Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

transformation

Tina Stewart Brakebill

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

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

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.
