Bird songs are changing. The voice, pitch and content might all acquire new dimensions. Twitter has got a new owner. The birds outside my window chirp in their usual urgent tone, demanding food. I cater to their needs quickly. They give me hope. Silently, I bless the birds and pray they are not overpowered by … Continue reading Tweets and Blue Skies

Life of commuters
Three fourth of life spent on the road
Home sweet home awaits
Somewhere always leaving arriving ….by Artie & Stu
Deconstruction imploding outside text
only alone standing alone
dominating the subversive paradigm
the chords are all
one song without beginning
without ending without finality
searching further transformation and
putting pieces back together.
ephemeral shadows briefly connect to influence, then disappear In vastness of the planet mortal beings go their own way not knowing what touched them -become fractals, not fractions we wonder how populations across the world take the same directions It’s not just the media -small energies intersect, overlap influence, transform to create new patterns Individuality … Continue reading Significant

Criss-cross … by moondustwriter
standing in a corridor
just too many feet
ebb flows with humanity
no elemental beat
cross contamination

In the sea of humanity …. by Sadje
The image given above is your prompt for the week. Write whatever comes to mind.
In the sea of humanity
Milling around like directionless molecules,
We each try to find our identity, our place
Realizing our insignificance, yet knowing our uniqueness
Each of us is cognizant of our importance, real or imagined
Like tiny ants we go about purposefully on our missions
Are we, each of us
Are making any difference?
Or are we deluding ourselves
That we are doing something worthwhile?
