Time in a box If I could secure Time in a box I would keep it there, Dormant Release it only when I have time I’m ready for it I know myself I wouldn't need to steal a few minutes here and there, Day and night would bring me to light and surrender If I could secure Time in a box I would release it for The long summer days Sitting under the canopy of a coconut tree Looking at the sea I would release it for The fragrant spring days Breathing the scent of the flowers and my feet on the lawn I would release it for The cold winter days Enjoying the warm hearth and a cup of hot chocolate I would release it for The golden autumn days Crushing leaves and all the pumpkin spice If I could secure Time in a box I would release it for ...
And you? Would you secure Time or let it be free?
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Have you listened to poems instead of reading them? Last night I listened to two poems, the reader had a calm voice, and she advised us to close our eyes. It was such a powerful experience, a burst of creativity. Before sleeping I wrote the poem below, I had in mind the prompt for the 99-word challenge, Lady Shadow, and also I thought it is perfect for the Moonwashed challenge, Evolve.
You are not alone Within you There is a woman The true version of yourself The one that lurks in the dark The one that steps side by side with you The one that sees what you don’t see But remains quiet The one that talks to you through dreams and nightmares The one that holds you when you need it most You are not alone Listen to her and evolve The wise words of someone that sees the truth The shadow woman Carrying the experience of generations The ones that were here before you You are not alone
dark and cloudy days i'm scribbiling down the dreams spring isn't far away
I downloaded this book last night! I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down!
Lots of wonderful short stories about winter magic. It contains explanations for many Celtic terms, such as Yule, Solstice …, and the meaning of winter decorations we add to our house. And it has recipes! I can’t wait to try some of them.
And of course, being Colleen’s book it has to have poetry. Many beautiful poems in there, and the illustrations are lovely.
The poem below is an example of all the goodness you will find in this book.
exquisite carpet in a venue. it called my attention. of course, i had to click. i was there, stepping on that exquisite carpet. a moment in time has been recorded. i was there, i was present. a moment of mine.

Tanka Tuesday prompt is ‘share your day’. I have written a butterfly cinquain to describe a little bit of my early mornings.
transient as a scent a journey back to the past memories flashing
Gray tones, the closet is loaded
no feelings and expression in there
only a uniform for blending and never being seeing
between red, green, yellow, and pink
the gray scarf shall be chosen
blending, unseeing
red shoes, heels and lust the hidden shine of the past it will be revealed
The gray scarf is the Theme Prompt for Tanka Tuesday this week.
come all together together we are stronger strong as our pure faith the enemy is coming coming to break out our peace
