PROMPT#244

WHO AM I?

Why waste your time

Why worry day and night

In search of

‘WHO AM I’

What if you learn

You are not body and mind

but 

A soul

Will it help you to live and survive

Save your breath and energy

There is no dearth of problems in life

Live and let live

Make hay while the Sun shines

God doesn’t help one 

Who whines and resigns

What do you see # 148 – August 22, 2022

Flowers for newcomers

How I wish 

When you face the world

You find

Pollution, disease-free environment

A world full of trees

Enough fresh water

No threats of war

And

Loving and caring

Human beings

From the peak

Keep it alive

August 17:

Writer’s Quotes Wednesdays (a Photo or Writing Challenge)

Mountains, Majestic 

Dominating, Landscape

Permanent and Challenging

Asking us to dare to conquer them

Just to stand on the top and see


How the world looks like from up there!



Man always is intrigued by a challenge

Wants to show himself that he has it

The guts and chutzpah to overcome it

But in reality the only mountain he has to conquer

Is the one that’s inside of him all along!

A wish and a prayer for us all.

May we all overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our success. Amen

Written for;WQW #31: Mountains – Nature’s Peace, hosted by Marsha

Also included; MLMM- Sunday confessionals- Quotes

Transgression

Transgression

Reena Saxena

it’s so easy to cross boundary lines
behave like you own the place
own people, own minds and lifestyles
demonstrate superiority
you were born privileged
to lord it over others

privilege of birth
status, money or just
-an assumption that others
should fall in line
because everybody you know
has always done so
-and everybody else will always do
It’s something you are used to
And can’t see any other cue

Then, one day
someone turns back
and asks who you are
if you’ve taken
requisite permission
before the transgression
and all hell breaks loose..

you don’t know how to respond
you’ve never met anyone so …
defiant or irreverent
with a personality
and clear boundary lines

the only way is to yell
all your way to hell
blame, criticize, accuse
tarnish, mentally abuse
Who will believe the newcomer
in your established terrain?

wait till Karma pours justice
wait till…

Reena Saxena

Who can send me this blank envelope? Is it a creditor wanting acknowledgement of some sort to ensnare me in a recovery trap?

They’ve been on the prowl for some time. But I’ve already lodged a complaint with the cybercrime cell about identity theft. I have not taken the loan they want me to repay.

I refuse to take delivery.

I’ve now stopped living by imposed value systems or identities. I’m not absconding, just asserting my real self.

Last year, someone found an old camera in the attic with an undeveloped reel. It belongs to a previous generation. I don’t know why they left the camera roll inside.

Is it a message? Are there hideous secrets waiting to be exposed?

Who is interested anyway?

Don’t we overestimate ourselves, when we want to leave things for posterity? A message will lose relevance in a different context. If they want to reinvent…

One Woman's Quest

The gambler puts in fifty-cents
expects hundreds in return;

a simple flick of the wrist
and abundance will be his.

I feel like a slot machine:
paying dues for minimal input.

Tells himself there is more
to be had, if luck runs his way;

walks away from the richness
of family, joy of friendships –

Id’ be a slot machine for him
if love equated with money

Dreams of possibilities beyond
his daily reach, a fast track plan:

fortune is calling, palm itching
just one more roll of the die –

The die has been cast here;
no longer willing to gamble.

One more momentous win,
a promise to share the wealth;

what more could any woman want
from a man – half an empty dream?

Took a chance, myself once,
thought he was my windfall

guess, in the end, all gamblers lose.

(Originally penned Gambler in July, 2016…
