When blood becomes stranger,

when teardrop becomes stain,

when denial becomes acceptance,

when open doors become shut forever,

when trust becomes thorns,

when truth becomes textured fantasy,

when life becomes lost memory,

In that one moment,

I realise,

that whole life was a lie.

I am blessed
I am blissed
to feel it still
in me
in you
in droplets of air
in …everywhere
no reasons at all
no sounds to speak
no skin to wear
no secret to bare
when
all of now
all of me
is in this one moment of you

Reena’s exploration challenge ~ in that one moment;

I am ~ free verse

on my way yesterday – a rainy day

in that one moment 
when snow turns into rain
the trees smile
Nature gets ready for the Spring party
flowers, birds songs, lots of sunshine
i feel lightness in the air

after the harsh winter
rain feeds the soil and the roots
Earth fragrance is wonderful
the sun wakes up earlier and goes to sleep later
bicycles and skates are everywhere
garden preparations must start
flowers and vegetable beds

it’s time for renewing
both soul and body
in that one moment
when snow turns into rain
thank you, Nature, for the opportunity
to start over and enjoy your gifts

What is a moment?

A spec of time, of no importance

But it has the power to change a life

It can be a moment of great discovery

Something that would open your eyes

Sudden realization hitting you like a gale-force wind

Shaking your foundations to the core of your being

Mine was one such event that showed to me

That together with my family I can be the

Strongest shield against the world if need be

Protecting, giving sanctuary in time of distress

Standing firm for one of us when they are weakened

I never knew I had the strength till I was tested

Adversity made me and motherhood stronger

Like a lioness I am ready to protect my children

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT; GIFT OF NEW LIFE

Pacing up and down the hospital corridor, I waited nervously for the doctor to call me in to the theatre.
My wife was about to give birth but the doctors had to prepare her for her cesarean section.
After what seemed like an age, a doctor finally came out and beckoned me in.
A screen had been erected between me and the section to allow for some dignity for my wife but…
