Awakening
Trauma bequeathed from generation to generation. I extirpate it with awareness, and alchemise the components into love.

Still foggy from the long sleep, we stumbled about the bridge in slow-motion panic. Our robotic crew was gone, leaving only a cryptic message: "To the universe, we #bequeath peace." They had pointed us at a black hole and removed all ability to change course. #vss365 2/2
To my wife, I #bequeath my selective deafness.
To my eldest son, I bequeath my lack of style.
To my daughter, I bequeath my ability to embarrass at all times.
To my youngest son, I bequeath my stubbornness.
And to everyone else - you have enough greed without mine.

My aunt left me Sebastian since I was the only family who hadn't the heart to sell him or anything. A feathery biohazard who squawked sit com lines, I bore him begrudgingly until one night I heard "MY SANDWICH!" And woke to find the house aflame. Thanks Sebastian.

Honor he will #bequeath
With the laying of a wreath
Certainly it is not beneath
The king as he also draws
His sword from its sheath
#vss365 #writingprompt #poem
#bequeath me your passion
make me glow
radiant in the aftermath
a souvenir of your love

From the #vss365 jukebox, I #bequeath to you the energy of this song. Amyl and the Sniffers, U Should Not Be Doing That.

You never meant to #bequeath me your anger. It was supposed to be strength and something to do with determination, but you left it to me filtered through obstinance and the volume of your voice. It burns as much to throw it as to hold it. There may be fight in me still, but it isn't yours.

“But I don’t know what the answer is yet,” said Mia.
“Make sure you catch Ari’s bouquet, at least let her #bequeath that much,” said Dan. “Tom always wanted to get married. Ironically the best woman for him doesn’t.”
“Guilt-tripping me isn’t going to help your cause.” #vss365
the things you held close
did you mean to #bequeath them
or just keep them all your days?
i haven't tended with the reverence I should, but i feel you watching over them
maybe passed on for convenience
of collective gentle haunting, in a basement museum to all you loved
or as a signal

Forgotten words...
I #bequeath you
With my broken heart
Don't forget to heal it
With an occasional poetry...
On his deathbed the man wished to #bequeath his most precious possession to his estranged son.
Not a bad quest, though too much like a fetch quest.
What made it more difficult was that the son had become a pirate in the intervening time.
A particularly vicious pirate.

I #bequeath to you his eyes of blue
Of slumbering and Skye
Our idylls seem now but a dream
A trick of smoke and rye
Take you now his faithless heart
Carved out with silver spoon
And raise a glass of usquebaugh
Beneath this hunter's moon.
