Today’s prompt: Write a piece of prose or poetry that ends with in the end, we were just a moment.
Standing at the crossroads of life looking back and collecting all the memories as the translucent sea glass walking barefoot on the beach. Wet sands making islands of hope between my toes, there is much more to this fleeting moment, the moment I want feverishly to savor, and clutch in my palms.Weaving like a beautiful life story saving for the puny ears of my grand kids as they listen intently to the fate of the princess after a long ordeal which lasted a lifetime. You will always find a horde of the little audience for the fairy tales as they cuddle our imaginations and keep the child giggling under our souls. Those stories laced with the beautiful memories could have been the heritage for my grand kids something for them to cherish, something for them to hold onto to their warm hearts when it gets broken occasionally. But it only lasted a summer, saying it aloud in my heart, ringing in my ears that in the end, we were just a moment.

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.
