Farm Day, Fun Day

~ Joyce Mary J ~ 31 Comments

When the schools are closed for summer vacation, then it’s the time to explore new places. As I come from a part of the world where we can find a mini farm in most of the houses, I was missing animals in my life. My daughter is an animal lover. “Mama, can I keep that cat?” “Mama, how about a dog?” “Oh! I love rabbits. They are so cute.” “Mama, can we keep chicks or ducks as pets.” These are just some of the examples that she asks about keeping a pet at home. So, we decided to go to a farm today.

The place is so beautiful and serene. A wonderful place for children as well as adults. My daughter loved feeding animals there. Another attraction for her was to find the fairies and their houses. The walk and the nature itself helped me to relax and calm my mind.

Sheeps came running as soon as they saw us. They knew we had their food and I had an excited kid beside me.

Those hens reminded me of my childhood. I had hens, Blacky and Browny when I was a kid. I still remember the day they died one after another because of some flu. My mom told the news when I came back from school. I did cry a lot on that day.

Ducks were hungry so as the goose. So, the goose decided to peck them all to have some food.

While, other geese were enjoying a lazy day.

Turkeys were into some show off mood today, I guess. To be honest, my daughter got afraid of them.

I loved these two and it was so much fun watching and especially feeding them. They are so adorable.

Those piglets reminded my daughter of her favorite character, Peppa Pig. They do love muddy puddles!!

In short, it was an absolute fun day!!

Myriad Hues Of Nature

~ Joyce Mary J ~ 20 Comments

Yesterday, while walking back from work at around 20:30pm at night, I saw this beautiful sunset. Nature always helps me to relax and I hope that you will enjoy this picture too.

Walking through darkness with thoughts full of colors.

If you’re to choose to paint your life today… What will it be? Remember, you’re the artist, not the canvas.

Val Uchendu

Colors are the smiles of nature.

Leigh Hunt

Sunrise paints the sky with pinks and the sunset with peaches. Cool to warm. So is the progression from childhood to old age.

Vera Nazarian

Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.

Glued

~ Joyce Mary J ~ 30 Comments 


Shattered into pieces by her unkind fate,
She was in a complete disastrous state,
Called by the society as a misfit,
She was about to surrender in defeat.
Then a voice came from inside,
"There's a lot in you that you have not tried,
Take your time to make it right,
Believe in yourself and give a good fight."
So she picked herself up from the ground,
Every little broken pieces of her and glued,
To make it whole and beautiful again,
And made sure to put some flowers too this time which was a gain.

Grace

~ Joyce Mary J ~ 39 Comments 

Walking on the beach and letting the sunlight touch my skin,
I allowed sand and water to be my kin,
While listening to the waves and watching the birds sing,
Tears rolled down as it made my heart swing.
Thinking only about all the disappointments and downs in my life,
I wasn't being grateful to the God who gave me the life.



Then I saw a young girl selling roasted peanuts,
With dirty hands, torn clothes but she was no nuts,
Even after a dreadful long day she had her hopes high,
With love in her eyes, she walked gracefully without giving a sigh.
When she offered me her peanuts seeing me cry,
I could only stare at her and couldn't ask why,
The beach was a place where I could find my final peace,
Instead I found God in her face and I walked back in grace in one piece.

Clueless

How can you be so clueless about yourself?
The lives you make and the lives you break by your presence.
How can you be so clueless about your desires?
So powerful that it can build or destroy someones world without any notice of prior.


How can you be so clueless about your intentions?
Every move you make can protect or breech someone's life forever.
How can you be so clueless about the words that you speak?
Each spoken words has the power to soothe or tear down someone as we speak.


How can you be so clueless about your actions?
As everything you do creates or blocks the passage of life for someone.
How can you be so clueless about your cluelessness?

Poisoned

A beautiful creature inside and out,
Silent in nature by default,
Was prejudiced because of its appearances,
And their screams were deafening to its interiors.
Threatened to stay inside its hole,
Was always chased by others with a wooden pole,
Each time it came out to find its food,
They circled around to beat at its hood.
Everytime it felt insecure,
It would just bite them harder,
But one day the snake was dead on the street,
Where they found, their poison had burst out of its body, poor beast.

Pandora’s Box

Did you find the key I have lost?
As I really need it the most.
I always made sure to triple lock my doors,
And I found myself safe behind my guarded walls.
Wise men say that curiosity kills the cat,
It was just supposed to be a small talk infact,
The key was handed to me as a gift,
And I opened the Pandora's box in swift.
It's been several years that I'm trying to close the box,
But it outsmarts me like a clever fox,
So please tell me if you find the key I have lost,
As I really need it the most.

Still Walking..
	

				

			 ~ Joyce Mary J			 ~ 24 Comments					

				

		






I’m still walking the walk I love,





Where I can feel the fresh air,





See the sunrise and the birds fly,





But where are you?





I’m still walking and taking the same paths,





Where I can smell the blooming flowers,





Touch and blow the dandelions,





But where are you?





I’m still walking on the same roads,





Where streetlights glow at night,





And I can see the moonlight,





But where are you?





I’m still walking and hoping,





That I will meet you on the same crossroad,





Where I decided to look back and found that you were watching me,





But where are you?





I’m still walking…

Immersion

I found myself in a lovely place,
Where a gentle breeze touched my face,
Where the mountains stood with their heads high,
And where the birds flew freely in the sky.
The river was so pure that it mirrored my face,
The grasses were so soft which reminded me to offer my prayers,
Where the sun enjoyed playing hide and seek with the clouds,
And the trees danced slowly in the wind singing their songs aloud.
Then I saw a familiar face which I love  dearly,
Those eyes were speaking to me and all I wanted was a hug so tightly,
That we could breath out all our air to the atmosphere,
And release our spirits into that place that we really care.

May Be…

We were in love when the fate decided to separate us,
Holding on end of the rope from top of the mountain,
You told me that you would never let me go,
But, when I decided to let go of myself from your life,
I just was making sure you to be safe and happy even without me in it,
But, I promised that I will be waiting for you in the next.
While falling I asked you to run as soldiers were marching towards you,
I saw you were dragged out of my sight as I was slowly closing my eyes.



I have been waiting one life after another as I promised,
Searching for you, I knew that I will recognize you,
As our souls knew each other long before that these generations could even think,
When we finally met, you had no memory of the past,
You thought that it was just another thing and could make some time pass,
May be I will have to wait hundreds of years to see the whole you again,
When you will remember the end of the rope and the hope in my eyes,
Or may be you will just listen to your soul this time.
