Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 14 in Shadorma

Empathy
Wear my heart on sleeve
Honesty
Generous
What comes around, comes around
I’m me, no pretence

Be curious
Follow gut instinct
Travelling
My career
All experience, good or bad
Learning the lessons

My future?
Him Indoors always
Together
We’ll make it
With son and wife plus my Mum
Challenges we take

Simple things
Happy and content
See the world
Experience
Life is good and wonderful
Counting my blessing

the old tune
fingers touch the keys
arthritis
pain playing
doesn’t hinder her to play
memories still there

love and lost
challenges and hope
youth that was
hurt she felt
every note tells a story
that her life is lived

Sunday Writing Prompt #229 “Collage 37” in Triolet and Shadorma

Who am I really, I don’t know
For I am as complicated
And colourful as a rainbow
Who am I really, I don’t know
I could be serious or shallow
I could dream away or grounded
Who am I really, I don’t know
For I am as complicated*

No one knows
Who we really are
Hidden us
Unaware
And sometimes surprising us
Of what we could do**

Weekend Writing Prompt #29 – Moonstruck – Ragtag – Wanderlust in Shadorma

be in love
world full of roses
Him Indoors
wavy sea
world falls apart without him
to love and to hold

remember
the Revolution
I was there
in ocean
with groups of idealist
from different places

heavy heart
said goodbye to them
crossed the sea
see the world
challenges and experience
far away from home

November 16: Flash Fiction Challenge – Mesh in Shadorma

common mesh
their memories mesh
history
together
caught in a mesh of crosses
and double crosses

like a shoal
herrings trashed in net
play on fears
of unknown
reality of nature
form intricate mesh

interesting
family structure
complex mesh
hierarchy
mesh of power equations
conflicts between them

he and she
her frame mesh with his
flawlessly
fingers mesh
his heart beats with hers, in time
like no tomorrow

harmony
almost feel her warmth
in concord
in rhythm
between them there’s just one soul
synchronize breathing

together
be in harmony
ebony
and ivory
together make sweet music
and forever more

Of our Dad still here
In our hearts
Beating loud

Asleep beneath shade

Waiting to see you again
Sometime in future

Open door
Searching is over
Remember
All the love
Wish you were still with us
Rest in peace our Dad
