A crowd gathered at the dilapidated hut in the village. Worried, they were all busy discussing about the otherwise barren tree which had grown “shoes”.
The villagers decided to offer one of their shoe to the “shoe tree” as an oblation, lest some tragedy befell on them..

Someplace, far away,
Under the soft blanket of the blissful blue sky,
Where there are no tears, no sorrows,
No fears, no stress, no hurry for tomorrow
I would like to stay and truly live my life..
Under the soft blanket of the blissful blue sky,
Where there is compassion and love,
Where there is a treasure chest of goodness to shove,
Where there are rains of peace and harmony from above,
I would like to stay and truly live my life..
Under the soft blanket of the blissful blue sky,
Where I could take a flight in the unchartered universe,
Where I could flutter around gathering the nectar from the life’s deep caverns,
Where I could be myself, without being torn apart playing different roles,
I would like to stay and truly live my life..
Under the soft blanket of the blissful blue sky…
Someplace, far away…
Cell no. 100 houses the most dangerous and notorious prisoner. No one dares to cross his path..
Are you sure you would want to counsel him and talk to him regarding the biography ? “Inquired the Jailer”….

To battle the fierce fears,
Which attack our sole soul,
We should sometimes be allowed to cry aloud,
And apply a balm on our sore heart to help us soar high,
We need to shear the ego & the ‘I’, and see life through the sheer “eye“,
And let go of some of our limiting attributes and sum up our life.
The underlying requirement of human life, is a Piece of Peace,
To tide over, our tied shackles of problems and limitations.
We tend to assess if life is fair, but the truth that matters is, in this journey how did we fare?
I have used homophones in each line of this piece and tried to bring out the gist of life. Hope you all enjoy it.
Why do we feel hurt,
By words someone has spoken…
Where do we feel it and where does it pain??
Where do the tears flow from ??
The wounds and the scars of the older wounds aching and hurting,
Are intensely etched and ingrained,
Somewhere in the deep crevices of our being…
The words are spoken arrows,
Hitting the target of the concentric circles, of the emotional dart board,
Bringing out the hidden emotions of anger, sadness and frustrations to the brink,
To ooze out of us.
We demand an apology, and rightly so..
Lest, to satisfy our ego,
But, my dear friends, Do you think that’s the way to go??
Apology, is a must,
Not from the person who shot arrows of words on us,
But from ourselves to US,
For having suppressed the emotion within and for blaming it outside of us.
A big shout out of Thank You to the person who speaks thus,
To help trigger the release of emotion buried within us,
To bring about the emotional upheaval from within,
To facilitate our true healing !!
