PROMPT #174

• 

No hurry

No curry 

No worry

The Wise man said

No curry

No hurry

I could comply 

But

No worry

Not in my hands, as

Life was ready with

It’s googlies

And

I never learned

How to play

With age came

Experience

I learned

Problems will be there

But

I’s your attitude

What counts

So 

Stopped reacting

And

Learned to

Respond

With patience and

Care

Life

Still throws googlies

But

As it goes

‘One who keeps cool wins in the end.’

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #150- ILLUSIONS

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #150

Prompt- ILLUSIONS

Let it be a theme for the week’s writings. It may not necessarily be about privacy, but the various illusions we live under, and which actually make life bearable. Knowing too much would debilitate our sense of individualism, independence, achievement, or glory. It is actually a happy bubble we live in.

Life from now onwards

Never be same again

Illusions busted

myths are broken

That mankind is superior to all creatures

a tiny virus crushed us all 

 

VJ’s Weekly Challenge #100: Pause

VJ’s Weekly Challenge #100: Pause

( for someone who ended his life, he might have been desperate but what about his father and sisters and all relatives and friends, who were very proud of him)

perhaps

a timely pause

before taking the final leap

could have changed

your perspective

does your decision

to end your life

affects only you

or your dear ones

who put their faith in you

stand by you

accepting all you whims

supported you

you died only once

they will die

a thousand deaths

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #138

I wish life can be that simple

the world is a stage

and we are the mere players

then we can blame

the producer, director, writer

all in one in this case

with no responsibility

of our acts

as we are just puppets

where someone else is pulling

the strings

and sleep comfortably

but if it’s

my life my rules

then the whole responsibility lies on us

for our choices

our decisions

our action

our reactions

take the full credit and

exit

with full contentment

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #110

 

It is in the darkest hour that

when I vent out my frustrations

after crying my heart out

or

by pouring everything on a paper to tear it and throw

of course at night

when no one sees or notices

I feel rejuvenated

as venting

blows away  the dirt

trying to pollute my mind

A light sneaked in the darkness

telling me

that

‘giving lots of  benefits of doubt’

to other 

makes 

life

more compatible.

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #108

‘Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave ‘

I know

I can’t change

anything in this world:

anything which is fake 

or

the attitude of people towards life,

towards the environment, poverty, religion

and their consumption of nature’s gifts

without sharing equally

I do not approve

either

nature’s law of death

why make people

in old age

vulnerable

why not they can keep

their innocence, fearlessness, and cheer

like a child

till the end

then let death come

with all its novelty

to carry on nature’s law

and allow them to  go slowly, gently, peacefully, graciously

down, down, down into the darkness of the grave

I wish I could say: 

and I’ve not resigned

but

what ho!

I have no power

no voice

no choice

though

I make a lot of noise

but here I resign.

What else can I do

except changing myself

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #105

 

only if I knew it then…

maybe I would have revised some decisions
or
traded carefully in tough situations
or
had been less impulsive
0r
whatever…

but one thing is sure

it would have  taken away

all the thrill from my life

would have hampered my growth

knowing beforehand is not profitable

always

it shackles you sometimes

life would have been like reading

a mystery book
or
a movie knowing

the end beforehand

 

 

Nurturing Thursdays- Talk to Yourself
