Back after a long time !! US ramblings

It definitely does not seem like yesterday . The last blog posting I made was a few years back . A lot of water has flown under the bridge as they say in these years . Hope to be more consistent going ahead as all my friends insist I should be ..:)

Here are a few poems I wrote during my recent trip to USA- coffee etc and its spelling etc did not bother me much...

The Statue

The great statue of liberty and enlightenment

Swinging with the winds and the changing times

Reminds

Us that freedom is not free

But it is important

To break the shackles

Both within and outside

That’s the time when

The real liberation

Happens

Both from within and outside

The internal outdated thoughts and patterns

The outside distractions and obstacles

And even screaming priorities

Its upto to you

To choose, select

Or just do a ctrl+alt+del

That’s creating your

Personal statue of liberty

That stands tall and mighty

In the ocean of life

Learning to Relax

I am learning to relax .

To look at things and not think .

To see and yet not reflect .

To enjoy the sun ,the wind ,the chill

and yet not dwell about any hidden meaning .

to simply live in the casualness of the Moment

and enjoy this beautiful

Journey called life that goes from one destination to another

 I Am learning to enjoy the moments

Without any learning  

Water..

By the Brooklyn water front and bridge

The water front resonates with me

the ripples are like the hundreds of thoughts coming to my mind time and again

some reach the shores

some don't or do they .

That's the mirror of the mind -the water front

There are embankments

And some open areas

We don't know when 

The flood happens though

Most of the times it's calm

Seemingly Calm

A thousand waves are created and broken

 in this calm Mind daily

My Selfie Moments

I have had my selfie moments with myself and my thoughts . Uninterrupted undiluted me .

That's working to understand the real me .

The stuff that I hide from myself

the things I just want to keep below the carpet

In the womb of time .

I wish they weren't there but they do gnaw

I better deal with them.

It's these selfie moments which show the real picture warts and all the blemishes sans make up that's what I sought

In the crowds of Manhattan

The cheers and claps at Broadway

The causal conversations and aimless walks there was an aim

For sure
