Still Hoping For Bliss

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — August 25th

Thanks to FFF for reminding me I’ve been trying to keep hope alive for awhile 😉

No longer, not yet

As my broken heart beats on

Still, fragmented, yet

Merril at https://dversepoets.com/2023/08/15/poetics-august-transitions/ has asked us to consider a transitional time in our lives. Still struggling with a recent loss, I’m in the midst of figuring out how to heal. Writing helps, when I let it.

just for a moment

yesterday lives in color

then grief recalls time

I’m sure that “What I See” is deeply connected to my own recent loss (of my dad) but (to me) she looks so unbearably sad.

Visit Sadje’s What Do You See? and tell us what you see.

on whispering winds

words flutter, thoughts unspoken

hiding in plain sight

Thanks for the inspiration to Sue W and JC’s weekly prompt challenge word: HYDAN

Another day gone

Words muddled and lost in grief

We stumble forward

Thanks for the inspiration go to Fandango’s WOD Challenge of STUMBLE.
