rising together
yesterday not forgotten
but looking ahead
for the hope of tomorrow
is to become transcendent
Thanks to Colleen and her Tanka Tuesday Theme Prompt. Visit her site for details and great writing.
My tanka was inspired by current events as well as the provided theme: A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
“…Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time…”
Painting with my mind
I imagine a red bridge
Spanning the chasm
Thanks, as always, to Sue for hosting Write Photo and inspiring a sense of hope. Visit her page for the challenge guidelines and great writing.
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.
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.
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
