A color of evening....




A color of evening…..

It is now Evening,

Work is over…

One by one
Quietly
They leave

Sun is setting….
Returning birds
Scattered clouds
Shades of ochre….
Relaxed
unbound

Beautiful.

Yet
Lonely.

Time to go….
Home.

New World Order

New  World  Order
(One single Impression Prompt : Dawn)



My way of living,
Your way of living,
My faith, your faith…
Dogma,
Borders in mind….. On land,
Will protect it …At any cost,
Armies,
Weapons of mass destruction…

Suffocating dark long night.
Scary, limiting....
Madness…..

Dawn……

New world….
Knows no boundaries
No great wall can stop it.

One people, one world, one law….
Law of love.
Treasured within each living
That sets soul free…..
 World of
Cyberspace.

It is just the beginning.

Out Casted



Out casted
(One single Impression - Prompt : Oubliette)

They all left
Never to look back,
Leaving him alone..

Out casted.

He
Restless.. ..lonely….cursing…..suffering….
Confined to himself,
In oubliette.      
Nights darker & longer,
& tears heavier.

Gradually….
Reality sinks in.
He is calmer….


Silent…..


Having passed through those dark nights
now
He rejoices in twilight of   space  within.

He no more curses
He has empathy for them….

For all.

He is no more alone.

Just different pots....



Just different pots.....




My hopes
My dreams, my vision,

My belief, my confidence, my trust,
My esteem,
My sensibility, my compassion, 
My pains, my sorrow,
My vulnerability……..
Make my space within.

You are a frequent visitor here.
So am I,                                                                                       
To the space you treasure within.

We share same kind of world,
Same kind of fire warms us,
Same drinks quench our thirst.

Aren’t we
Water of same stream
In different pots?

Crossing Limits.



CROSSING LIMITS


Chasing thrill & excitement,
Crossing all safe limits,
Ignoring your advice,
Putting aside commonsense.

Now in the middle of night
In our car, badly smashed,
On a roadside, in pool of blood,
I wish
I was more careful on that turn.

It could have saved
Two innocent lives
And
Mine.

Wisdom
Now dawns
In last few moments…..

Pleasure of life is not in seeking
Thrill & excitement
Foolishly crossing limits,
It is in consciously working towards
Expanding limits.

I am sorry DAD.
