Light




Light reveals only a part
Making world an interesting place,
Whole remain unknown

Haiku Heights Prompt : Light

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 …….

Kalasha


Positivity within and
An urn, leaves and coconut
To begin an enterprise

Haiku Heights Prompt : Urn


Seeking





All my
Hurts, sorrows and pains
Dissolved as your hands stroked my head,

Agitated mind slowed
Peace dawned and
Coolness felt.
Love kindled
Smile returned.





Searching
For that magic
That will turn my tears into smile,
In books and knowledge
In wealth and power
In people and relationships…..

Search
Is eternal.

If you happen to find,
Hold on, don’t let go
For your life.

Hourglass


Hourglass

We all have it.
Time.



A life- time.

For some mystery
For some play
Some just don’t care





Moment by moment
Grain by grain of sand
It slips out and
We have just
One.
One life- time.

Last grain and it will be over.
It cannot be put upside down
And start afresh.

Looking at the balance sand
I wonder,
Will I live each grain?
Or
Will it just pass?

A Birdie, inviting!



A child
Wanting to fly, experience thrill!
“Let go, come out of this routine boring life!”

Another scared!
“Oh no, fall can hurt badly
And others will laugh”

A parent restricting, cautious,
Another encouraging!

All within me!

And  all caution thrown away 
I take off.

Come along!

Evening of life



Evening of life




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
Current
Flood
      Torrent……


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.

World belongs to all. Let’s learn to share.

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?"
