for this short life of blossoms and rain

Trails strewn like a pack of cards in a game of 52 Pick Up. Which to take? Doesn’t matter. We’re on the coast? A few will surely lead to the dunes and others to headlands who prefer benches and no brine.

The nuns take the flowers from the caskets. They reduce their essence over days until they are left with a paste, sturdy enough to form rosary beads. Mourners leave with the scented beads to finger during their prayers. #SenseWrds #writingprompts

#sensewrds 269 shattering autumnal breeze

That sound.

It's not the wind
as it blisters the fault-lines
in my heart.

It's not the leaf-crackle
as green turns to orange turns to yellow
under my skin.

It's not ice in a whisky glass
my face in the mirror
in pieces on the floor.

I'm not that sound.

Seasonal glee
blow on me
tatter me down
from this tree
let me spin
across the path
this is my ‘leaf dance’

#Sensewrds 269

cracks of kintsugi
stained glass
of the soul
clouds and demons
we try to hide
but we are all human

#SenseWrds 267
Written, bruised, skies

Bits of shells and acorn hats
Nuts that were green are brown
North wind through the oaks

#sensewrds 269

The wind causes havoc
breaking the silence
of a long summer
golden brown leaves
make a carpet on the grass
as we move into a new season

#SenseWrds Prompt 269
#Poetry

Delicate plans take flight
Lying on the grass eyes lightly closed
Sunlight amber honey behind the lids
All is sweetness during that hour
Until lunch break ends
And vines of obligation take hold
Because we are
Hungry animals after all

#sensewrds 268

Summer's illusion
Swept away, winds of decay,
Season of the worm.

rotation
…
evening's falling leaves
splintering glass, hardening grass
soft winds tousling hair

seasons return endlessly
and we rotate willfully
…

Prompt 269

A pivotal moment
The glass slipping from her hand Breaking violently into pieces
Beginning in a different season
A cool zephyr drifts in through
the window
She pauses in a hushed life
Remembering all she has lost

#SenseWrds

Ionic channels rooted for the elements..

#SenseWrds (265) #nature

The wind blows
a rustling thru
my bones.
A shudder
comes over me,
left me
unraveling. . . .

#SenseWrds #poem #poetry #prompt269 #prompts

some days
I think less about
what you imagine about me

but whether I imagined you

if I did,
I'd probably
fall to pieces

couldn't it have been day
and now it's just
night?

because
maybe I am a villain

but tell me
that for a moment
when your breath
was on my neck

I was
perfection

#SenseWrds 269

Death is
transcended
by the Eternal -
the Heavens
can still wash
both away.
