This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

We build nests

On moss laden branches

Like birds peck the wood

To carve in a hold

Anchoring on slippery grounds

We embroider emotions

On a  barren, rugged canvas

And empty out our souls

To imbue meaning and memory

Until the day comes when

Dreams spread wings onto a

Vaster horizon of quests uncharted

The nest remains where it used to be

On mossy undergrowth and

Sloppy terrain like a clumsy

Thought once overwhelming

Now merely a fragile, futile urge

    That’s so fantastic Geeta
    That Anita’s bharatkam (Marathi for embroidery 🙂) is extremely well … childhood reminder

  3. This is so good. I especially loved

    We embroider emotions

    On a barren, rugged canvas

    And empty out our souls
