Excellence

  Excellence


Humming, singing
Spinning wheel
Creating earthen pots
That earns her enough
For her to call it good.




She felt calm, content.
Love spilling to show
On the pots she made.

“Excellent. These are best in town,
Strong & well shaped”
Said a customer to another
Visiting her hut.

Smile passed her face.

Where is the beginning 
of 
Excellence?

Within

Within

Lines being added
Colors splashed,
Perception of what is it
Changing with passage of time,
A connoisseur is in awe
Wondering who the painter is!

Connection


Connection 



Training,
Experience,
Dedication,
Knowledge
And opportunity create a
Connoisseur


A piece of art
A loving heart often comes across,
Makes her smile,
laugh,
Feel sad or
shed tears….
Her soul feels connected.
No expert she is.


Wonder who will artist want to hug?

Nature Unfolding

Nature Unfolding

A narrow path, seen passing by,
Hey, what is that, does it lead to that lake?
Turned around and ventured in
Rough, bouncy, barely motorable
But enthusiasm was driving hard.



And about two Km. off the highway
Revealed was
Beauty that filled heart & soul.
Virgin- no traffic, no people
No electric poles,
Peace, serenity, vastness
Cool…meditative.
Just raw nature
And
Us.

Entering that narrow path
Was entering a cocoon
Full of life
Unfolding.

Note: About three hours drive from Mumbai or Pune, a place that is so beautiful and yet so scarcely peopled is unbelievable. Attached are few pictures of that heaven we experienced yesterday.

My friend whispered after a long calm, money cannot get this! I agreed.

(Please don’t ask me exact location for I will like you to find it – life reveals itself to one who is eager).

Encounter

Encounter




Sparks ignited as eyes met

Lightning strikes

It is over in moments.






Note : This is my first attempted Haiku.

Secret


Secret

Petals open and bud blossoms
Without efforts,
Let life unfold…..

Flow with life
Be part of the existence,
No need to have your personal goals
Existence has it for all.
Goals lead to efforts,
Feel effortlessness.
Surrender to Her,
Let go…
Save your tears.

To have personal goals is to command
Life to follow your pattern,



Just follow pattern of life,
Let go…. Don’t struggle.


For once,
Let go off all goals.


Let bud blossom,
Let life unfold,
Enjoy!
Play!
For you are an angel sent on the earth
To play.

A reason to live...


A reason to live...


Preponderance of rain drops
On windowpane,
It’s a rainy season again.
Child in me runs out…..



Let drops from heaven drench me
And
Seep deep into my soul,



Bringing to me
Nectar
This life offers…..


It is so easy to see reason
To live
Years after years……

Anxiety

Anxiety


Mid night
A jungle trail
Gentle light, just enough
From
Moon above,
Heart praising
Cool…
Beautiful….

From nowhere a thick cloud drifts in
Covering moon,
Vulgar darkness is consuming.

Will I last
Till
Clouds pass??

Candid (OSI prompt : Overt)


Candid

Candid

I wear costumes
Creams, fragrances
Ornaments…….
For I don’t adore
True
Look, feel & odor of
My body.

Overt candid revelation
Of self
Is dreaded
So I Wear
Lies
Lies
Lies. &
Lies.

A voice
 in space within me arise :
“This body too is a lie.
I am wearing it
For a play.”

Deastination

Destination   (OSI Prompt : Roads)

Roads are never ending
Take round and round,
Lives pass travelling
Yet not reach.
Destination eludes.





Till one finds a road
That lead to lots of love,
To Him.
