Misunderstanding


Relations are so weak and fragile
It takes years to build them up
Watering, pruning and constant care
But it takes a moment to goof them up

However much one takes care
Not to hurt or annoy others
Misunderstandings develop all of a sudden
To their dismay who care for each other

Watch your words and how you conduct
Communicate so that doubts are cleared up
Even then one is understood in different ways
As are various minds and their different states

Emotions make or mar the show
Without emotions life is a joke
Indifference and listlessness suffocate and choke
Let emotions flow freely, why poke one's nose

Understanding is by far limited and conditional
Interpreting sameness in quite different ways
Universal understanding one should aim at
Viewing things differently, yet interpreting the same way

Unintended misunderstanding hurts a lot
How one interprets it was thought not
What we see and think, that we say
But that we don't perceive, it makes a difference

Interpretation or misinterpretation of things matters a lot
But what matters more is that eyes and minds we close not
Life is made rich and spicy, by good works that we do
And with some controversy and misunderstanding to which we all contribute!

  1. Vinod I just removed the temporary block on google plus. Your poems are getting better by the day and they carry such useful messages for life that they are in themselves a philosophy. Wish you you great success in building up a great collection and then compiling them in a book for the world hopefully. In a way it is good there are no pictures because they can be more easily copied and pasted in a word document. The picture interferes with the formatting while copying as I have faced in the past.

  2. Dear Ashok ji, Thank you very much indeed for forgiving me, and your highly encouraging comments which I deeply cherish from the bottom of my heart. It is all because of your constant inspiration and mentoring and guidance, that I am able to pen a few words. Now that you are back to help and guide me, I feel greatly relieved.
    Thanking you once again and with heartfelt Regards
