I'm standing at the crossroads of life
Dithering between moving forward or staying rooted to a spot.
Looking fondly at the past.
The past that holds myriad emotions
...
The morning unfolds
like a slow breath —
light seeps through the mist,
softly, as if asking permission.
...
I write.
But what do I write?
I write about the feelings of the heart.
The unrest assailing my mind.
...
With the festive season around the corner
Festivity is in the air
The heart lurches with excitement
and the smells of the festive season intoxicate you
...
I do not call it a fight,
because I was never at war with my life.
I call it a road I chose to travel,
sometimes rough with stones,
...
