Choices-karma-choices

 I came for a reason

You came for a reason

in each other's life.

I picked some traits of you

And you picked some of mine.

Is what makes a difference 

as we live by our choices.


Choices can separate us

or can bridge the gap, unknown.

We might choose differently 

but will reap what has been sown 

in the beds of our karma

the seeds of the choices are laid. 

when the time is right and perfect

those choices will flower and bloom.


We pick a choice and think

It brings us power and freedom.

Delusional freedom, I must say.

A karma result is in action.

No freedom but we are slaves.

We are slaves of the choices 

we make day and night.

No choice in this world 

is damn-it WRONG or darn-it RIGHT.


Choices are karma 

and karma is choices.

journey: Ocean to Lake

 Have you seen a wave in the wilderness?

Crashing on the shores with its bubby smile. 

Gentle, Breezing, Chasing, Amazing

Bringing disgusting seaweeds but sometimes pearls it touts.

Dancing, prancing, acting this wave

one day brought tsunami in my town.

Screaming, shouting, abusing, scaring

This wave tore my world apart.

Left was nothing- some dead people, some broken houses

There was no shore, there was no wave.

I looked around, glad I found

Dancing, prancing, acting this wave

in a lake so deep so quiet, no whispers were made.

No more shores, no more crashing

This wave now living at the deepest point of the lake.

The wave has moved from ocean to lake 

The time is gone and the memories are made.
