What Do You See #136 – May 30, 2022
A cut soul bleeds
stained tears upon
her face
a betrayal so deep
words cannot express
her face
the completed masterpiece
sorrow’s beauty

Burdened
In Response To:
Sadje’s What Do You See #135 – May 23, 2022 – Write an original story, poem or a caption.
Yet another path to walk
an unending journey in life
sometimes tiring to endure
will it be winding, rugged,
smooth or straight with
obstacles to overcome or
this time will it be the path
I hunger and ache for
gentle, loving, peaceful
a place where I can
finally experience rest
for my body and soul…
only time will tell

Crumbled To Love

Beyond the wall…
there lies a lush green meadow
where Love is allowed to prosper
beyond the wall…
that first must crumble

So Beautifully Flawed

If all you see
is the facade
of this mask
then you do not see me
Look beyond my skin color
and this imperfect body
gaze into my eyes
see this soul’s light
filled with Love
that accepts you
just as you are
as we all are…
so beautifully flawed.

This desolate place
an embittered soul
with only a vague inkling
a memory of the vibrancy
that once was alive…
Now ravaged by life’s cruelty
cluttered in pain, sorrow, anger
aching for the Gardner to
tend and cultivate this
apathetic garden
that it may once again
thrive with blossoms of
hope, joy, and love
A bright light that
shall shine upon life’s cruelty
and defeat its purpose to destroy…
victory in defiance.
Tilling Of The Heart
In Response To:
Word Of The Day Challenge – Tenderness
Crimson’s Creative Challenge #114 – Every Wednesday I post a photo. You respond with something CREATIVE.
Like the ground frozen over
in the midst of the bitter cold
so can the heart become also
filled with unnourished dead weeds
leaving the heart in a comatose state
yet when a seed of tenderness is
sown into an unhealed heart it
shall melt the bitter cold
creating abundantly fertile soil
that sprouts new hope filled life
flowing with eternal springs of
Living Waters!

Beyond The Human Eye

Sue Vincent’s Weekly Thursday Photo Prompt – Keep #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 castle’s remnant
stands lone in the distance
having survived
years of weathering
yet still maintains
its original, unique beauty
with which it was made
a beauty that will never fade
through the eyes of the cross…
a love that sees beauty
in weathered flaws
beyond the human eye.

Bare Beauty
can be seen through
the Light
of Holy smoke

what is Sacred

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.
