Most spoke of the low but omnipresent rumble of water, or its dulcet lap against a hull, but that was not how he missed the sea. There’s a huge difference between the view of a fisherman, and a tourist on the beach. Tourists have never had the privilege of befriending water, manipulating it, cutting through … Continue reading Forgiveness

The Upside Of War
the upside of war …. by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #128
every negative situation
has the power
to become a positive force
for cultural shift
lives are lost
but lives will be saved
in the future
from what we learn
life’s path
takes a different turn
our day to day changes
becoming a new reality
gleening a possibility
of hope in this evil’s demise
in the following days
it begins during these troubled times

The brand storyteller rambles on incessantly, “Let the world know who you are and what you can do.” I feel the warmth when they think they have a new follower, but see expressions freezing when they see I can lead. “You are targeting the wrong set of people”, says my mentor. There is yet another … Continue reading Safety

Presentiment
Presentiment …. by Punam
She sat in rapt attention
at the open air midnight soiree
enthralled by the elegance
of the lyrical verse flowing
from the mystic poet’s lips
bathing her parched soul
with a longing so intense!
when his ballad spoke of
death and parting
it creased her delicate brow
and for a heart-stopping moment
she was awash
with a feeling of deja vu
as if listening to her own
obituary, many moons ago
when the amethyst sky was suffused
with a million celestial bodies
yet the eerie cawing of corvids could be heard
as her soul had ascended the heavens!
shuddering involuntarily
she came back to the present
was it a dream, a nightmare
or a premonition
of the tragedies to befall!
she yearned for days of tranquility
