Steps quickening, panting, scurrying
Hands on the clock face ticking louder
Signaling the dearth of time
Work calls
With tar, smoke and burning rubber
And then I see
Two tiny pairs of feet
Walking hand in hand
Basking in life
Just so

” Two tiny pairs of feet , Walking hand in hand “….
What a sweet pic, this is ! An insightful poem 🙂 Yes, a walk is never lonely when we hold hands….and then, it is a walk to remember !
Aww… That's just so very sweet. Love the pictures your words evoke.
awwww damn cute!!! 😀
You have given a great answer to the question – which way to go? The question sort of disappears or maybe takes a different form when there is a hand to hold on to, or a hand to hold. Lovely post, Shailja!
Glad you thought the poem was insightful. I never really planned on it. It just happened. Sometimes, I think that is the answer to everything. Just let things happen. Touched that you liked my quote.
Thank you so much, Tulika 🙂
Thank you, Sri!
I like how you say that the question takes a different form! That's true, Beloo. The minute we know that we have a companion, any journey seems more pleasant. Beautiful insight. Thanks for the comment!
Indeed, that's all there is to life, isn't there, PB? I loved my two weeks of complete abstinence from the blog. It refreshed me no end and yet, now that I am back, I am enjoying it just as much. We need our breaks, our pauses to make us think and reflect more. Have a good break!
Which way to go?? Yes, no journey is difficult when there is a hand in your hand!! Loved your take on the prompt, Shailaja and welcome back 🙂 ♥
Amazing take on the prompt! Which way to go- is a question we often ponder on at many stages of our lives. And if someone is thr to walk hand in hand it is going to be a smoother path! Lovely write as always, Shailaja 🙂
Basking in life…the perfect answer!
I love that one…”basking in life…just so” That's a wonderful line !
Loved your take on this prompt! Every journey is a bit nicer with a companion! ♥ Well done! ♥
Basking in life, the right choice. Beautiful take.
The images popped spontaneously in my head as I went through this cute poem 🙂
Two together in search of the path of life supporting each other- a great philosophy…The visual enhances the post..
Very sweet! We have to spend time on moments like that, for sure.
Very sweet and enjoyable!
Loved it. Amazing.
I loved this. My favorite so far. Two tiny feet, what a wonderful sight.
Got to hold my grandson's hand today while walking down the street. Love the feel of that soft little hand in mine and all that it represents. Thank you for a great use of your prompt
reads almost like a Haiku
aww that' s such a sweet potrayal of the two walking hand and hand.
Thanks for the welcome, Shilpa. It's good to be back 🙂 Truly, all we need is a like-minded companion, isn't it?
Thank you Shalini. At times, we just need that person to walk by us and make the journey a happy one.
Lovely, lovely poem. And I loved the pic too. My favourite line – Basking in life, just so. Wonderful and I wish I could write as well as you do. 🙂
Hand in hand just melts my heart.
Basking in life, very sweet!
Aww,so sweet!Reminds me of one of my fav poems-“Leisure” by W.H.Davies 🙂
Thank you, Jennifer, for stopping by.
Thank you for saying so 🙂
Thank you Kathy 🙂
Thank you!
So happy Vinodini! Thanks for reading.
Thank you for the kind words, Jayanta!
One of my first pictures that I played around with. Glad it had the desired effect.
Something I tell myself and try to do everyday, Marcy.
Thanks Jen!
Nowhere near your piece of perfection, Archita. But, thank you so much 🙂
Very kind of you to say so. Thanks Ann 🙂
Thank you for reading, Carol 🙂
WOw that makes me happy, since I cannot write haikus! At least, I think I can't 😉
Thanks Rajlakshmi 🙂
I voted for your entry, Shailaja. It's so interesting how versatile our thoughts are on a subject. Thank you for your words. 🙂
Great take on the prompt, and an appropriate photograph!
