For us to walk ahead our different paths and move on
Or,
Strangers again to begin afresh,
To re-discover ourselves
differently than before,
more understanding maybe,
more objectively maybe
And,
tread on a new journey
of self-realization.
Chalo ek baar phir se ajanabee bun jaayein hum dono....

Your choice.
Your comment on an ideology.
It is your right of official expression.
Good or bad,
Right or wrong
It is yours to possess and exercise.

Prompt: earthling
Mere inhabitants on a planet, we strut around as we own the five elements.

Mere earthlings on a planet earth, self obsessed we are unaware that beings exist elsewhere too, that could be stronger, smarter than us.

Mere wisps of creation all that we do once we are born is await death which is a mortal reality. And yet,

We function as if there is no end forgetting the reason why we have been sent,
to merge with creation.

Have you little bird, outgrown your cage?
Have you grown into a big bird barely fitting inside your now, tiny cage?
Do you wish to fly out into another cage much bigger than this?
What if you grow bigger even in that and the next one and the next?
Why do you wish to live in a cage at all?
Why not fly where your heart wants to?
Why be chained with the limitations of a cage that doesn't let you explore your horizons?
Why desire a cage built with mere bricks and metal when the entire universe is a bigger, much larger, more interesting home that lets you be whatever your size or desires?

Prompt: Solitude

From the day I converted my loneliness into solitude, life was never the same again. With a spring in every step I floated in the clouds drenched with the shower of pregnant rain that made my creativity bloom and love expand until I was one with the universe.

Prompt: houseplants

Money plant creepers promise abundance.
Snake plants pump in pure oxygen
in homes made toxic by venomous thoughts.
One houseplant for every emotion.
Each plant dealing with some abhorrent notion.
How much more of nature's bounty
are we going to keep dumping in our kitty?

Prompt: timeline

We, in our matchbox houses.
We, in our little set-ups
busy with ourselves.
We, in our mini societies
lost, clueless in our portals
clashing timelines
that could have stitched us
together in one warm blanket
of love and empathy
had we only ventured out
of our fragmented mindsets.

Prompt: Embrace

Your warmth embraces my soul.
The truth in your love warms my heart.
Our mortals forms mere instruments
for our hearts to travel along the path of the Almighty's eternal embrace.

Day 9:
Prompt: What I need

Is it you I need or the Lord Almighty
who led me to you?
Is it you or the little girl in me
who can still keep the split milk
aside and move on?
Is it you or Ma Nature who forgives
me when she realises I'm truly sorry?
Is it you I need or myself who believes
in you, trusts you, loves you entirely?

Never lose faith.
Don't ever underestimate your family.
