Something broke that day
Another world beckoned her
No going back now
In my mind, this is a quasi-companion piece to yesterday’s Friday Fictioner’s piece. But interpret it as you like.

hope in the stars
elated i lay
under a star near the sea
as hate drifts away
Channeling hopeful thoughts. Thanks to Ronovan Writes and Putting My Feet in the Dirt for their inspiration.
transformation
As part of Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I’m posting this haiku from 2/21/2019 inspired by Sue’s Write Photo challenge (photo below).
Resolute they wait
Imprisoned in time and space
Anticipating
Today, I’m a little less hopeful, thus an updated reflection …
time’s transformation
quiets anticipation
as it erodes hope
in the stillness
in the stillness, light
pushing against the darkness
a promise laid bare
Thanks to Sue and her #writephoto challenge and photo.
I’ve been struggling with … a lot these past few weeks. And as I try to dig myself out of my funk, writing this reminded me that I’ll be OK. The light will return if I let it in. (I hope.)
A Change is Gonna Come (Hopefully)
The world spins around
Bringing a spark of new hope
As fuel for the flames
I’ve been WP MIA for a couple of weeks. Between the heat and the constant rain and the general state of our world, I’ve been uninspired or depressed or lethargic. “Whatever” has been my go-to feeling of late. Ugh. But I’m trying to lift myself out of it. So thanks to Sue’s beautiful photo challenge for giving me a hopeful image to go along with the spark of hope coming out of Puerto Rico.
I’ll leave you with my title inspiration-Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.”
Peace.
