Resolutions
Easy to proffer
than to mettle,
Resolutions ....
Every year
God disposes,
as I propose
within myself,
Embracing
His verdict,
I cherish life,
My perseverance
beguiles,
As I fail to adduce.....
Again standing resolute,
this year I validate,
adopting a healthy
life style for myself,
Staying away from
self and material gains,
Contribute to humanity
be it meager,
And live life to its full
on all His blessed days,
Keep sending hugs,
health and smiles,
To all family, friends and dears,
in whatsoever little ways ....
Amen !!

For contest "Resolutions" by Shadow Hamilton
Awarded 3rd place win
In stillness of her spirit she sits there
with all her prowess she manipulates.
Her fingers’ ripples in coldest water
replenish mind and soul that ruminates.
Playing in nocturne, she’s being witnessed
by her governess . The simplicity...
Her portraits that adduce virtues she possessed -
laconic and clear view of chastity.
Oh, renaissance woman, you shine on top,
as you incandesce in mind love of arts!
You’re a czar bringing our decorum up-
women’s pride… imbue modesty in heart.
In the silence of our heart, we listen
in these memorabilia… you remain.
