Agile

~ Megha's World
tightrope
Her supple body
coupled with
nimble steps
on tight rung wire
stretched thin
on a pole top
 
Life a gamble between the
balance and the misstep
she takes the risk
from dusk to dawn
 
People are looking up
gazing at the sun
to get a glimpse of her
how skilfully she moved
from one end to another
 
The passerby stops and watch
with constant amaze
how easily she can spin
her body
with so much grace
 
When all the hungry eyes
betting on her fall
she constantly ignores
the stomach which growls.
 
Her daily bread is
mounted on the another
end of the wire
to bring
back the light
to her dazed
eyes is her
only desire.

 

This post is in response to the daily prompt Agile

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

  14. Your words paint the such vivid image of childhood hunger. The image merges with your words, speaking loudly of the torment, risks and pressures endured. Yet I’m encouraged by her perseverance to make it to the other side and be fed. She’s focused not distracted.
