The Relics of a Recent Past
Leather bell strap, worn and weathered by time
You've witnessed tales of bravery, and tales of woe,
In rugged lands you ventured out , tied to a steed,
With each stride, a melody, a rhythm in the air,
Guiding weary travelers with a jingle everywhere
Cowboys riding in the country you followed
A faithful companion, a guardian from the start
Symbol of connection, bridging worlds far apart

still a big question!
There she was standing forlornly with looks of expectations and concerns written all over. Waiting for a friend she later confessed shyly.
Amidst the bustling corridors and lecture rooms, our paths met. I remember the fluttering heartbeat, the nervous glances, that preceded the first approach. She, the freshie lost in her thoughts and I the senior ever hoping for a 'victim'.
Those carefree days, when time was often a neglected luxury the world outside seemed distant and irrelevant. We indulged in the simplicity of playful banter, oblivious to the responsibilities that awaited beyond the campus gates.
When college life drew to a close, warmth of courtship transformed to uncertainties, It served as a reminder of the impending options and choices open before us. But it strengthened the transformative power of young love into something bigger. So we thought!
This memory stays with me, like a treasured relic from a bygone era. But sadly whispers of innocence of fleeting moments and possibilities fizzled into nothingness. Time may have carried us on separate paths, but the memory of our courtship in college shall forever be a cherished treasure. Just wondering what the intricacies of life would have been on the road not taken!
Blessed feelings when it lasted

whispers through the haze
dawn of a new day
A Starter with:
that the coast was clear,
her eyes darting given to fear
As she stepped forward, determined
her heart raced at an unsteady pace,
concerned of the coming days
Her footsteps gingerly progressed forward
echoes fading into a deep abyss,
She peeked back again to check,
and found the courage to forge her own way,

A Cowgirl on the Plains
Beneath the wide-brimmed hat, a weathered face,
A spent cowgirl, but still with her feminine grace.
With saddle and stirrups, she mounts her steed,
Through rugged country and prairies she'll roam,
In search of freedom, a place to call her own.
She finds solace in the untamed wilderness,
Roaming her bids in unchartered territory
With lots of imprints bound to memory

unjustly confined
A spirit arose, ascending undaunted in flight
Tran Duc Thach, a voice with unwavering might,
A poet, a scholar unperturbed, a beacon of light.
With his pen as a sword, he battled the pains
Fueled by a vision of will that justice sustains.
He dared to challenge the powers that be,
In pursuit of a land where all could be free.
Behind bars and walls, he was unjustly confined,
Even though his spirits may still be ill-defined
It transcends the confines, it cannot be oppressed.

Two Kangaroos Down Under
Mother and Joey, frolicking in their own way.
Mother kangaroo, very bold and wise,
Guided her Joey with love in her eyes.
In the wilderness, they traversed with grace,
Her pouch a sanctuary, a warm embrace.
The Joey, full of curiosity and delight,
Eager to learn stationed himself by her side,
They hopped and jumped a synchronized dance,
A symbol of unity, their bond enhanced.

Sunset of Hope
Singe of their touch leaves a mark,
Reminder of their burning ways,
A never-ending, painful phase.
As the shade of sunset fades away,
The shallows of the mind do trickle,
A torrent of fear, fright and fickle.
Beside the demon's lair, they reside,
But the demons within their minds
Are a force that's hard to unwind.
The cerulean glimmer of brightness
Gives a hint of light in the dark
A beacon of hope with some luck

Surreal Photography of Erik Johansson.
The distance makes it hard to tell
The universe is vast and free,
All of its wonders are hard to see
A telescope needed to train on a distant star,
To turn the gaze back down again to reality
A satisfaction at all the sights up high,

Time Stood Still
"on this day without a date,
On this day without a date, time came to a stop. The world stood still. In a quiet room, on a back street, dusky and dimly lit, a lone figure, gazed up at the sky. Darkness ruled, he was lost in thoughts.
Time appeared to have lost all meaning. The world around him had faded into a blur of indistinct shapes and sounds. He was lost in his own thoughts, grappling with the mysteries of life.
On this day, he found solace however in the silence of the night, where the only sound was the beating of his own heart.
As the hours ticked by, the world around him remained unchanged, but yet he learned. The revelations experienced in the quiet moments had him in deep thoughts. He found a sense of purpose and meaning that extended across the boundaries of time and space.Saturday, May 6, 2023
It's Fascinating!
It stirs our soul and feeds our mind
And helps us see that we've been blind
For fascination that we adore
So we bask in the strength of your power
And let our hearts take flight wanting more
For fascination is the key

