Reena’s Xploration Challenge #235

THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from“Do/Do Not”by Nisha Atalie:sniff, open, mouth, poison, paths, mountain, rainwater, dead, shiny, ducks, glittering, mangos

Sometimes, even I’m afraid

Of the things my mind comes up with

As I open my mouth, one never knows

If glittering sayings or poison ivy comes out

The paths of discovery is amazing

Sniffing rainwater or ripe mangos

One never knows until one tries

Sometimes, even I’m afraid

Climbing mountains or any challenge

All the struggles and hindrance

There is always pros and cons

Of the things my mind comes up with

Shiny truth or reaching a dead track

Could be rewarding, could be frustrating

Birds still fly, ducks quacking

As I open my mouth, one never knows

Our mind’s brilliant with random thoughts

Connecting things and memories

All the secrets we keep, heartaches and pain

If glittering sayings or poison ivy comes out*
