We all search for the blue bird of happiness as it flits further and further from our vision. We strive to capture this blue bird so that we may imprison it in a guilded cage for our entertainment. We like its sweet song. Except once imprisoned it refuses to sing and we are left lonely and isolated. If what makes us happy is alcohol, drug dependency, gossip and social media, perhaps we are the ones in the guilded cage imprisoned by our dependencies. It’s a cruel world where we cope with economic survival, family upheaval, bad lifestyle choices, political malaise and fragile bodies. These forces change us and tend to bury our true nature. We have to break free. Happiness cannot be captured and put…

 ( body, beauty, passengers)

 I wake up at 3 am to find my body seems to be gliding through the air. 

My surrounding seems to vanish.

There is just me floating or rather gliding in the air and the star-studded sky. 

My mind, usually a chatterbox is dumbfounded by the magnificence of the scene. 

It’s overwhelming to witness such beauty.

So many times I have seen stars shining in the sky but today it seems so serene, surreal, incredible, divine. 

I’m…

What a morning Linda thought as she made the bed. She softly, lovingly smoothed the blankets over the top. In her mind, he was still there, even though he had been gone for over ten years.

I remember many good times on this bed she thought, and horrible ones. I was sitting on the edge of this bed during the 9/11 attacks, waiting for my husband to finish getting ready for work.

The depths of Linda’s mind remember the good, the happiness and the sorrow while resting on this bed, waiting for sleep to come.

Three Things Challenge: #2

“Listen Inder, this is the jet age and life is all about moving forward, and in order to do that everyone takes the fastest mode___be it cars or trains, even planes, ___but sadly, you seem to be unmindful of this reality and is not even riding a bicycle”.

“Listen,” countered Inder facing his colleague,whom incidentally, he had known from college, “If are alluding to the fact that I am not a sycophant, the obsequious kind who’s ever ready to suck up to his superiors, ever ready to butter his bosses, then Vikram, you’re right___I prefer…”

“Then you prefer taking the slow road, right,” butted in Vikram before adding, “Yeah I know Inder, you prefer  the lonesome walk, you prefer to stick to your principles, you refuse to…

PROMPT 104- LONG AND SHORT OF IT:

My choice;

A THOUSAND CENTURIES

A thousand centuries have passed

Yet we are nowhere near finding our humanity

We will ostracize our own people

Because their skin is a different color

Shunning them because of their

Language, dress or the beliefs they follow

We are even worse than animals

Who harm other only when they have to survive

The humans take up arms just because they can

And we breed animosity without reason

We harbor grudges which are born out of spite

How many centuries will go by

Before we become humans, kind and gracious

What will convert us into peace loving race

Instead of the civilized barbarians we are?