Real animal architecture
In nests, dens, and burrows deep,
Animals lay their heads to sleep.
From rabbits low and eagles high
All are provided homes under the sky
The eagle builds a lofty nest,
A sturdy home where eggs can rest.
High up on cliffs or in a tree,
It's where they raise their family.
The fox digs dens within the ground,
A secret place where cubs are found.
A cozy home to stay safe and secure,
And to keep them warm to endure
The rabbit burrows in the earth,
A cozy place since days of birth
A home to hide and feel secure,
As predators might just appear
The owl finds homes in hollow of trees,
A sheltered place from wind and breeze.
A place to rest and watch the night,
Until the dawn brings morning light.
From nests to dens to burrows deep,
Animals find their own homes for keeps.
A place of safety, warmth, and rest,

Musical Chairs
Around the chairs, they stood their grounds
Each hoping to find a seat,
Before the tune comes to a sudden stop
But what happens when the chairs run out
when the music stops and there's a scramble for a seat
The game of musical chairs has often
Accusations thrown, fingers pointed,
And the disappointed and frustrated just leave
What started as a game of fun, has now
But in the end, there's no prize,
just a lesson learned.
For when the music starts again,
The same old cycle will begin,
And as we all scramble again
Alone
In the darkness of the night,
You emerge like a shining light,
Climbing high with all your might,
Towards the heavens, out of sight.
With a heart so pure and true,
You take on challenges anew,
Bearing burdens heavy and few,
With a spirit that is never subdued.
As you climb, the bow of hope,
Guides you up the slippery slope,
And the grains of faith you hold,
Give you strength, and make you bold.
Amidst the mystery of it all,
You hear a clash, a sudden call,
Flashes of courage break your fall,
And you stand tall, never to crawl.
At the verge of the great unknown,
You face your fears, and you're not alone,
For your heart, it's the seed you've sown,

ZORRO
Swashbuckling with sword so light
Fighting for justice and what is right,
Fighting for the poor and the oppressed,
His mark of "Z" leaves villains distressed,
For Zorro is the people's protector so blessed

Woody Woodpecker
A woodpecker with a laugh that virtually screams
His red crest and feathers, a sight to behold,
His beak as sharp as a woodpecker's should be,
He pecks on trees, attacking them with glee.
Known to be mischievous, and often times rude,
But his antics never fail to lift up the mood.

Music on Hand
2) knocks me out
On a sunny April afternoon,
The world seems to come alive.
The birds chirp a joyful tune,
And nature's lovely song thrives.
As I bask in the warmth of the sun,
My heart fills with a peaceful beat.
But it's the music that truly won,
It knocks me out of my seat.
With every note that's played,
I'm lost in a world of sound.
My worries and fears fade,
And my feet start tapping around.
So on this sunny April afternoon,
Let the music knock you out.
Let it take you to a different tune,
Vanellope von Schweetz
There lived a girl with a heart so light
Her name was Vanellope von Schweetz
A racer with a spirit hard to beat
With jet black hair and a peppermint dress
She zoomed through the tracks, filled with finesse
Her kart was sweet, made of candy and gum
She raced to the finish, winning number one
So let us remember this girl so sweet
Whose determination could not be beat
Vanellope von Schweetz, a hero of light
Uncle Scrooge
Uncle Scrooge McDuck, what a sight,
With his top hat that is just right,
A wealthy old duck, with a heart of gold,
A vault full of cash that remains untold
But wealth was not all that he held dear,
For family and friends, were not to fear
A mentor and guide, to nephews and kin,
And a loyal companion, to certain friends
He loved his money, he knew it had power,
And used it for the main good, at some hours
To help those in need, and making life better,
For the poor and sick, with his wealth and power.
So let us all remember, this duck of fame,
With wise investments he made great gains
With wealth comes choices others find wanting
