She danced
As if everyone was watching
Everyone was
She danced
All the better for it
Though some grew anxious as
She danced
Fearless
Spin ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #350
Spinning uncontrolled
Dizzy and stumbling about
Giddy as a child
Safe Harbour
Enveloped in the safe harbour of your arms
The pain
The fear
The anguish
Drawn away with the tide
I drift in the ocean of calm that is you
Until peace washes over me
Drifting not Adrift
When I lost her
Some small but integral
Part of my being
Broke away
For a while
It floated nearby
Just out of reach
Yet a lingering presence
The current of time
The drift of the everyday
That Island of her
Receded further and further
Until one day
I scanned the horizon
No Island was there
A single tear fell into the sea
The sea was unperturbed
It said to me
You have learned to live without her
That is all
I understood
I had forgiven her
And myself
For our breakup
I’d allowed the blame
To drift away
Which made me
Whole again
Tide’s Out
Sun hangs low on the horizon
Light subdued behind cloud bands
Tide well out
Yet still receding with haste
Earth’s exhaustion
Feels equal to my own
So I amble back to the trailer
With daylight’s final ember
Sizzling out
On the muddy shore
Long days on the road
Have eaten away
At my reserves
So the tide may remain out
For a few days yet
While my inner sun
Recharges
Under the wan light
Of stars in a new moon sky
Love ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #347
They call this “golden hour”
But every hour spent with you
Is golden
Moon Rise
The sun bid good night
The moon rubbed sleep from her eyes
“Woo hooo!!! Let’s party!”
Perfect Light
Every now and again
Nature conspires with time
To create moments
Of utter perfection
While I am graced
With permission
Not only to witness
But record
Today and Tomorrow
Day’s end
Indigo encroaches
On amber and rose
Tomorrow encroaches
On today in my mind
