Renewal?

Renewal?

Spot a familiar face

on face book

Is it she?

Color of hair, complexion

And wrinkles can deceive, but

Spark in those eyes bear out

Floodgates of memory open up,

….College campus,

Canteen, Library, Cycle stand……

Scene pass in front of my eyes

 afresh and clear as new,

Forty years have passed although!

Feeling light as a gliding bird

I look for more information about her

But…….

It is for friends only!

 I send a request for friendship!!!!

**

Ocean to Drops of falling rain:

“You were always a part of me,

You experienced a different world for a while,

Welcome back renewing ties!

Let us merge again

To be one

For we were never two!

**

Christmas blessings shower

Everlasting love, parting and merging

May just be fun!”

I need no one to talk

Just someone to share

I need no one to attend

Just one who cares

I need no escort

Just a friend

I need no one to free me

Just to hold me

No knight to ride

Just a lover to love me!

OSI Prompt : Knight

Which is a Fool’s Paradise?

Which is a Fool’s Paradise?

A world of their own

Where love is everything,

Nothing is more important

Not security, nor future

Nor prestige, nor power…. 

Floating in love

Living for love

They are told

“It is not practical

Reality of life is different!”

And

In practical world

One keeps on working for security

Yet feels insecure…….

 Keeps running after power

 Yet always short of it!!

Called mad by their clan

Jonathan Livingston seagull or

Meerabai or …….

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

Limber up.

Limber up

A thought

An action

A wave

Ripples

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

No wall
No great wall

No Wall Street.

Begins with just a thought.

Followed by actions.

Limber up.

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?"

Cleaning needed

Cleaning needed

Obsessed about cleanliness

Uttered dirty words arrogantly

Spotting filth in a corner

--

OSI Prompt : Obsession.

Spirit of the matter

Spirit of the matter

It is felt

Deep within

Respected, held dear

Close to heart.

Followed intuitively

Wide awaken or in sleep.

When followed as such,

Gets embedded within,

Inducing same in others.

Those who cannot accept it

Stay away.

Those who love it

Come closer,

Strengthening it further.

A New Star

A new star noticed

Blinking…

Getting brighter nights after nights.

Inkling was

It will gradually become so bright

That India will

Be seen in its full glory

Again.

Thank

Government of India,

For their action yesterday night

Accelerated the process.

One Single Impression : Rambling

This and that

Here and there

I, me,

If, what not, but……

On and on…….

Efforts

Efforts

Efforts

to make the presence felt.

Point is

There is no point.

Got the point?

--

OSI Prompt : Rambling

Exhibition and Show off.

Birds glide,

Child’s playfulness

Beauty of nature

So divine….

Seen and even sometimes displayed,

But never shown off.

Why do I strive to exhibit

My wealth

My power

My beauty

My intelligence

My skills?

*

When efforts to show off cease,

Seen easily  

Is real being – divinity.
