Endless Waves

My thoughts are like waves

Tossed and turned in a sea of

Turbulent ideas.

Doubt

I have some talents

Am I one born creative?

I doubt if I am!

*~*~*~*

I love doing needle work

even when it is time to cook

I could crochet with my nimble fingers

even when the aroma of stew lingers

I create in the blanket  designs of nature

for a hapless  baby with bleak future

That cannot make out the intricate  patterns I weave

for the motherless baby of my friend whom I grieve

I love to make all types of  cookies and cakes

In various designs and colors with delicious icing

as yummy as what a regular baker makes

Their aroma makes the neighbourhood drooling

I love to write all my thoughts and dreams

That keep flowing like gentle streams

Be they short stories or verses that rhyme

They engage my mind most of the time

Knitting, baking and writing keeps my soul alive

Keeping me ever busy as I strive

wondering sometimes at my rich and varied  life  

I keep asking am I really born creative?

"Mom, I wanna play with Sofia,” Justin begged of his Mom one fine morning. “I want to see those sheep in the coral…I like those furs, it’s so fluffy, am gonna die,” he added mischievously. His Mom could only smile at Justin. 

“Dad, can I play with Justin today?” Sofia asked his Dad while the latter was busy with the morning papers and a mug of coffee. Her dad peeped through with the papers he was reading. “But it’s too early Sofia,” her Dad mumbled. “I wish to see those sheep in our coral as we usually do with Justin,” she begged of her Dad. “I love those furs, it’s so fluffy, am gonna die,” she added with mischief written all over her face! 

Sofia and Justin is a permanent fixture near the coral. Justin would pick up Sofia in their home, just next to his home and would be shouting “Sofia, Sofia, please come now, those sheep are waiting for us,” and Sofia would run down the grand staircase of their house from the second floor where her bedroom is located. 

His Dad, amused, would just let Sofia go. She’s his angel, the only priceless gift left by his wife who died giving birth to Sofia. 

“Justin, be careful,” his Mom would always remind him. Justin and Mom are best friends. Justin’s Dad died of cancer when he was barely 2 years old. 

Justin and Sofia were very good neighbors in beautiful country homes in Texas. Sofia’s Dad is tending hundreds of sheep enclosed in a big coral. These kids are best friends. Near and around the coral was always the place where they play. They would watch the sheep munch grasses every morning. They would hold hands. And their famous and fabulous lines while watching the sheep would always be: “I love those furs, it’s so fluffy, am gonna die”! Followed by a wild, innocent shriek from them. 

From a distance, their respective parents would be watching them. In their innocence, they  displayed a sweet, close friendship, holding hands while watching those sheep. 

“Sofia, will you forget these moments once we grow up?” Justin would often ask Sofia. And Sofia could only smile with a big a shake of her head signifying a no. 

Suddenly, one day, when they turned their heads to see if someone was watching them, they saw to their surprise their parents too were chatting happily  holding their  hands together  in warmth, oblivious of the baffled stares of their kids from afar.
