at daybreak, hope dawns

joy of first sparrows singing

yesterday has passed

whether filled with strange moments

or wishing it hadn’t happened

today’s Light brings new choices

life’s joys and sorrows

hopes, dreams and new beginnings

promises to come

expectations and let downs

in all these things are blessings

to behold in the New Year

V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #73: Whole – Today’s challenge was inspired by Paul Vincent Cannon’s poem, To Be Made Whole.  All are invited to participate using whatever format of expression you wish.

The golden light of sunset creates the perfect retreat environment at the Grand Teton Mountains outside Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

a body worn out

a soul exhausted beyond

a sabbatical

desperately required

eyes closed the journey begins

rest to become whole again

Sadje’s Monday Challenge What Do You See? – Dear friends, as some of you know that our dear Hélène used to do this Prompt and after her sad departure, I have felt that this gap needs to be filled. I have decided to take this challenge up and as a trial I will post 4 challenges for next 4 Mondays at 12:00 am PST, every Monday morning. And we shall see where to go from there. I hope that you will respond with your posts.

Prompt #1:

stance of reverence

poised before amethyst sky

gesture of grandeur

SHE, the dragon, whose wings soar

against fury of tempest

yet SHE, is never shaken
