Reason…

For Sadje’s What do you see # 47- 14 September’20

Those are her hidden treasure, which she keeps away from the eyes of everybody, her painting paraphernalia, those colors, those brushes, the canvas, used to give her happiness, her own little world of imagination. How she wanted to become a famous painter one day but never got the opportunity. Memories run down her mind when Avika is showing this to her friend, Mansi.

Those are so beautiful, Avika but why all your paintings are incomplete, complete them, you are such a wonderful artist , Mansi asked her.

I don’t want them to complete, never ever, dont want to end my ray of hope to live, that till these painting is there, I will keep on fighting this cancer, Avika said staring at her painting and with glimpses of her life in it.

But what if it gets completed?

Footprints of spirit

Image credit: Dan Grinwis- Unsplash
(For the visually challenged reader, the image shows a person walking in a desert, dwarfed by huge sand dunes. A long line of their footsteps can be seen behind them)

For Sadje’s What do you see # 46 – 7 September 2020
Walking all alone
In the desert of life
Leaving the footprints
Omnipresent in this universe
Journey of origins
Various births you take
Unique in all ways  
Carrying the burdens
From one to another
Pulled apart and aloof
As if the outside this mortal world
Become formless, indefinite
The only energy you feel
Roaming with the shadows
Tramping with gloom
In search of the absolute truth
In search of the final destination
Away from the hallucinations of oasis 
Away from the illusions of delusions

It rises up…..

Ian Dooley- Unsplash
( For the visually challenged reader, the image shows a sky full of hot air balloons in various colors. The nearest one shows a couple in the basket with an operator)


FOR SADJE’S What do you see # 45 – 31 August 2020
When gravity playing tricks 
Trying to pull it down
It rises up, It rises up high
In the sky, wishing to touch the stars
Driven with the fire within
Against all the odds
Against all the qualms
Spread the wings and fly away
Exploring higher height
Looking at the pinnacle
It rises up, it rises up high
It rises up from the burdens
It rises up from the skepticism
It rises up from the dust
Unstoppable and never look back
Follow its path, not afraid
Between the realms of life
It rises up, it rises up high
Spreading happiness and delight

Free soul

( For the visually challenged reader, the image shows a girl dancing under the jets of water of a fountain, which are meeting her in an arc)

For Sadje’s What do you see # 44- 24 August 2020

Dancing with the tides 
Rhythm of water
Sets her soul free
Dance rain embellished her
Scattered by breeze
Rise wild and open
No cage can hold
Her spirit pure and sweet
No love no anger
She is flexible and fluid
With a soft heart inside.

Survival

Image credit- Lewis Roberts- Unsplash
Family of three monkeys 
Left the forest
Come to the city
Exploring the new life
Settled in a vacant house
In humans locality
Sometimes their relatives
Also visits them
The little one is very naughty
With the other two seems silent
May be afraid or worrying
Roaming here there the whole day
Return and sleep there in the night
Searching food and habitat maybe
Most of the times
Destroying little plants
on the terraced gardens
Who are still in the budding stages
Sometimes little flowers
Sometimes brinjals and tomatoes
Or be it guavas or gouts
Drinking water from water tanks
In amazement and awe
Observing human beings
Sitting on top of towers
Jumping from one place to another
In search of trees maybe
Occasionally coming inside houses
If balcony doors left opened by chance
Once they damaged the clothes
Hanged for drying outside
Maybe they are curious
Or thinking it as food
People often complain
And this thought
Always come to my mind
Don't they feel bad
When humans cut down
Their homes
And leave them helpless
So, why are you now complaining
They also want to survive
You destroyed their home
They are here now
Please don't cut down forests
All have to suffer
Because of a few.

Tea

Image credit; 五玄土 ORIENTO – Unsplash
Brewing aroma of tea leaves 
boiling in water, replenishing the soul
A little bit of sugar and milk
Mixing it with ginger, Pinch of cardamom
Some kind of magic, Comfort in taste
All stress fades away

Happy or sad
Breakfast, lunch or dinner
Or any other time of day
Tea is always a important part
Drank a cup of tea, Second then third

This would be last, Will not drink more now
Determined and firmly I said
But the fourth hit on the door
Okie, this would be last
Maybe after one more cup
Drank the fifth one fast
This would be last again I said
Turned out making the sixth one
Mom exclaimed
How much tea did you gonna drink?
And always awake at night
Like an owl, tea addict you become
Do you want a cup of tea?
Okie, make one for me too
More I go away, More close it appears

This is my small attempt, I feel it can be written way better 😅😅tried to write something funny.

Come with me ……

Image credit- Stefan Keller- Pixabay
Don't be afraid, Come with me
To the castle, Twinkling in a twilight
Beneath the skies, Snowy mounts
Eternal silence, Abiding since ages
Only my shadows know me
On the dark side
Let go the sunshine, Let go the world
Find the truth, Trust the lies
Live the trance, Dreams are alive 
Night is beautiful 
Feel it, see it
It's a new light
The end is beginning, Beginning is end
Embrace the dark, Soul never dies
I am waiting, Time is running
Come with me, Don't be afraid

Circumventing her beliefs
Enlightened to stillness
Rejuvenated her serenity."

Secrets

Image Credit- Pixabay- Ariadne-a-mazed
Buried many secrets 
Untold mysteries giggling loud
Voices echoes
no one can be seen
walls touching sky tall
Clouds are chatting
Thunderstorm arrives
Moonlight murmurs
But doors are now close
the castle stands proud.
