Shell

Snail

Carrying always with her

Her safety, her protection

Call it

Her home

She goes anywhere

And yet always at home!

And

I leave my home behind

Worrying about it when away,

Return to it every evening

To be at home!

I wonder what a strange creature this

Why does she have to carry whole home with her?

And

She wonders what an animal this

Hardly at home!

-

To Mother Nature

 To Mother Nature

Let me

Toast and drink to

Her Goodness

For I feel loved by her

No matter

How I destroy

And disturb the balance

Of her vital elements

For my small comforts

And

Yet pretend to be ignorant,

Both of my acts

And her love!

Inbox

Inbox

As sun sets

And day is about to end

Memories like chirping

Of returning birds

Fill the emptiness.

They never go far for long

From their home in warmth of gray cells

Hoping to find new lease of life

From grand children abroad

Or some old friends

I check my Inbox once again

Only to find more junk mails

Chirping is louder now

Sun may soon set

It will be quiet

Dip in Depths

Dip in Depths

I have been a seeker

Since many years

Since many lives

It used to be Books

I will dig in

Then lectures of Masters  & Gurus

But all told me what was known

It brought no change

In silence,

In its depth

Revealed are new dimensions

Knowing

Got different meaning

Words fail me, but I can say

It comes to you in depth of silence

And you do not seek it

You just be there and receive it

Every time I take a dip in depths 

And be there,

It comes in many forms

Like deep water beings of different sizes, shapes and colors

Touch me, feel me,

Some enter in to me, to remain in me

And become part of me.

With every dip

I am different

OSI Prompt : Transition

Innocence

INNOCENCE

When child,

String–box phone were miracle

How does sound travel l through thread?

Found them amazing

As a grownup

I know how it works

Not a miracle

Rainbows,

Seed sprouting to become a plant,

Stars, rain…….

Beautiful, fascinating but

Logic says: not a miracle

Space outside is understood

Space within is different

What keeps me going?

What makes me react?

or act?.......

…….?????

Inner Child is in awe!

Innocence is awakened

Now, sees life in everything,

Every being,

Every where, in or out,

Every moment is now a miracle!

                   *      

                                                                                                                                   

Logic of Adult pushed aside

Ruling is innocence of Child

Miracles seen every moment

Haiku Heights Prompt :Blue

Waiting

Waiting

I can be irresponsible

Yet

Sun rise every morning

Rivers flow

Sea is contained

Flowers blossom

Love float

When will I begin to be responsible?

or

Am I waiting for more confirmations

That He loves me?

When will I opt for His love

And not my small comforts?

Childhood passed

Child within still play

Craving love

OSI Prompt : Underground

Muse

What is it

That has made eyes to twinkle,

Brought new life in limbs,

Smile on face,

Made heart to dance?

Head looking down Swing up
to

Explore vastness of sky?

Legs are taping 

Body swinging in rhythm,

What is it?

What is it

That has driven depression from mind

Away by miles and

Transformed life into a

Celebration?

Whatever,………………please stay.

OSI Prompt : Muse

Elements Lost

Beautiful fishes

Long and swift

Playing around sea plants

In deep within

So beautiful, mesmerizing

Sometimes Golden

Sometimes pink, blue…..

…..Different moods

Wanting to show them to you,

I try to shape them in words

Add sketch or photos

But at best is a very poor mock up

I still persist

Trying to bring those deep water beings

Into dry air

And present to you  

But

Dead fishes

Elements lost

Please see my limitations

And forgive me
