A Dip in Holy Waters

Written for One Single Impression 

Prompt : River

( suggested by me )

A Dip in Holy Waters

Immersion of Dad’s

Ashes; my only contact

With river ’Ganges’..

A dip in holy

Waters; cleansing of the soul

Yes, I had felt good

Ah, a revered way

To get rid of sins, but would

Soul stay clean forever

To keep my soul clean

Always, I would have to know

My soul very well

A very first step

To know my soul well, would be

To know, I have one..

My memory of

A dip in Holy River

Makes me face the truth..

Stars all go to sleep

Written for Rebecca's Haiku My Heart..

Stars all go to sleep

Stars all go to sleep

Dawn arrives, listening to

Silence of sunrise…

Morning’s music hits

My ears, mind picks up the notes

Lo, heart starts dancing…

God spreads another

Day; appears smooth, I walk on,

Joyous angels join

Life quietly sails through

Morning, noon and evening

Moon and stars return..

Sky glitters, night 

Long celebration, tired Moon,

Stars all go to sleep..

Sitting Royally On the Laurels of My Past..

Written for 3ww... Impact, Eject, Render

A chain of haiku...

Sitting Royally On the Laurels of My Past...

Hey, eject before

Your impact renders itself

Useless; be useful...

What you did in past

Is no concern of present

Contribute today

Else you will get

Uncermoniously

Rejected , my dear

Gracefully choosing

To sidestep, may leave impactful

Indellible mark

I know, but still my

Hunger for power holds me

Then how to eject...

Sitting royally

On the laurels of my  past, ah,

My identity....

Language of Love..

Language of Love..

All things speak to me

In my language, for that's

What I listen to...

And I learn that If

I wish you to listen , must

Talk your language

Oh, so difficult

Let me go by common one

Language of love..

*******

Theme: Loss and Love..

Feeling of loss 

Occurs when one expects

And isn't it also true

That when one expects

One doesn't really love

Does it mean

Love  and loss

Going together

Is an illusion

Love willingly gives

That's true, but then

Why does separation

Leave a vacuum

And its painful

Mysteries galore, yet,

Letting 'love'to be

That's   love to me..

Does Language Really Matter...

Written for One single Impression
 Prompt # 188 : Language

Thanks to Sandra... a prompt that took me to a place for the first time, where I go everyday...

Does Language Really Matter...

Suddenly I am looking
At a tree who says
“Torrential rains,
But look at me I survived
Thank God, my strong
Roots helped me..”
Yes, I heard the words
In my mind, tree hadn’t
Spoken; I respond
Smilingly, “That’s great,
Let me see if I can
Survive the storms of
Circumstances, don’t know
Whether my roots are
That strong, dear..”
I know tree heard
But did it hear in the
Same language which
I used, if no then
In what language
Did it interpret my message
Wow, I am so keen to learn it
Perhaps a language
That doesn’t support
Negative reactions
For it doesn't have words
That convey negativity
Because need never existed
Yes, I really haven’t seen
A tree or a flower
Ever getting angry or upset
And I don’t think
If they ever turn
Greener with envy....
But then if I learn
That would be wonderful
If not it’s alright
The way it is...
Lessons can be learnt
and for that to happen
Does language really matter?
