Absent but still Present

Forever captured

Your memory

Used daily

The skills you gave us

Passed to the future

The love you shared freely

Always valued

Your fighting spirit

Treasured like gold

Our lives as your unselfish gift

Free Writing

I am a great believer in the concept of free writing. This month I am posting several pieces I have written in September last year. I cam across the pieces on over the last few weeks and since I have been suffering the challenges of writers's block when even free writing did not do much to get the creativity flowing.

Thank you for following my writing and please leave some comments!

Always Learning

Train my tongue

To taste life

Coach my feet

To walk straight

Exercise my mind

To think clearly

Leave my hair

To grow wild

Educate my hands

To work hard

Can you Please

Jumble my mind

When I’m too complacent

Ease my heart

When I’m too anxious

Settle my tummy

When I’m filled with hunger

Ease my hands

When it’s idle with impatience

Slow down my feet

When it seeks an irrational beat

Consolidated

Drape your ideas

In concepts

Solid

Reveal your discoveries

In expressions

Sound

Voice your opinions

In visions

Clear

Wrap your realities

In multiple

Strategies

Protect your identity

In a singular

Entity

Humble Requests

Wake me up

When I fall asleep

Touch my shoulder

When I weep

Ease my fears

When I’m irrational

Challenge me

When I spew views conventional

Indulge me

When I offer friendship unconditional

“No place for the devil”

Every day

I push against the edge

Creating something new

Half a sock yesterday

Perhaps a pair complete

By the end of the week

Baked goodies today

To share with many

New rhymes

To keep a restless mind at bay

Writing a letter

Connect with friends and family far away

Creativity

Needs an open mind

More than

Material gains
