It Is What It Is

In a room alone, suddenly you see two bright eyes peeking inside.
But vigilant eyes find only a sheath of light. 
Still you wonder ……it is what it is or…………..is it?           

Going up on thirteenth floor in an elevator.
Look up and you know it would surely shoot up in the sky. 
Landing safely…….you wonder…..it is what it is or………is it?

Walking through will-o'-the-wisp and creaking woods.
You realize someone is walking behind.
Turn back and find no one around.
Shuddering badly you wonder ……it is what it is or…………..is it?

When your love for swimming makes you dive.
Deep inside, you see bubbles all around.
And those scary water creatures waiting to trap.
But then you see calm and clear water.
Still you wonder ……it is what it is or…………..is it?


Scary Cumulonimbus clouds morph like billowing sea.
And that flying ship sailing over your head!
Blinking your eyes……you wonder ……it is what it is or…………..is it?

Was difficult one to imagine. I wanted to make a tongue twister...then I saw a beautiful plane sailing in dense clouds..I felt that sea is over me.. It was beautiful :) Thank-you so much for your kind appreciation. Wishing you and your family a very prosperous, hale and hearty year ahead. HAPPY NEW YEAR
