Etheree | But I Smile Anyway...

Set Adrift In my thoughts Hunting wildly Looking for the truth The answers to my 'Whys' Questions keep bombarding me Will I find what I'm looking for? Possibly not, but really, I know The solution to all my woes, is me Ritu 2021

Souls Traverse From body To higher plains Today you leave us I can feel you, above As you begin your journey Fly high, my darling Mamaji As you leave, you take a piece of me You may be gone, but never forgotten RItu 2021

Wings Spread wide Soaring high Above all else Above suppression Above small mindedness Above the criticism Free from other's expectations No shackles able to hold me back Gliding at my own pace towards success Ritu 2020

Hope Can be Infinite If you let it When you shine your light You become a beacon Others will flock towards you And then ignite lights of their own Just a little spark of your own hope Can be a catalyst for hope worldwide Ritu 2020

It’s #TankaTuesday, everyone!

It’s the fourth week of the month, which means I’ll pick a theme for you to write about for this month. On the Monday before the next challenge, I’ll select someone to choose next month’s theme.

This month’s theme is:

“The Circle of Life”

Life
Begins
With nothing
Just a body
But accumulates
Many things over time
Health, wealth, knowledge, family
With time, it all disappears
And what's left? A husk. Just a body
So, as it begins, life ends with nothing.
