The night hexagon

The day spent with voices suppressing
The one from within desperate to talk
To understand where are we heading
Through the path I was unsure to walk

The journey ahead blank as a paper placed
In the light of curiosity, as if coming from a lamp
With a mug of madness that keeps me unfazed
I mark the road like a pen dancing without a cramp

Evening diffusing into a moonless blue
Marking the end of voices outside
Making inner ones echo through
The walls of a learning mind

The rhythmic tick-tock of the clock
In sync with chirping of a distant cricket
Composes a symphony to open the lock
To a peaceful world where they took the rickett

An irregular hexagon of thoughts
With each side provoking a sense
To explore by joining the collected dots
To see the sky through a canopy dense

This was the Day 1 of the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge for which the amazing writer-photographer Prajakta nominated me. Her blog is a blend of informative articles, engrossing writings, beautiful poetry and great pictures. Thank you, Prajakta for this unique and interesting challenge. 🙂

My first nomination for this is Asid. He is a person who could inspire you by just a simple account of one of his regular days. If you don’t already know about him, do check this out.

The challenge is – “Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge”
