What you hear is lower than a fjord but deeper than most secrets.

They speak of their past and the ones blessed with those stories must carry on with better futures.

The next #vss365 #prompt is #sound.

#artificial words
a #skeptical text
confidence #crashed

unexpected
offensive
#calm #forsaken

hope diminished
into emotional whiplash

I love rocking
my little world
beyond
my study window

poetry
can spin
on a spindle

and I knit
and crochet
the threads

but
appointments
shopping lists
bills
still threaten

my demons
in disguise

so I rely on
my nightly
#delta waves
to erase them

allowing
my creative soul
to energise

#vss365

What began as a faint glow at the leading edges of the #delta wing-body had brightened into an enveloping orange sheath.

"How does it feel to be the fastest pilot alive?" asked control.

I smiled. Yet cruising at the edge of the atmosphere, I longed for a clearer view.

#vss365 A #delta choked on its own heavy mire. The waterway looked less like liquid and more like polished slate under the iron-gray sky. The alluvial gods of mud, salt-crust, and rot endured in a state of simmering resentment, nursing ancient grudges against the sky gods who claimed the heavens.

"Fortune."

More strange fruit
put up them delta trees.

four of
her own.

What does it feel like
To have the #Delta blues
In your bones?

What does it feel like
To live a life
That’s truly alone?

I’ve had the fellowship
Of the Spirit
Since I was 21

And I don’t want
Anyone
To go it alone

God is your friend
God is your friend
So let the Spirit in

Firey red waters

A river lives
in quantum time

Born at its source
it rolls and flows
to its delta death

it is life beginning
and ending
simultaneously

Birth and death
Alpha and Omega

mother nature plays
cat's cradle in the wetlands
ocean plucks the strings

words repeated like rocks
are there deltas in time-lines?
stream of life flows on

Sigma Omnicron Nu, this is #Delta Alpha Delta, come in.
Daaaad! I'm trying to sleep! And we don't have a shortwave radio. I can hear you breathing through the door!
Roger that. Sleep tight and don't let the scarabs bite!
That's Egyptian, dad, not Greek!
Buenos noches, amigo.

reality came #crashing down
wide-eyed excitement #fizzled

#skepticism seeped in at rapid speed
the #delta variant had turned deadly

as the world prepared
for the worst outbreak in recent history

"That's very clearly what's left of an ancient #delta."

"On Mars?"

"On Mars. And we're going to have water flowing there again."

Delta means change. Difference. It was with the greatest hope that Toni named her daughter #Delta. She hoped she change the world, but most of all, she knew she would change herself and Toni. #vss365 #microfiction #skywrite

​Shepherding a gentleman more devoted to a sharp rowing finish than a sound Greats finish was tedious business, but a guinea is a guinea. If an aristocrat cared to empty his sovereign purse over a #delta son, I was quite willing to bleed that blood to nourish my own pocket-book.
