काग़ज़ की नाव / Paper Boat – Kaushal Kishore

 

बचपन में जो बारिश गिरती थी वह आज भी गिरती है,

आज भी सड़कों के किनारे जल-धारा वैसे ही बहती है…

लेकिन जिंदगी की आपा-धापी में सारे मज़े छूट चुके हैं,

सही पूछो तो हम काग़ज़ की नाव बनाना भी भूल चुके हैं…

⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵

The rain continues to fall as it did in days of our youth,  

Water also streams thru the streets, an enduring truth…

But in life’s relentless rush, amid the clamor and fray,  

We’ve lost the joy of making paper boats to sail and play…

.

♫ How Can I Be Sure? ♫ (Redux) | Filosofa’s Word

Since I have readers from all over the world, I decided to play all three … The Young Rascals, Dusty Springfield, and David Cassidy.  I have to confess that my headphones died in the middle of the first version and were still charging, so I did not get to listen to Springfield’s and Cassidy’s versions last night.  I love my wireless headphones, but I keep forgetting to charge them! Which version is your favourite?

May the Way I Live My Life Speak for Me | From Behind the Pen

Quite often we think about the things we’ve done, and the things we do, that can have an impact on the things which are to come, and decisions we may have to rethink for the future. In moments of quietude this morning, I sit here watching outside as the wind blows against a cloudy sky, amid the colossal devastation of images I think about. What’s going on with the wars around the world, the hurricanes and tropical storms wreaking havoc along the coastal plains, and the devastating wildfires and earthquakes sweeping across many lands is not far from my mind.

I often question my actions or inactions, wondering if I made the best and wisest decisions using the information I have along with the lessons I learned to condition my renewed awareness with decency, respect, and order. Beginning a new week, I must begin renewing my conduct, character, and conversation. There was an old hymnal that included the following words I sang in the Junior Choir growing up in church, “May the work I’ve done speak for me; may the life I lived speak for me. The work I’ve done, it seems so small, sometimes it seems like nothing at all.” I’m reminded of gratitude and a thirst for life!

No matter how big or small, it is my desire to make my portion of the world a better place somehow, sown with love, peace, joy, and encouragement. Everyone wants to leave their mark in life, I simply want mine to be constructive, courageous, and optimistically infused with genuine love. I think if we could look back on generations past, and reflect on the accomplishments as well as the mistakes or atrocities that took place, we can pick up the mantle and vow to do better, and be better human beings, humanitarians, the keepers for enhancing creation and contributors of hope.

Make this the most FANtabulous day everyone!

Now Available in Paperback!

 ON AUGUST 5, 2024

My short chapbook, Lunar Gazing Haiku, is now available in paperback on Amazon.com! The Kindle version quickly became a Amazon New Release in four categories after its release in June. I decided to go ahead and create the paperback version for those people who like hands-on books and to school myself in using the paperback services on KDP. My next release will come out in September, and I wanted to make sure I knew how to publish both the Kindle and paperback versions. I might even try creating a hardback one of these days!
