@karencaseysmith Thank you Karen, yes, some experiences are collectively shared! 🙏🩵

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

Where
in this distant sky
was I meant
to believe
that grey would turn
to light
Where
in this depth of my soul
was I meant
to let my truth
shine
And where
in this destined twist
was I ever meant
to come out of
my night

@Tetrametracall1 Thank you Robert, always happy when you stop by🙏🙂

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

@Martian_New Lol! It's always nice when you share your thoughts, Martian!!

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

Yes I did
come out of evermore
to find the heart
I longed to beat
Yes I did
rise on your wings
accept the final note
So high for you
so low for me
A parallel moment
out of time
A fatal drop
from your sky

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

@Martian_New Oh that's a nice way of putting it🙂🙏

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

Did you take my spirit
into your firefly storms
Did I take your rawness
into my finesterre
Did we actually meet
in a space that never was
Or did I merely dance
between waterfalls
Falling
And falling fast

#vss365

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

I took a stand
The shadow all-consuming
The fall each time is harder
I hear melodies slipping by

I knew then I was made of song
To breathe word should mean to praise
But I had to bow my head
Without You in my heart
I can neither stand nor sing

#moonmystic #praisegod

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

I will say honestly
The way is paved with fire
The mirrors held up higher
I was called between the worlds

I loved all that I could
I said it with a prayer
The mirrors though are stronger
In His light
I have nowhere near a heart

@karencaseysmith Thank you Karen, I think this one came from my lyrical brain🙏☺️🌸

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

A 1000 years is not enough
to draw the salt from my core
Washed up too often
on this endless shore

Torrents of the Sea
don’t let me belong
Let me break these endless
waves
Let me find a new dawn

@karencaseysmith Wonderfully meaningful poem for this prompt, Karen, sad and true🩶

[𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗 💙💛🌊 @karencaseysmith]

#vss365 #deadfall
what chance did you have
in a deadfall of echoes
closed off from other worlds

I see you there
innocent eyes,
sweet child

they armed your heart
in wounding you
what is normal anyway
except what you get used to?

I wish you knew
no matter what they say
it doesn't have to stay this way

aren't there at least
a million kinds of normal?

@blsamaddar Amazing Bethany, what an exquisite, mysterious piece. How unusual for this prompt, absolutely love it!🩶

[Bethany Samaddar - popping in & out @blsamaddar]

The girl left a jar of blood for the tempest,
proof of what it already knew,
and a rune of all it didn’t know,
which could only be read
when the winds softened
to a #mother’s sigh,
and it remembered
her moonstone heart.

@FoxProse

I watch you from far

and you don't even know

distance is a tangy plum

purple skin dark

as a stretching night

veiling ancient fire

Oh mountain

with broad shoulders

like a god

in intricate entanglement

I watch you with more

than veneration

from afar—

as seeds slow-dream

themselves into sweet fruit

on evermore branches of sun

@MateiasVirginia I hope you are keeping well, dear friend

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

@karencaseysmith Yes, you are right, making sense is one of the big drives! Thank you for always sharing what you see in my poetry, it means a lot🙏🪷

[Carol Roberts @authorRobertsC]

Did I just create you
paint you
with my peripheral madness
Did you ever tell me
parallel me
into depths of sadness
Did we ever exist
Why couldn’t you resist
to gamble with my heart
