Fleeting


Today’s WP Daily Prompt : Fleeting

 

From crib to grave

From knight to knave

From rags to riches

From riches to rags

From classrooms to boardrooms

From breeches to bridegrooms

From taught to teaching

From reading to writing

From still to beating

From bye to greeting

From loving to fighting 

From living to dying

From nothing to everything

From everything to nothing

From beaten to beating

From loving to hating

From craving to waiting

Time is fleeting 

Time  is fleeting….

So friends…..

I see me in a cozy house waving bye

To my mom as off to my school I fly

My sisters, my first best friends, and I 

Weaving together, a colored tapestry.

Mortal Human


Finite Creatures: At what age did you realize you were not immortal? How did you react to that discovery?

Having said that, I am afraid to just exist and stop living. To me, mortality is to stop living, stop feeling, losing intensity, losing the passion for living….  Continue reading

Play of Light : Refraction


This is a picture very dear to me.  Its my daughter on horseback taking part in a tournament where she was the youngest participant and the only girl. A proud moment in her young life. And mine.

The play of light capturing her against the sky is something that captured all the hearts of the entire family. A favorite pic…….

Rushing against time
Rushing against time

Always looking for the elusive minute,

Today I’ve been granted all of sixty of it!

Quick quick – What do I do!  What do I do?

Elatedly rushing come thoughts , so so and so!
