I Struggle

B&P Shadorma  for Nov 5, 2016

Today’s poem is “Traveling Through the Dark” by William E. Stafford:

Here is my Shadorma inspired by this poem

~

right or wrong
is not always clear
I struggle
heart and head
do battle in the darkness
while my soul seeks peace

Doldrums and Dragonflies

Even in flight

I am not alone

Cradled

By the zephyrs

Warm embrace

This too is my calm

My inner field of felicity

Double-winged, I will sing

To the flutter of my heart

In shades of iridescence

~

Mish has amazed me once again with this poem inspired by my dragonfly photo.

A Wire Poem

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

Love Note
Send me a wire
A tweet
A message

Write it on paper
Or in the sand

Put it in a bottle
For me to find along the shore
Write it in the clouds
Trail it behind a plane

Pound it out on a
Hollow log
Call me

Come knock on my door
Look in my eyes
Tell me you love me

Imagine If

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

Imagine If

The moon has gone to the dark side
Leaving only stars to light the night
Battles break out between Orion
And The Sisters about who will rule
The Milky Way curdles
The dippers spill out the space junk
They’ve been collecting while
The Bull charges madly across the sky
And we are left spooning by the
Light of The Swan

We Wait

For ashen skies to

Drift and greet the sun

For time to turn this

Turmoil to tranquility

As gifted abilities

Go to waste

We wait for walls to

Fall but they will stand

Unbroken as long as
Goals remain unspoken

We wait for peace

To magically evolve

Like childhood dreams

And it clearly seems

That we have lost our way
