Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

the sea calls us home

Guided by the moon

The undying sail the sea

West to Valinor

Thanks to Sadje for Keeping It Alive  When I saw this picture (for her What Do You See challenge), the end of the Lord of the Rings saga immediately popped into my head. So here is my (with apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien for my rather lame and by Tolkien standards way too short) ode to setting off from the Grey Havens headed to Valinor.

I Will Not Cower

I will not cower

from the fragments of my mind

To feel is to live

I’m feeling (and thinking) all kinds of things this week. End of the world? (Hope not.) End of TRump? (Yes please!) Do I have enough tp? (Are you kiddin’ me with that question!) Will my parents be ok? (YES! Yes?) Will I be OK? (?) Should I go to …? (Probably not.) And so on and so on ….

So I’m trying to feel the feels, think the thoughts, and then let then go and move on to the next thing. We’ll see how it goes 😉

So thanks to following for great prompts that allowed me to channel some of feels and thinks into words.

What Do I See  for providing an awesome visual and Ronovan Writes for the word prompts of “think” (I substituted feel) and “shrink” (I substituted cower).

footsteps

footsteps in the sand

brief pages of perfection

in the book of life
