As the year ends

“No one dare say, this isn’t going to be our year”

We have enough of despondency and downheartedness

Now it is time to be positive and optimistic 

Let us all be hopeful that the new year will be brilliant 

Tonight is the finale of 2021, ending in the new year’s eve 

Tomorrow we will start 2022 with enthusiasm and zeal

Circumstances may not be in our control but our actions are

We will be kinder, more helpful and more thoughtful 

We will be more considerate of others, more inclusive 

And we will make it better than the last two years

I have included the following prompts;

“No one DARE say this is going to be our year!”

Brilliant

New
Year’s
Eve

Finale

A short journey

I am a tourist

Came here for a short visit

Will be heading back in no time

My journey on the highway of life

Is not only brief but also unpredictable

I don’t know when I will depart for good

I just wish that I can give finishing touches

To this journey‘s manuscript before the end time calls

To go peacefully into the dark is my dearest wish

➰➰➰➰➰➰➰

I have included the following prompts;

Dire

Challenge

 

~*~

Things are dire when the flag is at half-mast

We don’t know the way home and have succumbed

A victim to those dark whispers in our hearts

The loss of hope is our biggest defeat indeed

All that we see around us is despondency

Go on, pick up the fallen staff

It’s time to rekindle the flame

Labels- A repost

I am sharing another post from August 2019!

It was a poignant tale of cruelty 

People called her abnormal all her life

She was just lost trying to find her way

Who were others to judge her she asks

What is normal and what is not

Those mighty people trying to sit in judgment 

They need to look at their own lives first

One can be extraordinary and different 

There are no normal and abnormal people 

Stop putting labels on others

Look into your hearts to find compassion first

Poignant

Daily Prompts- Begone

Begone racism, scurry away to a dark corner

Where you and others like you belong

It is unfair, echoes the perfunctory sentiments

When faced with this deadly demon of inequality

Our words fall short of the experience that others feel

These typical responses won’t cut the deal this time around

We may be unready to herald this change right now

But the reality is that it’s way past the time for it

Take out the carcass of racism and bury it deep

Let not its’ specter escape, let’s get rid of it altogether

Daily Prompts- Sights and smells of past!

My memory often takes a walk in the past

The sights and smell of favorite places evoking redolence

Remembering the hustle and bustle of bygone days

Breath-less with excitement, running wild with happiness

Hand in the hand of that favorite uncle, who was simpatico

Cognizant of what a six year old would like to do

Taking me to the fair and letting me enjoy all that sticky food

In my memories I go a generation back when I was

A child myself, and not an aging relic that I am now

Daily Prompts- Forgotten

Her inky fingernails scribble on the canvas of life

What are her thoughts that she wants to tell us

Can you ascertain what goes on behind those eyes

That she has screwed shut against the ungracious world

Sitting under the antique pergola of deserted garden

She is waiting for someone to find her truth

Daily Prompts- Blessings

Trust and faith sometimes can be frangible

We pay penalty for losing hope with unhappiness

I would rather sing odes to the blessings which

I and my household are endowed with, innumerable

Nothing epic, all simple ordinary things I can count

But each and everyone one of them makes my heart stout

This gratitude starts the journey initially

And takes me to the road of marvelous discoveries

In response to the following prompts;

YDWP;

Frangible

Epic

Daily Prompts- A font of wisdom

He sits on that bench under the tree

Gently seeding young mind with wisdom

Children playing around him are now familiar

With his way of starting a conversation

He would come to their aid, his efficacy very valid

His knowledge a font of wisdom, a source of learning

It’s designed to help them unobtrusively without irritation

The children don’t even mind the occasional burp

Always looking for that gentleman in a purple shirt
