Reflections from this morning…
Two lines in time
Reflect as one
Forevermore
In unison

Poem in Response
Having read “Taking Strolls in Shillong“, written by my friend Mukti Masih, a beautiful poetess, Christian, successful entrepreneur and chai-totaler hailing from Indore, India – wherein she shares rewarding experiences while walking in the capital city of Meghalaya – I was inspired to write this poem…
The call of Shillong
Resounds in your heart
Through words from the Lord
With which to impart© 2023 Phil Perkins

Into the Light
Trapped behind the collapsed entrance of a cave and without food, my limited rations of water were bone dry after 25 days. I was starving and stranded in the middle of nowhere, where calls for help were both futile, and strained my painfully parched vocal cords. I’d lost weight and prayed it was enough, that I might now fit between the thin sliver of rocks defining my captivity and illuminating my escape. It was now or never, and there was only one way out – into the light.

Famous Saying
Born in 1896 and 1909, my grandfathers were hard-working farmers, and, in my youth, each shared with me the following famous saying…one of my favorites!
“A farting horse never tires. A man that farts is the man to hire.”

Poem in Response
Having read “How a workation from Shillong looked like” by Mukti Masih, a very beautiful poetess, Christian, chai-totaler and successful Content Writer from Indore, India – wherein she recounts a visit to one of her favorite cities while working to complete a second book – I was inspired to write this short poem in response…
By wi-fi she works
From the mountains of Shillong
In the markets and parks, then back homeUnlocking her words
That her heart may sing on key
Through prayer, by her love, in a poem© 2022 Phil Perkins
