In moments of surprise we catch at least a glimpse of the joy to which gratefulness opens the door.

Word Of The Day Challenge – Lukewarm
Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Dreamcatcher – March 4, 2021
Hope deferred
is like a
lukewarm blanket
in the heart
dreams and desires fade
I call to the Dreamcatcher…
Dreamcatcher catch for me
tears of sadness I cry and
return to me laughter
Dreamcatcher catch for me
the misery and despair and
return to me joy
Dreamcatcher catch for me
this life mundane and
return to me extraordinary
Dreamcatcher catch for me
loneliness in this heart and
return to me a soulmate
Dreamcatcher catch for me
fire that burns within the Sun and
return to me a passionate hope
setting free the lukewarm blanket
never to be returned.

Proverbs 13:12 (AMP)
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

Word For The Day…

There is within each of us a modulation, an inner exaltation, which lifts us above the buffetings with which events assail us. Likewise, it lifts us above dependence upon the gifts of events for our joy.

Life can survive in the constant shadow of illness, and even rise to moments of rampant joy, but the shadow remains, and one has to make space for it.
