Coloring the life with rainbow hues
Handsome persona captivating
Attracting without trying hard
Reason enough to fall a pray to
My heart is learning to fly without wings

I’m curious; what’s in this envelope
My inquisitiveness is pushing me to take a peek
The prudence wants to step back and let it be
Life is like a sealed envelope for us in the beginning
Revealing its secrets to us gradually, one at a time
But sometimes the envelope remains sealed till the very end
And it’s only when we are done with most of our living
That the secret of what life is all about is unveiled to us
A sealed envelope though tempting/ inviting us to open
Can very be like Pandora’s box, that, once opened
Spills out things that we wished were still hidden!

Here’s what to do:
Write a poem using ONE of the portraits above painted by Thorvald Hellesen, as your inspiration. There is no required form for the poem. Be sure to give credit to Hellesen by listing his name, the name of the portrait chosen and date it was painted.

A gentleman sitting at leisure
Expressions pensive, reflective
Perhaps thorny problems irking
Or trouble with home and love life
A person may appear at ease, relaxed
But there may be storms raging inside
Judging a book by its cover, we may fall short
Look into his heart or mind, we cannot

The gift of being kind, good-natured
Pays endless dividends all through life
People like you because you’re easy to get along with
But they can also use you, and exploit you
Perhaps because they take you for granted
Being good-natured should never become a weakness
It should be your strength, a wall that protects you
Build it for yourself, and let it be an invisible shield

We judge people harshly, based on our perception of them. Everyone has a chance to be a better person and by putting labels on them we rob them of a chance at redemption.

The sunset glow opens the doorway
A doorway to the past which
I had kept firmly closed for a while
Some memories that were to be kept hidden
To be cherished like a treasure
Only to be enjoyed when nostalgia strikes
Memories of the sweetest, rarest moments
That may lose some of their charm if relived
………Once too often

Here she lies
Under the shade
Of the tree she planted
And nurtured lovingly
Here she rests in eternal peace
So please be respectful and mindful
And don’t litter because she won’t like it at all!

Connecting with my child
Bending down to his level
Making him feel understood
I do all that I have to as a mom
And pray that he understands
When I fail as a parent, as we all do
That I’ve always tried to be my best
And that my love for my child has
No other parallel except the love of God

Don’t go to a museum with a destination. Museums are wormholes to other worlds. They are ecstasy machines. Follow your eyes to wherever they lead you…and the world should begin to change for you.”
– Jerry Saltz
As a kid I thought museums were boring. As an adult I find them mesmerizing. History preserved through objects, art and other mementos is just fascinating to explore.

When we own our culture and heritage, we admit to having roots that reach deep into the portals of time and connect us to several centuries of what we were, where we came from and in a way it shows us where we will go from here.
Lahore fort and Badshahi mosque. You can see a miniature model of Taj Mahal handcrafted by a local artist.
Relics of Buddhist culture in Taxila Museum near Rawalpindi.
AyaSofia in Istanbul, the famous blue mosque, and the topkapi palace museum in Türkiye. ( Previously known as Turkey)
A few pictures of historic places visited in the USA. A few shots of art in Port Angeles, Washington state, Smithsonian Museum, Washington DC, and Lady Liberty, New York.

Welcome back to another Sunday Poser
This week my question is;
By old ways I mean using a wristwatch, using a diary to keep appointments, or a calendar hanging on the wall to note events that you’d like to remember.
All this can be easily done by your smartphone. But some people prefer to do it with a paper and pen.
I do wear a watch! Always have. Though recently a fitness tracker has taken its place. But I’ll still flick my wrist to check the time. On my bedroom wall a calendar is hanging on it I’ve circled important appointments and events. For taking notes I do use the phone but for my A to Z challenge, I noted down all the topics in a small notebook.
What do you prefer in your daily life? High tech gadgets keeping a record of your routine or you like to do it manually?
Please share your thoughts in the comments section or you can write your own post and link it to this one so that I can find it.
As usual, thanks of visiting and reading.
