Pause
Breathe in
And breathe out
Blank pages wait
symphony of dreams
giving form to the notes
your faithful treasured freedom
jotting down the impossible
Smoothly guiding the pen through the lines
"Pause, breathe in and breathe out, blank pages wait"

Sixty-four
A number, a message,
Since the start
A breath and wisdom

Unexpectedly
Showing up, erasing the darkness
Harmony and peace
Self-determination

Number of squares in a chessboard
For the game players
Number of nucleotides in the genome
For the scientists

Some say it’s God’s number
Since the Tower of Babel
To I Ching
Present in many mystical things

Bringing light to the unknown

The W3 prompt this week is by Sheila

  • Form: Any poetic form;
  • Length: Exactly 64 words;
  • Must include: the words “dark” and “light” in any form

The number 64 has always been special to me. When I saw Sheila asked for a poem with 64 words I decided to write about the number 64 per si.

This number is present in many natural, mystical and scientific fields. I’ve pointed out some of them in my poem. Hope you enjoy it!
