Unknown, Unseen

A garden unknown, unseen that lives in my dreams    where hope grows against the light against the sun and wind fuelled by a seed unknown, unseen   where the nectar is not devoured by the bees but grows to sweetness unknown, unseen   where gardeners arrive with sharp tools, then smile they know the … Continue reading Unknown, Unseen

Wounded

I don’t know which way to look - whom to cheer and whom to jeer. The hubris of the majority hurts the minority pride, but they have no option other than making conciliatory sounds. It helps long-term interests, and they arrive at a new, peaceful manner of co-existence. Suddenly they find that new dividing lines … Continue reading Wounded

Pain Ineffable

Loneliness stems not from being alone, but not being understood. Am I ignored because my ‘being different’ created discomfort? Do I need to shed authenticity to gain acceptability? In a flash, I know why yogis meditate in the mountains, and not inside their homes. Enlightenment does not flow from trees or rivers. They are misfits … Continue reading Pain Ineffable

Only twilight is real

greys overpower black and white -colors merge on horizons -challenge vocabulary -wordsmith genius pales under their brilliance   laboured breathing of amorphous identities makes one fear the end is near -till shapeshifting masks replace the face     We’ve reached an age where only twilights are   real…. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2019/10/26/weekend-writing-prompt-129-twilight/
