Another day ends in mystery
Sun sets in some deep darkness
I sit alone encircling fates
On the palm of my hands.
Sand escapes without any thought
Touching the wrinkles of the feet
That age even sans movement
As I struggle to slip ahead.
A drop of pearl is seeking me
Signalling on the rain to befall
Maybe it want the blessing to be felt
And the numbness is stuck in ice within.
A wave comes through the breeze
From the past sealed in a bottle
Filled with laughs and tears
Ending with scars that got fixated.
Some stones go astray and other stick
Some fragrances find the way to me
Some droplets fall to feel the essence
And I stand waiting for the unknown.
I take a step to be engulfed totally
Into the sea that takes my tears
Listening to every story I scream
In moments of agony, and in joys.
A strong air of familiarity splashes
On the face of worries to speak
Of what you lose if you do not wait
Asserting me of strength one last time.
Tears roll down the cheek to soil
After decades of tired helplessness
For that one soft touch I lost
I choose to move, back home.
Back to an emptiness, but to a life
Which might grant a blessing I not see
To place, where I seek new perspective
For something just moved, even if within.

We’re here you know? To kiss the sadness and melancholy away. 🙂
Beautifully done though.
😀 😀
Nice poem…sadness of the unknowns. Presently my life is a sea of unknowns and endless waiting.
That is exactly my state as of now too…Glad you liked it 🙂
There is so much passion in your writing.
Thank You for feeling that 🙂
Gorgeous writing. I particularly like the second-last stanza — beautiful!
But you may possibly have gone over the 33 word limit… 😉
Thank You 🙂
This was one impromptu writing and I later realized I used the prompt so linked. I often go beyond the word limit 😛 But someday I hope I can keep with the limit 😀
Ah well. Who cares about winning when you can indulge your muse instead!
Exactly 😀
This is lovely. A touch over our word limit though. We ask that if you know your piece doesn’t fit the rules of the challenge, you leave your link in the comments section, not in the linkz. Makes it easier for judging purposes. Hope to see you back again soon!!
I wrote this piece and then linked it somehow this time. And forgot seeing the thing about comment section. We keep that in mind in future. Sorry for the inconvenience 🙂
Somber and beautiful, word limit be damned!
Thank You so much 😀
I wonder how you weave this magic with words everytime!
And your comments always make my words liven up 🙂 Thanks sweetie 🙂

There is great emptiness and loss here but perhaps the answer can only come from returning home. Beautifully done as always!
Thank you so much dear 🙂
“I sit alone encircling fates
On the palm of my hands.”
Lovely expression 🙂
Thank you, love 🙂
I’m stuck in the beauty of melancholy described in those words. Sublime piece of poetry.
Glad you feel so. Thank you so much 🙂
