A Soul turned

It has been a lonely life – says the unusual tombstone. He places a bouquet on the grave – not of fresh flowers, but gilt-edged roses. “This is what you chose – artificial beauty frozen in glass.

Not Quite

Random? That celebratory word

मन का अँधेरा

English translation – The Darkness Within — of a Hindi Haiku set by hecblogger (Amit Agrawal)

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

चाँद सा मुखड़ा मेरा
कहाँ देखा है किसी ने
मेरे मन का अँधेरा ।१।

मेरी धीमी मुस्कान
चाहा ही कहाँ तुमने
समझना मेरा सवेरा ।२।

उलझी हुई लट मेरी
संवारेगा कौन भला
इन उलझनों का डेरा ।३।

रंग रूप का खज़ाना
ढूंढ़ती हैं प्यासी आंखें
मेरी तमस का लुटेरा ।४।

मन एक मंदिर मेरा
कौन करेगा आकर
अमित इसमें बसेरा ।५।

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #74 — Prayer to Maa Durga

Lisa or Li's avatarTao-Talk

Reena is the host of this Exploration Challenge. Reena says:

The prompt this week is a collage. Pick any one element of it (a picture or quote), or more and let the thoughts flow. The choice is yours.

I choose to write about the Maa Durga statue in the collage.

Maa Durga,

you listen intently

to my prayers

and sit as still

as your very statue.

You care to hear.

You raise your hand

and say:

Worry

no more

I got this.

You know

I am ready

willing

able

to take care

of all of

your worries

your pleas.

These things

have already

been handled

you just don’t

know it yet

rest easy in

this knowledge.
