A lambent love
for all the world
to see

But what
a fire for
you and I

#rss365 #prompt #lambent

When I tried
to stay the same

when I picked up
the pieces
and packed them
away

when I made
desperate effort
to begin again

from any moment
before her end

that's when
a new pain came

a fresh, wet fear

born from
my reluctance
and aversion
to the certainty
of change

Two birds, one stone. Two prompts, one poem.

I felt blocked today, somewhat anxious. Caretaking an aging parent can be arduous. It's important to conjure some me time...

Beyond mantic lore
Take pause to beholden him
His luminous soul

Something old, from the beginnings of melding my words with my photography.

Sometimes
he'd sit
on the floor

at the foot
of my bed

and thrum
upon his guitar

Sometimes
I'd sit

beside him
and

surprise him
when

I started
to sing
along

"I'd love to
assist you
in making sense
of it all

but first,

allow me to
obfuscate,"

says the voice
in my head

on any
given day

For a fleeting moment, I wasn't just stepping out of my car upon the driveway to retrieve the mail, but flying high above a snow-covered mountain range, destination unknown, feeling the spark, the #quiver of adventure.
