No, not again will you get the opportunity To destroy the harmony that I have established Between my heart and mind with such an effort
Nor will I allow you to put doubts in my mind I won’t succumb to your promptings and whispers I am now finally at a place where I am at peace
At last my heart and mind are in rare sync The consonance between the two halves of my soul complete The conflict resolved as they both understand each other
A garb of white, hiding all my imperfections The expressions beatific and smiling
Never would I let the darkness inside me show My sins beyond the surface, only I know To the world, I am a saint In my heart I know I am a sinner The darkness of my heart and deeds Is camouflaged by the perfect exterior Hypocrisy is my trade, I’m worse than evil For I project what I am not I hide my sins in a blanket of virtue
Hypocrisy has become acceptable in today’s world. We never think of saying something and doing the opposite as not right! A pause is needed here to re-evaluate our attitudes.
The wind rustles through the fir trees And I hear the sound of millions of raindrops falling The ground below is covered with fallen needles My footsteps crunching as I walk along This place of serenity and quietude holds its breath A pause in the busyness of life, a reminder That life has to be seen, savored and enjoyed
Searching for clues Baffled by the mask he wore There was frost in his words But warmth in his thoughtful actions The oscillation between Love and indifference Was tearing her into two The actions of her significant other Was it deliberate or sub-conscience projection?
2021 is almost over. Another 3 weeks to go and then it’ll be time to welcome 2022!
We are invited to share how we did this year that’s ending. Although I cannot say that something spectacular happened this year, the mere fact that nothing bad happened is wonderful news to share.
I think as the clock is moving on the time the pandemic has been here, most people are learning to accept it as a part of their lives for some time to come. Wearing masks, getting booster shots, and avoiding congested venues are becoming second nature for many. It’s the case for me and my family.
Thankfully we all have stayed healthy and Covid free since it became a part of our lives. In fact, I personally have fallen less sick of flu, etc because of wearing a mask whenever I’m out of my home.
I recently celebrated my 60th birthday, and I consider it a big thing. And I bought a fancy camera as a birthday gift.
I hope you all stay safe and healthy and the new year would be better for us all, Amen.
Take care my friends and stay healthy.

Today’s Tuesday Writing prompt: For this Tuesday, I just want to see how everyone’s doing. If you’re doing great, let’s hear about it. Success should be shared! If you’re not, and want to talk about it, drop it in the comments and let’s share some positivity.
The golden rays of the sun bending and slanting more Bit by bit the days shorten and the nights lengthen From sizzling hot the temperatures fall and the air cools down The trees around me are changing their colors From brilliant green they turn golden, brown, rust and orange Now the mornings are a bit foggy and chilly And the nights are made warm and cozy by log fires

Tuesday Writing Prompt;Write a poem about fall. Seasonal changes, favorite home cooked recipes, favorite family activities, whatever you like. It just has to be fall-centric.
Devil, disguised as temptation Lures me, entices me towards folly One little sip of sin One small transgression And you fall into its web Trapped for a lifetime Who will break the curse Of the devil’s kiss
