Proud to be a kite

Control is in hands not mine

How high and how long He decides

Ever thankful for a flight

Prayers are for landing fine

When it is time

OSI Prompt: Kite

No makeup or youth

OSI Prompt : Crystal

GEMS LOST!!

Many a times
Finer point of life seen
In the course of living,
Gets drained with clutters in mind

A gem is lost






When clutters are cleared
Point seen becomes bright as crystal
And
Gets shape into words

OSI Prompt : Crystal

It is never too late...

Go knock

Again and again

Don’t take no as an answer

It’s never too late

You have plenty to give

Do not worry

Open your door

It’s never too late

Road may seem to be long

Start your journey

Every step adds to your strength

It’s never too late

You may be alone

Don’t wait for others to join

Follow they will on trail you make

It’s never too late

Listen to call of your heart

Only one life for it to live

Say yes to life,

What are you waiting for?

Why postpone?

It’s never too late ……..to live

Take off.

OSI Prompt : waiting

Wanting

Roots want so tree lives,
Mother wants so children can be fed,
Earth wants to be quenched so seeds can sprout,
Call it selfless wanting

Trees give shade
And flowers give fragrance unasked,
Sun gives light and
Fruits get consumed giving,
Call it giving that fulfills self

What touches heart more,
Selfless wanting
 or
Giving that fulfills self?

Haiku Heights Prompt : Ordinary

My empty cup

Sitting on a sea shore I see
A pit dug by kids playing

Often filled by waves
As soon as waves recede
It gets empty again

Kids bring water by buckets trying to fill it
But it is soon drained
They try hard
Efforts are frustrating

Only sea can fill it

A smile passes my face
