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!
memories unbound
dusky hunger-sated nights
giving way at dawn

Inspired by the image provided by Mind Love Misery Menagerie’s Photo Challenge and Word Craft Poetry poet’s choice.
Bound in the shadows
tormented by memories
Autumn’s light beckons

Thanks to Mind Love Misery Menagerie’s Sunday Word challenge (tormented) and to Crispina Kemp’s Creative Challenge for the inspirational photo.
hope once gone returns
resurrecting the story
as paradigms shift

AUTHOR’S PHOTO
I had multiple inspirations today, but it began with Mind Love Misery Menagerie’s challenge to write about COPING. Add in the WOTD Challenge to use PLOT (for which I substituted “story”) and Fandango’s FOWC prompt of PARADIGM and here we are.
Here’s to a hopeful Sunday.
