As saturnine night descends
I, wrapped in starlight
Shatter into rhombus patterns
Shadow fragile, carbon scattered

Whisper
Freedom whispers…
Don’t stay in the lines
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #271: Whisper
Hope
Your loneliness was palpable
Bitter regret on my tongue
From all the lessons learned but forgotten
All the forever’s that never happened
I know I was not the salve you wanted
A poor substitute for the lost soul of your dreams
Instead of releasing you, I made it about me
And it was never about me
Yet to forgive myself has been the hardest lesson of all
The beauty in forgiveness is my hope for the future
So I am sorry
I release you
I release myself

Earth Day
Earth is resilient and she will survive. We humans are the ones in peril.
Future
Now the oldest generation
I hear the umpire call
“Batter up”

Perpendicular
While working from home
Can’t hear myself think
Distracted by the rhythm
Of my neighbors banging
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #269: Perpendicular
Vibrance
Memories
Sifting through lost memories
An entire life
Packed in a box
Bucket List
I whisper goodbye
As your hands grow cold in mine
An unfinished list
Opening
Sea of change
Creates an opening
For a new beginning
