Birth of the Lamb

The date is fuzzy
December, January
The birth, the lamb born
Twenty fifth or the seventh
Depends on what you believe

Where Is My Home?

Where Is My Home?

An Etheree

Psst
Hey you
Help, I'm lost
Where is my home
It is no longer
Bulldozed, trampled, gone
How can us fawns find safety
Where will we find food and shelter
Can we sleep in your backyard tonight
We have nowhere else to go, help us please

The poem, Where Is My Home? is written for WDYS prompt #312.

Flutter, Flutter

Flying high and low
Landing for a peek inside
Unique beings and places
Telling their stories
Tantalizing hues of light
Ethereal I appear to some
Reassuring, you are not alone

Flutter, Flutter is an original poem written in response to the picture prompt by Sadje.

Singing and Soaring

Singing and Soaring

A Tanka

Perched bird
Perched now I sit poised
Biding time patience takes flight
Singing a song chirp
Soaring over obstacles
Worries fade in the distance

Flowy Water Under the Bridge

Waterfall

Flowy Water Under the Bridge

Connections are the link
The link that binds
Binds 2 places or two things
What things and places?

The gap between resentment and love
Bridging the gap between the two
takes what? Connections

Resentment is coming down really fast
Over the edge the water cascades down
The bridge there as a buffer
Mediating between resentment and love

Once love is conquered
Renewed love starts to flow
Water under the bridge moves
Just as fast it tides below

Communication bridging connection
The bridge of communication leads to understanding
Understanding opens hearts wide and far
Once hearts are open; the bridge leads to loving-kindness

Flowy Water Under the Bridge is written in response to the picture prompt.

A Tanka

So calm and serene
Only the sounds of nature
Leaves rustling beneath
Twigs snapping under my weight
Ambient, soft, like cashmere

A Tanka

Just another day
Pizza or McDonald's, hmm
In the neighborhood
We at Lincoln Park chillin'
Sit down, relax, be easy

Such a Hurry

Sitting in wonder

Such a Hurry

A Tanka

Why such a hurry
People move in a scurry
No time for hello
Passersby in a flurry
Sitting I watch and worry

Luminous Ones

Luminous ones
Flying high above
Breath escaping lungs
Beautiful, beautiful belove

Spreading light into the dark
Shards of lightness lend a spark
To an otherwise blind sky
Your brightness leading the eye

Helping to make things clear
Letting the night lift the fear
Accompanying the moon, you are near
When the sun goes down, luminous ones appear

The night no longer scary
Look up and you discover
Concerns of danger are nary
No longer lurking, no room to hover

Luminous ones, luminous ones
So dear to me, flying so light and free
Teaching many to see the bright side
It’s always there, use your cre a ti vi ty

Luminous Ones is written in response to Sadje’s picture prompt.

Cracking the Concrete Stone

Image Credit: Marianna Smiley on Unsplash
Concrete outer shell
So hard and cold
Full of cracks
From head to toe

Break through
Will quickly reveal
The hardness is hollow
Not as solid as it seems

Beneath the facade
Softer inner core
Unveiled and vulnerable
Out there for all to see

Hardness uncloaked
Softness appeared
With eyes closed
It's difficult to see

Widened pupils recognize
Duality unfolds
Revealing what's underneath
The crackling concrete stone

This writing is in response to the picture prompt by Sadje.

Come Into the Light

Come Into the Light

Come into the light
All is not lost
Life can be a conundrum
Which do you choose; fight or flight?

Come into the light
Flames are still smoldering
Calling for your attention
Release the pressures you are shouldering

Come into the light
Turn on the wick
Accept light and love
Fulfillment comes real quick

Come into the light
Whether you choose fight or flight
Flames are still smoldering
Accept light and love

Come into the light was written in response to the picture prompt by Sadje, What do you see # 222- January 22, 2024.
