Morning Musings

Morning Musings

It's 6:40 a.m, 1st of April
NaPoWriMo is here again
Today is the tenth day of Ramadhan
The days in this blessed month
Are quickly passing by

A year is not that long
If you do not count the number of days in it
If you just let time run its course
365 days will roll away just like a dream

Looking back on the previous year
Many things have happened
Not only in my life but in the world as well
People have come and gone

Calamities visited throughout the year
Our house was flooded thrice
In the last quarter of 2022
Different parts of the globe experienced
The vagaries of nature

I have lost things in those floods
Things that cannot be replaced
Like photographs that hold many memories
Books that I collected through the years
And other things with sentimental value

The flooding was an eye opener
For many people whose lives were greatly affected
It was a reminder for us of the temporal nature of life

Everything can be taken away
In a sudden twist of fate
What you have worked hard for
Can be lost in the blink of an eye
