I wonder where the days disappeared
Well, actually I know they didn’t
I spent them elsewhere, not here
But now I return, re-energized (hopefully)
🙂
Saturday Snapshot :
I discovered this photo last night – I was scouring through the snaps taken over the past few weeks and I have no idea when(actually the when is there on the photo details), where, how (well, of course, accidentally) I took this one.. but it intrigued me and I loved this snap so here it is for Saturday Snapshot..
For Quote It over at Freda’s, the theme is Rare
My posts do seem to appear rarely nowadays! But I hope to make this a thing of the past.
“Common sense is as rare as genius, – is the basis of genius” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
For dVerse Poetics, Karin has us walking down memory lane to wake up our muse. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I
remember
remember
Days
before we spent our days in front of the TV
before we spent our days in front of the TV
Lazy
summer days I walked home with my nose buried
summer days I walked home with my nose buried
In
a book, and my head bumping into streetlights – under the bright sun
a book, and my head bumping into streetlights – under the bright sun
School
days of walking home with friends
days of walking home with friends
Making
the path way shorter
the path way shorter
Evenings
spent playing childhood games,
spent playing childhood games,
Sounds
of kho, lagori, statue, and more
of kho, lagori, statue, and more
Making
inlines into today as I recall the shor
inlines into today as I recall the shor
Nights
awash in AIR India wavelengths
awash in AIR India wavelengths
To
the words of ‘Yeh Hain Aakashvani’
the words of ‘Yeh Hain Aakashvani’
And
the more recent ones
the more recent ones
Memorable
firsts of my little ones
firsts of my little ones
I
remember when he took his first step
remember when he took his first step
When
she took her first tumble
she took her first tumble
When
he handed me the paper scrap
he handed me the paper scrap
Motioned
me to put it in the trash
me to put it in the trash
When
I found her mouth chewing
I found her mouth chewing
And
a part of an insect wing peeking between her lips
a part of an insect wing peeking between her lips
To
first days of school and to late night yesterday
first days of school and to late night yesterday
Looking
through telescopic eyes into a cluster of stars
through telescopic eyes into a cluster of stars
Whose
light left it 25,000 years ago
light left it 25,000 years ago
And
there are those faint remnants of memories
there are those faint remnants of memories
that
appear in dreams repeatedly
appear in dreams repeatedly
Are
they memories or dreams?
they memories or dreams?
I
don’t know but they make me happy
don’t know but they make me happy
They
must be a forgotten memory!
must be a forgotten memory!
nice…walking home from school with friend, talking and talking or head buried in a book…sounds familiar..smiles… oy on the chewing the insect…my daughter once tried to eat a rainworm when she was small…i was working in the garden and she just got a little bit bored and well..smiles
Ah this sounds like such a nice childhood – stars and insects — this is so cool..
beautiful memories
smiles….the bus used to drop us about a mile from home and we had to walk the last little bit…took forever because we were always getting sidetracked..haha…
Love that photo!!
Great quote by Emerson, and I love the poem!
Hope you have a great week!
What lovely memories.
Nicely done.
Isn't it funny how some of our favorite photos are so unplanned?!
Here's my Saturday Snapshot!
