Grey winter day amid the silence of ice and wind crows call dark wings in flight pieces of shadow against lowering clouds and it moves through me an unwinding ribbon of atavistic cold wrapping around my bones #vss365 #poetry #microstory #photo by Ralf Kistowski

soft sweep of wings silent flight ghostly messenger Athena speaks do you listen? #Poetryin13 #micropoetry #microstory #photo by Carrie Ann Grippo-Pike

watching moon-cast shadows how I feel like pieces of me scattered under blind stars on the wings of ravens a falling flight - vertigo and one by one I try to gather them up only to have them crumble into ashen dust as the nightwind sighs in regret #poetry #microstory #moonmystic

She walled up her heart and smiled #7wordspoet

I rue the day the glaciers melt & are replaced with mountains Unhomed a landscape it would be losing species by the thousands & though I'm told Antarctica was once rainforested & green A stunning cost to pay Those lives & artic scenes crashing into the sea #SlamWords #encore 3

~ Let's try to suppress the fears and save the certitudes, Reborn with one last glance and one thousand caresses, Let's try this one last time, see if it floats or sinks. Let's rewrite history, let's trade in the heart, let's bet eternity #vss365 #fear #poetry

#HaikuChallenge By the coastal shore turquoise water rhythms waves of the softest notes..

There is fear buried between every breath I take, a tumult of worry that it is hard to break, and in the yearning to escape from the trepidation I feel, I hold onto the hope that one day I might heal. #fear #poem

#3wordspoet Love laid bare...

In my #knowledge of love, I think that the timelessness of love is an emotion that runs out of #time. And what remains is a story sometimes in present and sometimes in past tense… #vss365 #knowledge #brknshards #time

Tie a piece of twine around your finger to remember, and tie the other end to a red kite you set free. Then hold a spelling bee for the winds and watch the clouds assemble like spectators. Somewhere a robin begins a journey inscribed on its bones before men wrestled flame. #poem

when world gets too much she pins emotion to her feet twirls and swirls in natural courtyard away from gaze sole swan in pond watches flushes seeing her grace #vss365 #flush *** when light spins out like a dervish from the mind in mad dance for outswirling the wind beautiful

I hold my trauma #flush against my heart; an anguish that often tears me apart, yet to allow it is my chance to let healing start. #vss365

To change from a liquid to a solid state by cold, to freeze, coagulate, curdle, become gelatinous or immobile. The Monday #vss365 #Prompt is #congeal Art by Andy Goldsworthy; British sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist

I am darkness defined, barefoot beneath these ashen skies, as my sorrow #congeals, yet a light still glows in my moon-grey eyes; I am a faded lament, waiting for my sorrow to disappear, yet I know not when, for I am still consumed by these doubts and fears. #vss365

Look at the sky

My heart is shattered, each sliver #needle sharp against my soul— I’ll keep piecing these fragments together in the hope that, one day, I’ll be whole. #vss365
