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

An action

A wave

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

No wall
No great wall

No Wall Street.

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.

Holy Books

Holy Books

Some consider book as holy

Some words in it

Some changes it brings in them.

Some read words in it

Discuss lines and in-betweens

Some feel what is transmitted

No matter in what language

For some source of peace & love,

For some reasons to argue and kill

What is received

Depends more on receiver

Less on what is served
