Word For The Day…

Art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its handkerchief, that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance too.

Your Daily Word Prompt – Music – December 26, 2020

The symphony that plays

in a selfless soul 

~

the harmony heard when

feeding the poor

~

the angelic lyrics sung as

the hand of Love reaches

into another’s darkness

~

the eternal rhythm of Light

whilst compassion listens to

a weeping heart

~

the glorious melody of gratitude

vaccinating a dying spirit…

~

Hallowed compositions raising

souls to soar beyond

the realms of this world

We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in. Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces toward the light. Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty…We did not ask for this room or this music. But because we are here, let us dance.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #35 – Every Wednesday I post a photo & You respond with something CREATIVE.

Perpetual journey…

open paths with green pastures

broken roads with dark trails

frozen steps with no direction

rest areas with cradled grace…

and through it all

with a child-like heart

unencumbered

we will always hear the

music of our soul and dance

NaPoWriMo Challenge 2019 – Day 10

Your Daily Word Prompt – Flower – April 10, 2019

Word Of The Day Challenge – Vengeance

The Haunted Wordsmith Elemental Writing Challenge April 10, 2019

For this challenge, we will explore one of the four elements: air, earth, water, fire.  This week’s focus is Fire.  Simply use the word and/or image provided and be inspired by the natural element.

Today’s prompt and image: sizzling.

Sometimes another person’s tongue

can lead me into temptingly dark

thoughts of seeking vengeance embark

like cutting out the tongue leaving it

on a sizzling fire to burn split

and disintegrate into ashes lame

so no longer a soul it will defame…

but, then, by grace a better thought

comes to mind to relieve my distraught

and I choose the action of repentance

desiring to let love be the flower

that radiates its fragrance in my heart’s tower

allowing forgiveness to become the music I dance.
