Madness of nation’s darkness

moments of light

few and far between

soul’s embitterment

taste intolerable

attempting to recall

memories of sweet

failure brings surrender

powerlessness cloaks eyes

exhale…inhale…

smell transition’s aroma

just as nature’s 

change of season

a promise to trust

good shall rise up and

shine like Autumn’s brilliance

laying to rest 

death’s shadows

upon humanity.

Tis August’s arrival

quiet moments

soul stills and

listens…

as Summer begins

to say her good-byes

stepping stones of

Autumn’s whispers

can be heard as

its footprints reveal

the coming brilliance

igniting soul’s hearth

The beauty of newly 

blossomed flowers

cleansing and refreshment 

of a Spring rain

warmth of the Sun’s shine

all these things

Grace brings to us

a contribution of Hope

to enlighten our souls

in this season of 

strengthening our faith

to see Light meeting us

where we are at in

times of uncertainty

a Comfort that reassures and

reminds us that we are 

never alone despite the 

outer circumstances of our lives

that may make us feel

and think that we are

Courage to see beyond 

fear, chaos and unsettlement 

to the Peace of knowing 

we are cared for by a

Greater Love that never 

fails nor forsakes us 

even when we forsake that

Greater Love.

leaving behind

the world’s craze

Sue Vincent’s Thursday Photo Prompt – Torrent #writephoto – Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, as long as it is fairly family-friendly.

A torrent came upon this soul

from whence I knew naught

it was not winsome nor was it cliche

this torrent tumbled me and dropped 

me over the edge beyond depths

of waters I had seen before…

It was different, it was new

scary, yet exhilarating…testing my

trust to go beyond myself and 

surrender to the Power that metamorphose

in unknown ways higher, greater than

what the human mind could ever conceive

a truly transformative gift of Love!

Sue Vincent’s Thursday Photo Prompt – Entrance #writephoto – Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, as long as it is fairly family-friendly.

Flirting with temptation

a deadly habit where

things and people outside oneself

become lord and master 

over the soul leading

to the threshold of

an entrance to a dark dwelling

where the soul remains

until in its bankruptcy

no light is found to be seen

a most beautiful place to be

to know the frailty of human

it is then the soul cries out

and Daylight dawns turning

frailty into Strength

laying to rest the deadly power

that once held the soul prisoner

Tears and laughter

dwell in the same garden

growing next to each other

in nourishing harmony

to root deeper and

strengthen one another

for weeping causes a 

deeper genuine laughter

and laughter heals

what was wept 

both equally important

in the cultivating of

the garden’s grandeur

unselfish love for humanity

Free Will

In Response To:

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #60 – Every Wednesday I post a photo.  You respond with something CREATIVE.

Behind the steel bars

is a tunnel that leads to

a prison of lost dreams,

deferred hope, abandoned faith

endless wandering through

mazes that can only be felt

for in this there is no sight…

until weariness meets humility

and the soul’s patina becomes 

new again unlocking the bars

setting free what was once

drowning in the sewage of despair.

Life can begin again at any time,

any moment of the day, by choice.
