Highest Achievement - #7 in poetry [Oct 3, 2016]
~Nostalgia~
It's delicate, but potent.
The pain from an old wound.
A twinge in your heart..
Far more powerful than memory alone
A feeling of a place
Where we...
Ache
To
Go
Again.
-My thoughts. My word...

Upon a long uneven path, I stumbled Caressed by Sun's breath so humbled
Playin' hide and seek with the shades I decided to see when sunshine fades
So, I spread out my paper and paints 'N' looked at the sky, oh how it faints!
Very leisurely, I set out to sketch it all When it echoed, a flightless bird's call
Turnin' around, I saw it softly hidden Among the bushes, poorly bedridden
So I walked over 'n' set it on my palm After a slight hesitation, it grew calm
It's tiny leg was injured, about to heal Couldn't search the water, I could feel
I carried it to a nearby rushin' stream Cupped some water, fulfilled a dream
'N' fed that little soul to its heart's full I say, it felt so better than being artful
By then, the sun was softly settin' low 'N' I could feel, my cheeks were aglow
With happiness, I gathered my goods It was a day well spent... . . . in the woods

Author's Note
Listening to 'Flightless Bird' by Iron and Wine. A very lovely song! :')♡♥
So, helping someone is always better than enjoying yourself by painting or listening to music. I mean, hobbies are hobbies. Keep them hobbies. Even if you make them your passion, don't let them blind you to the needs of the people around you. Nothing's more important than that. :')
That's a silent message to our young generation including myself. Don't be too engrossed in your passions and hobbies that you become ignorant to what's important. Family is important. Humanity is important. :')♡♥
