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!

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?

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

Crystals




No makeup or youth
Beauty sparkles through eyes
Purity within support

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

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.

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?

Ordinary


Ordinary looks
Deeply appealing thanks to
Beautiful soul

Beautiful soul
Touching hearts around
Magnetic pull

Magnetic pull
Ordinary looks though
Fans many

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

Honey Bee


Hopping from one flower to another
Being with one now
Another then,
To each one fullness of my heart  
True with everyone

Nature has created me as such
I am in harmony
True to my heart
True in my love
True with everyone





I don’t cheat
Never holding back a piece of myself
Pure and chaste
Close to God
In love with life
True with everyone




And they call me fickle hearted!
