David was #harried. Who wouldn't be? He put away the shovel and went to bed. He buried himself in the down comforter, smiling as he got warmer. A thought flashed: "I should clean the blood off of the shovel." and then, "Nah, fuck it."

Beneath the gray #ash.
Embers rest unstoked
Beyond the misty cliffs
We await a new rising sun
For as long as one draws breath
More work remains to be done.

I can lend you my ear,
My heart and a tear
What more is there to share?
Other than showing I care
would there be a purer #altruism?
Than sharing the same fate
With you, my death-row prison cell mate.
#vss365#writing#writingCommunity#poetry
What if today is the day?
What if today you finally did it?
What would it be like?
Would there be #affinity? or aversion?
What if today, at long last,
With a sincere heart you did it.
What if today you finally met yourself?

The light gets low, the hour gets late
Each tick of the clock a hammer fall
Here at the end we face our fate
The darkness and the shameless hate
The #bulwark is our humanity,
Our brotherhood, our #amity#vss365#writing#writingCommunity#Poetry
Was I #aware
Of that fallen leaf?
A parting gift
From the tree of grief
Mired deep in my own sorrow
No time to mull
The dawning morrow
Had I but a chance to see
Behind each fallen leaf
Was a bud awaiting
To proffer verdant relief

@Fizzytwizler The tree's leaves in autumn seemingly reflecting the joy of every sunset it had felt through the ages. She stood there, as if claiming: "I stand motionless but not unmoved by beauty that surrounds me. Take of me, and take me in; for I shall remember you long after you are gone"
What cries echo in unholy night
When pain silenced, we start to feel
Lines crossed so far unnoticed
Become cuts no salve can heal
Here begins a great stirring
New banners now unfurling
Thus awoken, masses clamor
Unstoppable revolutionary #ardour#vss365#writing#writingCommunity
What embers deep within,
You stoke to make them burn?
What desire unfulfilled,
Forces you to turn?
Towards that uphill climb,
One small step at a time
What precious, untainted virtue
Drives you to still #continue?
#vss365#WritingCommunity#writing#poetry
That sound from an #apple falling
Like sighs from a mother fawning
That echoes into the future vast
Reflections of generations past
Who know what the tree thinks?
Easier to count the apples in the tree
Than to know the trees in a seed.

Do they stars know they are seen?
Does the breeze know it is missed?
Do waves crash to our ears alone?
Could the sun know it birthed life on this stone?
Does #sugar know it is sweet?
Does sweetness exist in our mind alone?
