What stops you from living a fulfilling life?

Grief

or

greed?
Bipasha Dutt Aug 20
Who lives an unfulfilled life?

A miser

Or

A miserable person
In the wildest place,
my mouth stopped with stars,
I came to the end of words;
the parched mint, bitter
paper plank

where I lost my balance,
on one foot teetering
along that roadway where gold-
flashing fireflies stand effortlessly
on air

to send their fragile signal
out,
every night a nocturne
of one less
til I and the last firefly

danced alone
in the wildest place
sending our last ignition
out
to find our kind

or else fall quiet
and one
with the wild that
will neither be spelled
nor known.

luminous stars rise
night-blooming jasmine unfurls
'neath glimmering sky
across my face.

I saw spring coming
in the meadow
where the wildflowers
whisper to the wind.

found freedom on a snowcapped mountain top,

smiled to the child offering violets
cradled in her tiny hands

and when she smiles to me

her joy ripples like sunlight
across the sea of love.

the curtain is lifted.

the soul becomes visible

(always in the wild places
in my heart.)

You can't treat love
Only
As a Routine
Nor
Only
As a Romance
Either.

Love is
Beyond both...

It's REVERENCE

If love is only routine,
Routine that you stick to, like a habit,
You miss love's spontaneous feel

And if love is only romance,
Romance that's exciting and short-lived,
You miss love's steadfast quality

Routine, romance and reverence
Is as different as
Common sense,  cleverness and clarity
