That haven of silence is broken

 


How long is a lifetime? A lifetime can be a day sometimes, given the circumstances you find yourself in. The never-ending agony of tragedies can start at infancy and be remembered for a lifetime - a lifetime experience it becomes.

People think of a lifetime as the number of years they have lived. I believe that lifetime refers to the experiences one has undergone and is remembered until death do them part. 

Death is a lifetime experience. Something as tragic as death is hard to speak about, and one tends to find a haven of silence to keep the emotions intact - unspoken though seen. They are in your eyes, your heart, your mind, and consume your whole being. At times like this, solitude becomes your best mate. When in solitude, you think better and REMEMBER. Those quiet moments are precious to recount and relive experiences. Lifetime experiences are never meant to be forgotten.

I wrote a poem titled, Haven of Silence, this morning, which spoke about cries from the heart. Cries from the heart are unspoken words that hide sadness and misery.

The Adventures of Tiny Star

New Publication by #PublishDrive - Read about the adorable Tiny Star who slips and falls from a cloud and what happens when it lands and gets stuck in the Earth's crust.

#The Adventures of Tiny Star is an adorable story I wrote for a very special young man. He turned six on 27th August. I was more excited for him, and began crafting this story a couple of weeks before.

It has everything a child will love - adventure, intrigue, and it will bring on that infectious smile with the antics of the forest animals

The links are below. Read the sample on Amazon. #GiftAChild a book today - and let's begin their first reading experience.




The Adventures of Tiny Star

Trapped in Earth's Crust

Synopsis

Tiny Star slipped and fell off the clouds one day. Oh boy—what an adventure that turned out to be! He landed face down, burning a great big hole in the ground, and tumbled deep into Earth’s crust.

Nightingale and Owl saw everything. They trembled as the ground shook and spewed thick black clouds.

All the plants and animals of the forest were covered in soot and struggled to breathe. They heard Tiny’s cries for help... but who could save him?

Well, someone could. A mysterious black cloak of smoke circled Tiny and carried him away to the sea.

Read how Tiny Star was rescued and reunited with his friends in the constellation—an adventure full of wonder, courage, and cosmic magic.
