I know I’m late to this challenge but I was feeling inspired. Thanks to Dverse Poets Quadrille Monday!
No longer, not yet
As my broken heart beats on
Still, fragmented, yet
Merril at https://dversepoets.com/2023/08/15/poetics-august-transitions/ has asked us to consider a transitional time in our lives. Still struggling with a recent loss, I’m in the midst of figuring out how to heal. Writing helps, when I let it.
Another day gone
Words muddled and lost in grief
We stumble forward
Thanks for the inspiration go to Fandango’s WOD Challenge of STUMBLE.
Rising from the depths,
the solo flame meets daylight.
In concert, they join
to purge the night’s dark shadows.
Illuminating new hope.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but I’m determined to make time in 2023! So thanks to MindLoveMiserysMenagerie’s Photo Challenge and Linda Hill’s JusJotJan challenge for getting me back in the game. Please visit their sites for guidelines for the challenges and for some great writing.
Here’s to purging the shadows!
