Reena’s Xploration Challenge #177 – see the whole wide truth

See the whole wide truth ……by Lady Lee

ladyleemanila's avatarLadyleemanila

Don’t be frightened to see the whole wide truth

Not by denial or closing one eye

Shine a light on you child, enjoy your youth

Things happen for a reason, don’t know why

So just enjoy the ride for miles and miles

Be enlightened come what may, don’t be shy

Sometimes high, sometimes low, accept trials

Have to reconcile all contradictions

With some stat, we’d do it with own styles

We’re entitled to live, that’s our mission

Just don’t be rude and cause pain to others

We all have different definitions

Open our eyes and see all life’s wonders

Even if the journey’s not that smooth

See all the flaws, cultures and colours

We’re only human, we don’t know the truth

We could only try but then we could sigh

The right way or not, and then we could choose

So in the end it’s up to us to choose

Making A Wise Decision

A wise decision ….. by Larry

larry trasciatti's avatareastelmhurst.a.go.go

‘

dVerse

‘Everyone’s life has a

Bunch of knots,’

Deasy told Brennan.

‘Smart fellow chooses

His knots wisely.’

‘Besides which,’ Brennan replied,

‘He has to be wary of

Knots others try to

Foist upon him.

Those are never the

Right ones.

They can never

Be untied.’

Threads

threads tied on branches of a revered tree promise wish fulfilment the tree awaits return of seekers to untie knots In gratitude the tree awaits disentanglement to sort out good from bad It has given away non-judgementally A need to be fair unfulfilled ….. https://dversepoets.com/2021/03/22/quadrille-124/

Foggy minds

moss gathers on experience etched on bodies yet flowers bloom to make a crown freshness of ideas preserve youth judgemental fogs sometimes blur vision -miss the difference https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2021/03/22/what-do-you-see-74-march-22-2021/

तू नज़र आता है

English translation in Comments

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

ऑंखें बंद कर लूँ तो भी तू नज़र आता है
टूटे आईना-ए-अना में तू नज़र आता है

हुई मुद्दत हमें तेरा विसाल किये हुए
फिर भी हर कल्पना में तू नज़र आता है

कोई हमसे पूछे क्या मज़ा है जलने में
परवाना हूँ शमा में तू नज़र आता है

कभी तो तू छत पर नज़र आ ज़ालिम
यूँ तो चन्द्रमा में तू नज़र आता है

मिलता है हर शख़्स देने तसल्ली अमित
या हर सांत्वना में तू नज़र आता है

What do I see

What do I see? ……… by Ramya Tantry

Ramya Tantry's avatarAnd Miles to go before I sleep...

What do I see..
What I want to see
Or is it the reality..
What do I see..
Layered truths
Or layered lies..
What do I see..
A seperate sense of me
Or a sense of ego in me..
What do I see..
A souless me..

Lost

A compass to help me navigate through labyrinthine corridors of the mundane ….. un-peeling layers of incisive thought Maybe, I’ll never get lost again after that…. never be blamed for not having a sense of direction for not remembering routes I pass through every day for the mind will be less busy more focussed on … Continue reading Lost

Shape of orbits

“You have no choice. Deliver on this parameter, or find another job.”  Why are you surprised when the attrition rate increases? The orbits you build around you are sharply angular, not smoothly elliptical. When you say there is no choice, you actually give them a choice to continue or quit. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/03/20/weekend-writing-prompt-201-orbit/
