It Depends

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

In general, by default,

we have a thing called instinct,

which often leads us to appropriate responses,

serving as our compass.

However, in the event that it wouldn’t work,

the most sensible response

is to distant ourselves (and consider others too)

from harm or danger.

Finally, in matters of life and death,

of course, we choose life.

But in the event of brain death,

To avoid continued suffering,

We pull the plug,

And allow dignified death

To take its course.

Kindred Soul

What quality do you value most in a friend?

Extra pair of eyes,

Extra pair of ears,

Extra pair of hands

And feet—

Those are too nice;

But too much to impose

Even to expect.

So to just find

A kindred soul

Who enjoys your company,

Is enough.

As friends are always gifts

From up above.

For Nature’ Sake

I scattered your fragmented memories to the sea;

But billowing waves returned them back to me.

I buried them deep in the sands;

But rushing ripples took them away;

Only for the billowing waves to return them to me

And so for nature’s sake, I’m keeping them back. . .

Entrusting the taking and healing

to time and destiny.

Bloggers Conquer This

If the eyes are not

Meeting, chances are there won’t

Be understanding.

Salute to the Fallen

For their patriotism,

Unparalleled love and

Service, hail to thee!

Breathing

What are you good at?

With decades of living

How can I not master the art of breathing?

Minutes of forgetting it

Means resting in peace eternally.

For now, inhale, exhale—

That’s my thing,

The most important thing.

I can’t take it literally

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

Because if I do, I’d end up being materialistic—

And I don’t like that.

Therefore, to me “having it all” means

What I have in hands already;

What I have accomplished thus far;

My family and friends,

My work and coworkers—

They are that “all”

For which I am so grateful.

Likewise, my blogs,

I am thankful for having them

For giving me the platform:

To air my voice,

Share my perspective and creativity,

Sometimes I can’t help thinking that happiness is just a fantasy,

which makes contentment a reality.
