Did You?

Day 32

When the bird was flying high in search of its prey,

Did it ever worry about failing?

When the horse was racing faster than the wind,

Did it ever think about falling?

When the burden of fruits pulled the branches down,

Was the tree afraid of dying?

Then why do we worry about falling, failing and dying..

Without even trying?

A Drifting Leaf

Day 31

Drifting in the air

A dried leaf

Sometimes lying on the ground.

Flying with the blowing wind.

Floating away

With no direction.

Wind, water, soil or rain

It settles wherever

Doesn’t complain

Glad about the change.

If only..

Day 28

If only the mind had simple thoughts

Then life wouldn’t be in a troublesome state of affairs.

The greed and desires are many

They never seem to come to an end.

Utter helplessness leads to a fear

Of being consumed

by yet another cloud of dark sadness.

Words Will Heal

Day 26

Looking out the window

With puppy dog eyes.

Many thoughts and questions,

Fill my mind.

Unlike others,

Small talks are not something of desire.

Happy inside the bubble,

Comfortable in the shell.

Yet, a genuine connection..

A meaningful conversation

Will be welcomed with gleeful eyes.

Day 25

The church bells ring

The birds sing

Perched on the branches, they swing

Some sweet memories they bring.

While a girl in her red cap,

Crosses the street holding a cat

and has a small chat,

With a naughty lil brat.

Close & Away

Day 22

I close my lids and ponder.

What’s to be written on the pages of life.

But all I see is darkness, grains-

Like sensations of stars.

I lose myself in the patterns.

Taking deep breaths,

I fill my insides with air.

In the light-headedness I float.

I float with a gentle smile away.
