Let Your Aspirations Bloom

Merry Christmas to all my Poetry Soup Friends and Members with a wonderful 
Photo of new born Jesus published around 1960 in an American Poetry book purchased by me second hand around 1967 which I still keep as a Treasure for me. I am also giving a small poem originally written in Hindi as a Muktaq ( A form of Hindi Poetry)

"Muktak - The distinction of poetry in which there is no preconception of the things described"

Hindi Muktak in English- 

"Let all your aspirations and desires 
Bloom and bloom freely in your mind
Who knows, when life began to smile again for you
Flowers of your wishes would sprout only, if you have aspirations, 
Otherwise, nothing comes from nothing."

What a pleasant surprise dear friend PD. A joy so unique to see you again on PS. I am not a Premium member because PS could not entertain my 2years bank draft sent from India in June July 2017 and decided not renew it for at least one year. More on your Page by tomorrow as I am not in Kanpur today. Love and best wishes always....

Thanks Sneha for your visit on my page. It is nice to see you after a long time, as my membership bank draft was not accepted by Poetry Soup and that my draft was not even returned by them to me. So I decided remain an ordinary member for two years. Merry Christmas Sneha. More on your Page soon. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra K Kapoor
