The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS July 4/2020

"Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “toss.” Use it any way you’d like." As we toss and turn in the rapids of life, We are chiselled fine. Life, It teaches us many a lesson, In rapid fire and fast, We lose some and gain some, As we sway in rapid torrent, We…

Thursday photo prompt: Dream #writephoto

I dream to see a dream, It is the place unseen, It is the time that has never been, It is an endless quest, Leading to faraway horizons. A splash of dancing hues, A fragrant ecstasy, A verdant lush, Inviting, Inciting my animated soul. I walk fearless and brave, For nothing can shackle my pace.…

Pages

Pages of life turn one by one, Torn and tattered with time, Folded with love umpteen times, Earmarked, Underlined, Telling a new tale. And some torn off in anguish, Scattered trails in wisps of time, Blown away by stormy tempests, But the lacuna remains, The tale incomplete. The recesses hold dried blossoms, That imprint memories…

Tiny flame

A tiny flame, Flickered, Buzzed, As drops of water wet its wick. It fluttered many a time, Gasping, Whizzing, And suddenly shone bright. But a gust of wild wind arose, The tiny flame now bright, Waltzed to its whistling music, Swinging to and fro, A baited breath, It might let go. But, The little flame,…

Not known

What days are these? Each day comes with figures surging of people afflicted and dying. One cyclone devastated lands and another followed soon. The earth rumbles and trembles too. Now only a deluge is awaited. And young people full of life and reaping success taking their lives ! My heart trembles. We as a human…

Thursday photo prompt: Secret #writephoto

The silver key, Etched sublime, By Life's fine hand, A custodian to Life's cache, That is weathered, Seasoned by Time's travails. Shielding her inner self, From the stormy tempests, And wailing gales, For it would not unlock the door, That opened into the caverns of her heart. It hid the dazzling beauty inside, It shaded…
