An Apprentice in God’s Workshop of Life….

Haiku My Heart: Stranger


Stranger at home
Removes star studded mask,
Lo! Moon stands smiling..



OSI Prompt : Apprentice

An Apprentice in God’s
Workshop of Life….

Oh, how I wish God had made me
Undergo apprentices’ training
In the Sigh-tech trade of ‘Living’
Before my birth
Helping me become a crafts-man
Sculpting my own life
And shaping lives of others too
Instead, he sent me
Directly, without inputs and
Commanded that I be placed
For on-the-job training
And that has continued unabated
With Moments acting as
Qualified instructors
Directing my learning
Helping me shape my days
Get filled with quality, passing
Inspection by strangers
Welding relationships
With electrodes of trust & love
Grinding some rough edges
Developed out of envy & jealous
Filling the cracks of doubt
Refining perceptions
Manufacturing dreams
Reworking on defective thoughts
And I know, I shall always
Remain an apprentice
In God’s workshop of life
On Earth , perhaps , a new role
As a craftsman,
Lies somewhere beyond
But then I am hopeful
Of passing through the tests
In the realms of the present..


****

No more strangers, both
Heart and mind choose to be
Soul's Apprentices


****

Stars happpily enroll
In Moon's dream factory to learn
Shining and smiling..
