dare to live (a haiku)

future paths unknown

obscured by the veil of time

still, we dare to live

Thanks to Sadje’s WDYS Challenge for the beautiful inspiration.

sweet recollections

sunlit views from my window

la strada awakes

ITALY LAUNDRY

Thanks to Andrew and his Monday Washing Lines challenge for giving me a reason to reminisce about traveling and revisit old pictures.

This was the actual view from our apartment in Rome on our first trip to Italy. Oh sweet sweet memories!

impatient to shine

sunlight assails the night sky

a promise fulfilled

Thanks to Word Craft Poetry for the inspiration. For our synonym only challenge I’ve used impatient for eager and promise for hope

to defy the dark

I stand on the precipice

heart beating in time

as destiny’s reflection

brightens the murky waters

Thanks for the inspiration to Sue’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge. This is a bit of a companion piece to this morning’s piece for Sadje’s What Do You See challenge: the night before you left.

So visit it as well if you’d like. 🙂

did we dance that night

or only stroll ‘cross the bridge

as the stars grew bright

our path illuminated

but our destiny unknown
