Moments ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #130
There is a moment
A moment before
A moment after
A moment before

Each with their own tenor
Their own flavour
Their own meaning

The changing times
The recollected meaning
Of a moment
Made up of moments
All part of another

The Holy Ganga
There are waters in this world
I would not so much
As dip a toe in
I am thinking
I would not so much
As dip a toe in

In the waters of the holy Ganga
While her daughters prepare
To leap in, yet again
Kites in the Twilight
A story told
In every land

In the quiet time

In gentle acts
Of little
Or no

Though
An unsubtle beauty
In recompense
In every land
Come twilight
In the quiet time
We take repose
In gentle acts
Of little
Or no

Possibilities
The ways of being
I cannot comprehend
The ways of being
I cannot comprehend
Exploring the infinity
Beyond my ken
What I love most about existence

It is said
Anywhere you stand in China
You will see at least
One more human being
And that is (mostly) true
Anywhere you stand in China
You will see at least
One more human being
And that is (mostly) true
But I noticed
Anywhere I stood in India
I could see someone
Selling something
To someone else
Crossing Boundaries
To explore other worlds
I must cross the boundaries
I’ve erected to contain my own
I must cross the boundaries
I’ve erected to contain my own
