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

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
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #252: Opening
Rise
Earthy Scent rises
with the early morning mist
mushrooms and moss spring to life
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #249: Rise
Locked
Inside looking out
Many phases of the moon
Her last loving hug
Locked in with her memories
Grandma sheds a single tear
Time is most priceless possession to the elderly. So to treat them as if their time is “less than” or to prolong taking precious time away from loved ones is intolerably cruel. Instead of the elderly”taking one for the team” let’s work together so that families can reunite and be whole again.
Wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands. Let’s beat this thing before it is too late for your loved ones.
Dreamcatcher
Captured morning dew
Sparkles in her silken lair
Spider’s dreamcatcher
