Can I? , Should I? Will I?
In life, at times you have an uninvited guest Mr. Doubt knock at the door popping up unannounced. It shakes your confidence leaving you doubting your abilities.
What do you do when such questions try to brake your step forward?
In response to Susi’s haiku challenge # 10.
Bonds asphyxiate
life, a discordant melee
sour relationship
Dissolve toxic moods
shed the stale veil of ego
stay calm and just be
Reflective thinking
synergy of mind and thoughts
ties blossom again.
Sometimes relationships or close bonds feel suffocated with overpowering proximity. The feeling of each being right, blinds their vision to see that each is stifling the other.They just need some space away from each other to ponder and reflect. This small step does wonders to revive the love in the relationship.
Do share your views on this.
Loving thoughts are always comforting
Errant thoughts play mischief, inviting trouble
Gnawing thoughts give sleepless nights
Divine thoughts envelope a calm
Dreamy thoughts enliven the mood
Frozen thoughts thaw with time, to take action
Kind thoughts spread a positive aura
Intuitive thoughts save the day
Reflective thoughts help the soul evolve,
Fearful thoughts sprout sweat beads
Anxious thoughts steal your peace
Ignorant thoughts brand you a moron
Wandering thoughts do well with direction
Profound thoughts kindle wisdom
Depressing thoughts sap your energy
Tempting thoughts are a total distraction
Emotional thoughts expose vulnerability
Slithering thoughts slip away before action
Immature thoughts need counselling
Radical thoughts garner a movement,
Contemplative thoughts untangle the conundrum
Creative thoughts inspires a magnificent composition!
बांवरा सा मन मेरा, यह तो है अलबेला
चल पड़ता यही, दिल में तराने लिए
न टिकट कटवाता, न ज़रुरत है इसको पासपोर्ट का,
न लम्बी कतारों में रुकना, न भारी सामान उठाना,
नहीं करता कोई सोच विचार, न चाहिए किसी का साथ,
आंखे मूछे, बस निकल पड़ा यूही,
बांवरा सा मन मेरा, यह तो है अलबेला
हसीन वादियों में खो जाता कभी,
तो कभी अनगिनत रेतों की कहानी सुनता
ऊंचे पहाड़ो को छू लेता कभी
तो कभी जंगल की घेहराईओ में खो जाता
समुन्दर के सदा बहार लहरों के संग शाम बिताता
तो कभी बागो में फूलों संग नाचता
लहराते बदल से दोस्ती कर लेता
तो कभी सावन के बूंदो से दिल बहलाता
हिम के सफ़ेद चादर तले ठंड से ठिठुरठा
तो कभी पंछियों सा मदमस्त आकाश में उड़ता
हँसता गुनगुनाता बस यूही निकल पड़ता
बांवरा सा मन मेरा, यह तो है अलबेला
This wandering mind of mine
sets off, singing a melody.
Without a ticket or a passport,
nor the hassles of long queues and heavy baggage,
with no planning or company needed,
it embarks on a journey, at the blink of the eye.
This wandering mind of mine
sets off, singing a melody.
At times, it loses itself in pristine surroundings
or listens to the many stories of the infinite sands,
at times it scales the peaks of gigantic mountains
or gets lost in the wilderness of the woods,
at times spends an evening with the oceanic waves
or sways along with the dancing blooms,
at times, it fosters friendship with the wafting clouds
or soaks itself in the gentle raindrops,
at times, it shivers under the white expanse of snow
or soars like a carefree bird in the blue yonder.
Smiling and humming along,
it embarks on a beautiful journey.
This wandering mind of mine
sets off, singing a melody.
In response to Secretkeeper.net’s weekly writing prompt # 107, to use in a poem or flash fiction the 5 words below.
| VERSE | RULE | FIGHT | RIVER | REST |
Here is my attempt:
The thoughts are not at rest
words fight with each other
against an emotional anguish
waging within the warring mind.
The vehement altercation goes on
refusing to follow any rules
lost in the mayhem
of strife and turmoil.
The fervid mind seeks to untangle
the impetuous mess within
picks up the pen to scribble
some magic on paper.
Verses flow gracefully
like the gentle river
calming down the torrents
poetry is truly therapeutic!
