Poetry Fear, Hope, New Year Leave a comment
Source: WeHeartIt
And so it begins
The first day of a
new year
The first day we
either face HOPE
or FEAR
No one knows
which the new year
will bring …
We have to roll
with the punches
and …
if at all possible
turn any FEAR
into our own
HOPE
and go on from there

Here is the Writing Outside the Lines challenge prompt for the week of September 27th:
You come upon a blue door in a stone wall. What happens next?
Prologue: This week has been a struggle for me … not to find time to write, but to take time to write … this prompt or anything else. Personal demons are chasing me and unfortunately they have won some days and I have won others … right now it is a draw because you can never really fight your demons and win.
Blue has always been my favorite color
from the clearest pale aqua to the
deep midnight sapphire blue
Blue comforts and consoles me
while at the same time
haunts me …
Sparkling blue sea water
Clear cold spring water
The artificial blue of a
man-made pool
all call my soul …
Reach out and comfort me
when life needs to be
Rejuvenated…
Refocused…
Renewed…
Yet …
Those deep dark midnight blues
hide my demons…
My fears…
My nightmares…
I long to open this door
This beautiful turquoise door
And find that clear cold spring
That restores me and makes me whole
waiting for me on the other side
But…
The fear that lives in midnight blue
Keeps me on the outside
Where it is safe in not knowing
what is on the other side
Feeling that the known at this
point is so much safer than
the unknown ever can and will be…

Poetry, Writing Outside the Line Death, Fear, Love, Sharing, Words 5 Comments
In response to Writing Outside the Lines challenge Prompt 7 for the week of September 20, 2015:
In our lives there are people, sometimes several, that we have things we want to talk to them about, something to tell them, something to share – good or bad, but the timing just is never right and those things go unsaid. Those things you could never tell go with you to the grave or at least are lost to the person you needed to tell when they go to theirs.
There are so many words
in my heart
in my mind
in my soul
that need to be said
that need to be shared
that need to be discussed
Yet…
Fear is keeping them to
myself … at least for now
Perhaps I will write them
all down and put them
in an envelope addressed
to you …
One that will be found by
some random individual
going through the detritus
of my sad life when I am
no more than dust on
a forgotten mantel
Maybe it will be mailed
perhaps it will be tossed
with all the other bits
and pieces collected for
years that no longer
have significance to
anyone …
living or dead
There is no guarantee
if mailed it will find
you …
Perhaps you have gone
ahead to pave the way
in the Universe for my
arrival …
Maybe then …
we will reconnect and
I can tell you
my thoughts…
my fears…
what all I held back
for years that needed
to be said…
And…
We will both laugh
because in the end
it really didn’t matter…

Poetry Fear, Greatness, life, Loss, Vulnerable Leave a comment
We blame the trials
in life on
hate…
fear…
loss…
BUT…
It all boils down to
Vulnerability …
Do we let it break us
OR…
Do we allow it to
lead us to
GREATNESS…
