Find Your Spark!

-

Stepping into the dark,
May you rekindle your spark.
Igniting the path
For those around you.

And perhaps, in doing so,
Realise that to them,
You have always been the light.

Here’s to lighting up someone’s life,
Be it for just a moment, or a day.
Here’s to being empathetic.
Here’s to giving.

Wishing all you beautiful souls
A joyous Diwali.

Look around you,
And add a bit of sparkle
Everywhere you go.
Because somwwhere out there,
You may still be someone’s guiding light. 🪔🎇

From Dusk Till Dawn

It was just another night at Westin’s Colony, a residential area comprising around fifty houses, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the town. People lay awake on their beds, some reading, some watching television, some tucking their little ones in bed and shushing them to sleep, and some casting occasional glances at the bedroom window that faced the street. In some time, a sharp noise, accompanied by a shrilly voice, was heard all over the neighbourhood, “Clang! Clang! Clang! Ayo Goka!” And strangely, like clockwork, the lights went out, the sounds died down, and a blanket of silence descended over the locality. Sebu’s footsteps echoed softly on the pavement as he moved through the colony. The chilly night air wrapped around him like a familiar blanket, and the rhythmic tap of his bamboo stick against the metal gates became the neighborhood’s lullaby. A tall, lanky figure, clad in a beige uniform and a heavy jacket, strolled the streets with a bamboo stick in hand....

Oh, please! Stop.   I'm done—   I’m done with your empty words.   Your praises,   I shan't sing,   Your petty ego,   I shan't fuel.   Let’s face it—   The truth,   The bitter, hard truth.   No more sweeping   Under the carpet.   You’re not even half the person   You claim to be.   Narcissistic, pompous,   Retarded and cold,   Self-centered, self-obsessed.   Through your eyes,   I will no longer look—   Not at myself,   But at the shadow you tried to cast.   For I am ME.   My self-image is no longer dictated   By your toxic beliefs.   That’s enough of your gaslighting, mate.   Let’s call it quits.   Your relentless gloating,   I won’t hear it—   You’re an empty vessel, ...

To all the heroes every child’s first, yet so often unsung here’s to celebrating YOU. For all that you’ve done, for all that you do, for simply being there... for just being you. Quietly staying in the shadows, away from the limelight, away from the noise being the silver lining behind every dark cloud, holding back tears, spreading warmth, and reminding us of the light when all we see is dark. Here’s to celebrating this incredible human we’re lucky enough to call, DAD. Happy Father’s Day! — AeVey J ________________________________________ Author's Note: The Wayfarer Lamps  - A Father’s Day Tribute by AeVey J Fatherhood is often the quieter story, the one without grand declarations, but filled with steady love and silent sacrifices. This piece is for those men who don’t seek applause, yet shape our worlds with quiet grace. If you’re reading this and thinking of someone - your father, a mentor, a father figure - share it with them. Let them know they’...
