The sun is setting,
The walk is long,
The dunes never ending,
But I must go on.

Hope in a Jar
Day 10 Inktober – “Hope”
Who knew that Vitamin Sunshine would become so important? All my life I have been hiding from the harsh rays of the sun and applying sunscreen when on the beach.
Now, I run out every time I see clear blue skies where the sun is shining bright. Thanks to the Vitamin D deficiency that has taught me to embrace light for a healthier life and a positive frame of mind. Hence, this drawing of my sunlight/hope in a jar.
Fancy Gardens
Day 7 Inktober – “Fancy”
She loved watching the birds in her garden but every time she tried to get close to them, they would fly away.
Every day, she would attempt by going a step closer. Alas, they would fly away.
Some days, she would make sure the birds watched her filling their empty water bowls and bird feeder, yet they never came close.
So, she turned herself into a fancy garden and was never alone again.
Mr. Cat on a Branch
Perched on the branch,
Mr. Cat watched the changing colors of the sky,
With its emerald eyes.
The black and white version of the sketch looks cleaner but the colored version highlights the imperfections, just to make things more believable and achievable.
Shoulders of Giants
The mountains creaked in the valley.
Feeling old, sighing!
What if they chose to,
Lay down and rest?
Many of us will end up crying.
Stand tall, oh high and mighty!
For the selfish needs of humanity.
Deep in the Woods
A wooden cabin with large glass windows amidst nature.
Constant rain has turned the world outside dark and grey.
Trees sway and get drenched in the pouring rain.
Droplets of rain scatter on the window panes and trickle down slowly,
Blurring the serene view.
The cabin is dimly lit – its fireplace radiates a warm glow.
Smell of burning wood lingers across the room.
There is nothing but the sound of rain and a soft crackle of fire.
A kettle and a steaming cup of tea await.
At sunrise,
The green blades of grass with dew
Caressed her bare naked feet.

Sun’s Glory
A blazing hot day.
The sun like a fire ball,
Deep blue sky.
Sunday morning date with nature.
On a hot day I drink hot coffee
