Contest : Simplicity

Date : May 24, 2026
In God’s own land a child arrives with empty mind where nascent beauty finds a niche, encased within the frame of intrinsic innocence, configured as blooming flower of heavenly smile, that gets splintered by ruthless time’s brunt, but the credulous mental clarity may last long while the world around changes fast, as happened with me. A gleaming stream gliding in ebullience flowed with splendor around our home. On its rippling water passing me by, I as a child sailed the paper boats tinged with the rainbow colors. I imagined my mariner mind sailed on these to a distant unknown dreamland. The boats disappeared in the sea of memory, but those adorable tender moments gone, live in the twilight hours with my inner child, trying to envision life suffused with juvenile bliss, emitting from the fountain of dormant simplicity.
