An Elegant Crimson Night

-
In the moonlight,
She sits on the wooden bridge.
Water, so calm,
Her legs hanging above.
Wind, so silent,
Is it safe?
Her midnight-blue kimono,
Embroidered with pearls.
Her long, straight silver hair,
Shining like stars.
Flute in hand,
She raises, to her lips,
Her eyes glistening like the moon,
Focused like a wolf's,
A look of pity and justice,
Her slender fingers,
Gracefully playing the flute.
A beautiful melody,
A painful cry,
Dissolving in the dead of night,
The melody, continuous.

Un-Shattering Happiness: Chapter 1

Blurb link: https://my313world.blogspot.com/2020/07/un-shattering-happiness.html       Oh no , she thought as she rushed out of her room. She didn’t want to be late for DinnerTime, especially tonight. She had something very important to discuss and DinnerTime was the only time her father would have a meal with the family. She ran past the numerous empty rooms on her way. They were a family of four members but lived in a huge mansion. She reached the dinning hall. She stood at the door for a few seconds, catching her breath and fixing her multi-colored hair. Then, she opened the doors and stepped in, closing the door behind her.       “Wow,” blurted her brother as soon as he saw her.      “What?”      “For the first time in forever, you are on time,” he laughed.       Remedios smiled and took a seat opposite to him. Her mother sat ninety degrees angle to her right. She looked at her mother, to greet...

  “Were we right to send her away like that?” asked Remedios’s mum. “We didn’t send her away, Jade. She left on her own,” grunted Argon. “She’ll come back,” he added. “I don’t think she’ll return. Music travels,” said Nicholas, the most concerned of all. “She left everything. Besides, once anyone learns who she is, they will automatically leave her or even better,” Argon smiled. “A bounty on her head.” “Dead or alive?” Nicholas joked, his voice shaky.                 He loved his sister. And he didn’t want her dead nor ‘or’ which in Argon’s case could be worse than death.  “Nicholas!” cried his mum. “Alive,” decided Argon. “Because of her identity, no one will take her in, and because of no identity in her hands, no country will take her in.” Jade wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief. “My Remedios, what has cursed you?” she cried unseen tears.  Argon left the dining hall, the excitement visible on his...

Trip to Lake View Park

I think I was more excited about going on the trip than the students! The only problem we faced was 'where to go?' So we made a voting system and voila! Lake View Park! I expect the students to behave themselves while we are on our trip because last time it was literally hide-and-seek! I bring a mat with me and a few pillows for the trip. Right now, we are sitting in the bus, speeding to the park. Luckily, there is no traffic since it's a Monday. The students look very excited and full of energy and so does my friend Nurşen and so do I! It will be a one heaven of a day! The bus comes to a stop in front of a big black gate. I instruct the students to carefully step down the bus and quietly stand in a line. We decide to split in two groups as it is easier to control. We settle to meet at the big fountain-the final point. I take my group the opposite side of where Nurşen's group is going. The girls in my group tend to be more into their phones so I take them away....
