Spring’s Light
The Haunted Wordsmith Opposites Attract Challenge #20
For this challenge, I provide one word and a list of its antonyms. The challenge is to use the prompt word AND one (or more) of its antonyms in some form of writing (or creative work).
Today’s word: Soothe
Antonyms: distress, torment, torture, trouble
As I walk to the end
of this cold season
I see the light of Spring
dawn…causing me to pause
to see she is about to arrive
and soothe the distress
caused by a prolonged Winter
I long for the palliative kiss of a gentle breeze
instead of a disturbing cold wind’s freeze
and the calmative warmth of sun
cradling the body like a blanket
hues wonderment of blossoms growth
and the sweet aroma of breathing in
fresh new beginnings of rebirth
when joy becomes the soul’s dance
as hope causes the heart to prance
yes, Spring, I bid you come forth
dawn your light upon us all!

Word For The Day…

Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but . . . life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.

Word For The Day…
From Gratefulness.org
There is a hard truth to be told: before spring becomes beautiful, it is plug ugly, nothing but mud and muck. I have walked in the early spring through fields that will suck your boots off, a world so wet and woeful it makes you yearn for the return of ice. But in that muddy mess, the conditions for rebirth are being created.
