Astute as that pencil
Which moves on paper
Knowing how it marks
Knowing transient
Are those lines
Yet rejoicing they are made.
Astute.
Knowing that you make your mark.
Understanding it matters.
Discerning it may be bettered.
Accepting it will be obliterated.
And not a trace left behind.
Marking time.

Day#24 of #NaPoWriMo, another shortcut; a blog write, that became another #magicalmornings update on FB 🙂 and now taking its rightful place in the blog 🙂
Some stories need to be said... Some need to be heard.
Longreads : The best longform stories on the web
of books, food and friendship!
A journey to find new meaning after personal loss
In the Indian context
writer, storyteller, veteran (see BirchBark Editing.com and MaxieJaneFrazier.com for more)
And, yes, i love to limerick || Have tried to master the trick || Of the a a b b a rhyme || 'Tis a joy truly sublime || When a verse comes out slick and quick!
A life of books . . .
The fresh smell of life.
Mind over matter
When you look out, what do you see?
A fine WordPress.com site
and sometimes trying on new ones for fit (and looks)
Vanity, On A Royal Scale
The world through my lens.....
To Share... To Love... What better way than words
One Step at a Time
All that remains.
I like birds
Comics, Cartoons, Writings.
Malayalam mini-series
Learning something new every day.
A Quest on Overdrive ... :)

Wow ma’am….I’m simply blown away by this poem, the message that it contained, illustrated with that beautiful analogy of the pencil 🙂 Somehow this managed to strike a deeper chord within me. There are some who are disappointed in life because they never became extravagantly rich or world-renowned, but I think that the most important thing in life is to live it to the fullest…….fulfill all your dreams…..basically, to seize the day, everyday. 🙂 And while I say all this, I hope that I’ll be able to live my life to the fullest as well….

The insight of Astute
Rendered me mute
Till a night’s sleep
Raised this peep:
The transience of Life is a statute!

It reminded me of Khayyam’s ‘ moving finger’,
like time, these lines too will not linger.
For some do the red marks denote danger?
of a more worse fate, will it be an harbinger?
Hope you marked well, or you might get marked. 🙂
