Windmills

Windmills in my head

Blowing the air in my hair this way and that

Wild ideas seldom making sense

But I am riding on my imaginary stead

Recklessly through the bush and bramble

Dislodging the fact and stories alike

Like husk falling from the grain

No need to lay thoughts sunder

I am sure to scatter them all across the table

Hey, wait a nebulous idea has just been born

In this jumbled up brain of mine

The fissures running through the reality

Bring the fascinating new thought to fore

I love when my mind goes on a bender

That’s when I get the best of my ideas

In addition to CCC I have included the following prompts in this post;

In the firelight

He garnered little twigs in a pile

Light up a fire to illuminate the site

Out here in the open there isn’t

A lamp to be lit, a bed to sleep in

Just him and his cat sitting in the autumn eve

A library book open to a dog eared page

Remembering the past with pain

Asking for clemency from his memories

What happened in the past never stays there

It haunts him in ways unimaginable

He is his own antagonist barring

Relief or solace from the guilt of past deeds

When will he forgive himself

So that others can do so too

Mirror Images

My mother told me, softy she recited under her breath

Standing and staring at her duplicate

The image reflected in the glass was her yet

There seemed to be a fundamental difference

The girl in the mirror was sad, unlike her

She appeared to have no self esteem

Maybe because the matchstick figure she desired

Was masked by a healthy covering of flesh

If she peeled back the layers like that of an onion

She would see the size zero model like thinness

That she craved but could not achieve

The native hunger residing in her heart

For being like “others” was destroying

What happiness and beauty was her natural gift

Softly, she repeated the mantra

And a smile spread across her face

Mother said that she was beautiful!

What’s up for today!

Getting up in the morning

Feeling upbeat and elated

Surveyed all that I see

Like a queen of the kingdom

There are no set antecedents

For me to adhere to, no shoes to fill

Making a sense of the jumble of thoughts

That accost me when I perceive

All that I have to accomplish

Stiffing my spine I get to addressing

Different chores that demand

My attention on this lovely day!

Come along for the ride

Riding my bicycle I dream of the future

The air streaming through my hair

I have a feeling of being in a pastoral garden

While riding in the middle of concrete jungle

The cushion of the seat feels like a plush throne

In my mind I talk to myself about my plans

Do you want to come along for a ride

Continental Breakfast

Anyone who has traveled knows that orange juice is a vital part of continental breakfast. It is served first thing in the morning , which is followed by hot bread rolls, or flaky croissants with butter and jam. Rounded up by coffee. There is a simplicity to this meal which keeps the breakfast light without too much cholesterol rich food. The emotional attachment some people have with eggs and bacon leads to elevate levels of fat in our bodies. Even if they go for a run in the yard after the heavy breakfast that they consume, it doesn’t helps much in attaining good health.

First, Orange, Yard

Word of the day Challenge;

The star 🌟

The elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor with a lurch. He was here but reluctantly. His sister had begged him to come and meet this special girl who she thought had great musical talent.

He looked at the young girl, ”So this is the precocious talent you are trying to promote” There was a sardonic twist to his lips and boredom in his voice. Silvia understood his point of view. It was very common for friends and family to approach him with requests of giving their child a chance. He was a world-class musician after all. But she remained unfazed. She was convinced in her mind that once he would listen to Jackie playing the piano, he will be convinced that she indeed is a genius in making. He only needed to assimilate the magnitude of this little girls talent.

Without saying another word, she gestured to Jackie to play her piece. As soon as the notes of piano hit his ears he was captivated.
