one moment in time
to seize the impossible
and breathe in the now

Thanks to Dverse Poets! and their Leap day poetics challenge.
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
if I could be me
but wiser, softer, kinder
quiescent no more
the arrogance of youth shed
my chrysalis cracked open

This was inspired by Jetpack’s question of the day and by Susi’s post from today entitled Insulating. Thanks Susi!
muttering murmurs
the doors open on the right
light and sound distort
in the moment time stands still
static possibility

I ride the train a lot, so my mind went in many directions but the empty seats strongly evoked the ideas of loss and hope–that liminal moment of unknown. Thanks for the inspiration to Reena’s Xploration Challenge
Every day I pass this place and wonder.
Are you watching over me?
Did your passing change your face?
Does your smile ever reach your eyes?
Did your shattered fragments become whole?
Or are you still laughing as I stumble?

Not sure exactly what this is–poetry or flash or a weird combo, but thanks for the inspiration to girlie on the edge’s Six Sentence Story Challenge and Crimson’s Creative Challenge.
