Unceremonious Separation #FictionMonday

The ash tree which stood majestically right outside Dana’s window showed signs of the impending change of season. In a few weeks, the tree would put on the prettiest shades of yellow and red, and soon will shed leaves revealing the branches in minimal covering.

She wondered if the tree felt somewhat shy in displaying its tentacles out in the open like that! Would it then crave for the company of leaves that blanketed the branches now, like she was craving for her favorite pals?

But then baring its soul is just a one season phenomenon for the tree. Unlike her, who was forced to coop inside her house since Spring brought new buds. The pandemic stopped her from visiting her favorite place, the library.

This new normal was stretching from season to season like the frigid limbs of a leafless tree extend with uncertainty as if it is frozen in time.

Dana’s heart ached to get back to the corridors of the library that held bookshelves carrying rows of books dear to her. She and her beloved companions would be separated for how many more seasons, who knew!

What I See #WordlessWednesday 93

photo, poem, poetry, Wordless Wednesday

Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, Colorado

Any picture I look at
a message I see,
engraved just for me

Vastness,
different paths leading to the same destination,
the choice to admire,
the choice to move forward,

Messages are plenty

My favorite among all
is a chance to reflect
when I look for these notes
from the Universe.

Do you see a message looking for your glance?

Journey #WordlessWednesday 92

raindrops trickling
leaves swaying
the road ahead glistening with rays of hope
this too, a slice of life!

Life isn’t always stitched with grief and sorrows. There are these beautiful moments that grace our solemn days making them a tad enticing. And often these little moments of joy appear in the midst of our journey just like that. They can be overlooked as we hurry to our destination or can be tucked in our memory reservoir for another day as a priceless moment of relish.

Twisted #FictionMonday

It was a beautiful morning. Lexi loved taking a stroll in her garden on such crisp mornings.

She spotted the new bloom of rose shyly sprouting in the garden next to her other cherished roses of different colors. This yellow rose was her latest accomplishment.

“Hey, you!” she ran her fingers over the little bud gently. ” Nice of you to join us. Welcome to my world, Daniel. Meet your predecessors Jake, Matt, Davis and Shawn. Shawn was my first.”

The soil where the roses sprouted hid the bodies of her dates safely.

I stood close by the church building admiring the beautiful day. A jolt of happiness enveloped me suddenly.

Indeed, today I’m happy beyond measure. I could feel those butterflies fluttering inside my stomach. After all, he is coming to see me today.

It was a long wait. I didn’t enjoy this never-ending wait. He had promised that he will come. But he failed to say when exactly. So I waited.

My intuition said that today is the day and it wasn’t a mere hope in vain. See, he is here. As soon as the ceremony is over, we will start our new life together, a life in eternity in this cemetery!

Something Imperfect #WordlessWednesday 91

I have been staring at this photo at intervals for the past 48 hours to come up with a couple of lines to accompany this capture. All in vain!

Every time I look at this picture my musings shift.

At first it gave me an ethereal feeling. On a second look, it gave me an eerie vibe. After that my mind is running back and forth between these two impressions.

Where is this picture taking you to? I’m curious to know.

i slash all the words in my head
- nothing fits the picture
perhaps, these unfitting words
are the ones that suit
this imperfect picture?

The blank page stared at him. It could very well be accepted as a sign to end his writing career before it even started. 
He sighed. 
A blank page is also a sign to write something, he decided. 
That was the beginning of his writing career.
