Listen to call of music playing
Echoing the harmony of life saying
Marvelous times enriching
Life in its citadels singing
Enriching life anew
Something to renew
Wonderment of human species
Calling to the specifics
Wondering and pondering
Surrendering to its notes
Communing in every joiner
Deepening touches of lives reminders

Waking up in the world full of colors and hues
Color schema in learning the walks of life
Artful crafts illuminating the simple clues
Nothing surely can lead to strife
Verbatim the knowledge
Marking in its steps of combination
Working like a steps as to ledge
Coloring the blank space a notion
Speck and span in our world illuminates
Every shade of gray , colorful hues of red and orange
Traversing times arriving in its pallets animates
Always cascading in all ranges
Moving much in the colors of realm deriving
World of life and love illuminating surely arriving

Crawling in its webs
Looking for preys
Lurking in the dark of night
Brightness in a day
Wishful things happening
A spider in its brooding
Awaiting meal for its life
Moving for the kill
A spider

“.. In low pursuit , know , prudent, cautious, self-coutrol is the Wisdom Root.”
A Bard’s Epitaph by Robert Burns
Worthy causes always in low pursuit
Always keeps one to know
Using much times of person’s prudent
Sitting in the life being cautious
Withstanding in all of self-coutrol
Redeeming in the life of Wisdom
Taking ways and means for the root
Life escapades written down
For life familiar times
Escribing in the age of bards’ reminder

Endless thoughts lingering in the hole of center
Universe speaking in the tightness of time
Lingering in the front and center
Of things surprisingly sometime
Wishful thoughts emanating to an existence
Writing the innermost thoughts in the face value
Indeed working in the core persistence
Looking at it as its par value
Longing after time space effect
The causal factors reflecting on notion
Listing on the motion confect
Anew time everlasting motion
A state of mind exhausting known possibilities
A future within written in past hooked sensibilities

Random prompt 2015 Poetry Marathon Prompt 23
Did i made something wrong
commendable act indeed
something in the lingering mind
looking beyond the walls of illusions
sizing up again and again
look in the eyes
shadow of doubts prevailing
walking the path to nowhere
amazing be amused
lingering doubt beholding
unfolding beyond the existence
belong no more
Playtime of all ages singing a song
Resonates each lines of it
Making things ringing a dong
Something doing to sit
Springtime of each counters
Reading the lines to a sharer
Marking in its encounter
Something to be an usherer
Pointing new direction
Seeing the driving point
A key hole to a section
A life in certain point
Looking beyond the contentment
Something derived from its sentiment

everwing playtime
using this time
sometime letting pass a time
no time wasted weighing option
letting some action
thinking about it in action
flying high to kill monsters
with dragons on the side
nothing is sinster
making it a global wide
still amusing
the musing
a time
for everwing
in no time
seeing the wings
again
again
again
Lingering in my mind
Reminding how a simple tree house
Singing songs and playing around it
Wondering time how beautiful life is
Serenity on each avenue
Taking times off the road
Secured grounds for our safety
Still missing much of it
Kindling in the heart of a child
Marvelous adventures reminding
Sharing thoughts in our moment
Singing out songs of our time a memory
Endless laughter unending love kindling
Meaning so much in a being rfreshing

The path of new ideas springing out
Pointing new direction count
Sting of new fount reaching out
Caught an instantaneous recount
Undertaking of new ideas set on
A path of new ideas springing out
Regaining new insights hype on
Reading the point sight out
Springboard of new delight in
Rudiments living spot on
The path of new ideas springing out
Deluge of new course on
Friends come and go out
New depth reaching the zone
The path of new ideas emerging out
Enriching life least on the comfort zone
