In summer

Awareness, Poetry, prompts 
Beneath the shade of Bunyan tree
Away from the blazing hot summer sun 
The lily floating unconcernedly in the pond
Invites me to reflect on the paradox of life
Pure and exquisite it thrives in murky waters 
Sometimes even in the swamps of mud and slime
Yet it remains pure, untouched by the muck around it
Can we too remain pure, surrounded by the grime of immortality?

➰➰➰

Written for;Tuesday writing prompt, use the words summer, lily, and pond in a piece of writing

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  8. what great reflections Sadje as we continue the swim in clear and murky water!
    great line:
    “Sometimes even in the swamps of mud and slime
    Yet it remains pure, untouched by the muck around it”

    reminds me of the water at our lake that is alive and thriving with algae.. ha but we need more water! 💖
