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.

day dreaming
reverie broken
memories wet on my cheek
a dream in a tear
Thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt and to Fandango for two great ideas that worked perfectly together.

Then Chaos
I originally wrote this way back in June of 2018 but it still (sadly) fits my mood AND although it may be bending the rules a bit to use an old piece, it (more happily) perfectly fits Linda’s final JusJoJan prompt “chaos”.
Thanks Linda. Sorry I wasn’t more present in January but … well you know. CHAOS.
Fresh Start Begins, Then

Desires: Lost or Found
Enflamed and engorged
My heart beats a bloody red
Echoing desires
For the delights of lost nights
Or the release of found days
This Tanka was inspired by two separate challenges. First, I love the phrase “echoing desires,” which was our challenge phrase from Putting My Feet in the Dirt. Secondly, Reena’s challenge to think about perspective got me thinking about the complicated idea of desire. Desire is very much a two- (or more) sided emotion. Individually, desire can lead to ecstasy but it also can leave us searching for an escape. As a collective, one person’s delight can be another person’s nightmare. In some ways, it’s all about perspective. So, those thoughts translated as this piece. Hope you like it (or not) … cause that really is about your perspective 😉
Mother Earth: Nevertheless She Persisted
Dark seeps through the rift.
The creator of days persists
Still, the shadows grow.
Not feeling particularly hopeful or cheery tonight, but thanks for the inspiration go to Putting My Feet in the Dirt and Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt

And as an FYI, the super gloomy shadow shot is mine.
