I dream of a cozy cottage, painted all white
Tucked in at the back, away from the beaten track
To live there in peace with a few worldly possessions
And see the days go by at my own pace

This week’s theme is mystery and the picture is below. Here is the song snippet from “Building A Mystery,” a 1997 song by Sarah McLachlan.
‘Cause you’re working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you’re working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
~*~
Put on your thinking hat and try to unravel this mystery
Why the stars twinkle or air shimmers in the heat
Where does the rainbow end if not in a pot of gold
Or you can solve some mundane mysteries that often plague us
Why we get up early on a holiday and miss the alarm on weekdays
Why when we are free to do as we please, we can’t think of anything fun
And when we are overburdened with work, we get a million ideas
If you ever have an answer please do share with me
These puzzles have had me scratching my head

PROMPT 152
“I am a museum full of art, and a deck full of music, but …..”
~*~*~*~*~
The knowledge of the universe resides in my mind
I am a museum full of art and a deck full of music
But who will listen or look at all this priceless treasure
When the people are busily involved squandering their lives
In trivial pursuits and meaningless efforts that never yield
Any fruit other than personal gratification and gain
Who will?

I am sharing this post from 11September 2019 as a part of Fandango Friday Flashback Challenge.
~*~
The plight of human race is hard to see
Let me help you out of this mess
A bit of leg up can help you escape
Get out of here while you still have time
Ascend the clouds and move to
Regions where life is sustainable
The heat is going to be unbearable soon here
The air, water and food soon will be
Unfit for consumption and poisonous
Now is the time to get out alive
The only consideration is , where will you go?
~*~

Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge
Today’s prompt: Write a piece of prose or poetry that ends with “in the end, we were just a moment”.
<^><^><^><^>
We lived a thousand years in this world
A millennium has passed, centuries have gone by
Time went by in the blink of an eye
In the end, we were just a moment
<^><^><^><^>

Admittedly, we all are different
Our lives and circumstances are different
No two people have life exactly the same
Yet we are all connected to each other
Emotions shared with empathy and understanding
We feel the joy of others and laugh with them
We even clown about to make a sad friend smile
Or shed tears when we see a tragedy happening
It is heresy in my opinion to divide people
On the basis of race and religion or color of skin
Though there’s no quick fix to the problem of racism
We can nip this evil in the bud when others try to divide us

Welcome to “Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge.”
The image below is from the Google Hub Photo Frame.
For the visually challenged writer, the photo is of a street lamp on the Westminster Bridge in London, looking toward Big Ben and the House of Parliament, which are enshrouded by a heavy fog.
~*~
The fog had enveloped the scene in moments
All sound was hushed as if in awe of this phenomenon
He stepped on the bridge looking for her
She had promised to meet him here at five sharp
But try as he would there was no sign of her
Disappointed, he turned back to leave when
Someone tapped him on his shoulder and whispered
Leaving so soon, you had so little faith in my promise
His delighted smile and warm embrace told her all she wanted
The fog and cold couldn’t penetrate the warmth of their love

Home Sweet Home
~*~
Home is where we feel safe, it’s a place of refuge
It is where we take off the masks that we wear
And reveal our true selves hidden from the world
Home a place where the need to pretend stops
Where we kick off the shoes to walk barefoot
A welcoming haven, a warm embrace
Home sweet home where you feel that you belong!

This week’s theme is rainbow and the picture is below. Here is the song snippet from “She’s A Rainbow,” a 1967 song by the Rolling Stones.
She comes in colors ev’rywhere
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
~*~
I see life in rainbow hues
Sepia tints and monochrome don’t work for me
With so many emotions in my heart
How can I express them without colors

The travails and hardships of life exhaust me
I journey into the imagination to seek serenity
It’s never on schedule, and it is never as I expect it
It’s sometimes surprising, sometimes riveting
An eclectic mix of wonderful and ridiculous
Helps me to nurse my energy and mood back to normal
