दे दे कोई टूटा सपना
या फिर कोई याद पुरानी
आया हूँ दर पर तेरे
दे दे एक टुकड़ा ज़िन्दगी ।१।

आंखें हैं मेरी कश्कोल
बुझा दे मेरी तिश्नगी
दिखा दे एक झलक मुझे
दे दे एक घूँट ज़िन्दगी ।२।

मत बाँट भले ख़ुशी अमित
संजों लेने दे आँसूं अपना
बना लूँगा मोती उसे
दे दे एक बूँद ज़िन्दगी ।३।

Winsome, willowy, and free

In the early stages of life-

Young and without care!

Later, the chance to

lift her face to the sun becomes

limited by life,

love, husband, and children,

but still a possibility.

Children grow and abandon

the family home,

(at least that is the way she feels).

Now, there is time to be free again

unfettered by family tasks or work,

but she does not feel the freedom

as she did in her youth.

She ponders, where is her slice of life?

The one she can claim as her own.

The waters of the lake,

Glistening under the mid-morning sun,

Still, and not running so deep,

Bordering the fringe, the greens ever so thick,

Barely any light emanating amongst the foliage,

Lying half immersed, as lifeless as the rock beside it,

The one armed crocodile,

Bidding its time for a catch or two,

Kept me wondering, an arm lost:

Could it be?

Space domination, hunger pangs, vying for a partner ,

Protecting its young one or merely something else?

As the boat moved further,

With the boatman goading us to ,

Enjoy the sights of egrets, cormorants, storks,

And yet other migratory birds,

A sight so warm and deep,

And yet taken for granted,

Of a mother painted stork,

A beauty by herself,

With colourful wings

Of pink, black, yellow, white,

Resolving a fight amongst her kids,

Trying to be impartial and teaching ,

Lessons of sharing and brotherhood,

Caught…

Reena’s Exploration welcome’s us again, to enrich this space with your wisdom and talent!

PROMPT/THEME OF THE WEEK

“Revitalized”

(Poem)

A kaleidoscope color show

nature simulates this for me,

just as the sun sets low.

Firey balloon ball of ruby red 

descends, such a pleasure to see;

Horizon glows and spreads.

Into the realm of contentment,

is all I could seek,

to end all existence of resentment.

Soon that ruby red balloon 

disappeared beneath the landscape,

leaving me to dwell within the cavity of my cocoon.

Envisioning the darkness 

did not make me sad;

No, no… It made me feel glad.

Tomorrow the fireball would return

and my heart will be renewed,

to see the ruby red balloon lit up like a lantern.
