Justing

Spotted this weekend in a river nearby
flow
with joy
time will tell
the right moment
not a second more
and not a second less
listen, your intuition
sailing in turbulent waters
let go of the grip, breathe in and out
sparkling water will show the direction

Joining the W3 prompt this week with an Etheree poem.

II. Violet’s prompt guidelines

Choose a word from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and make it the title of your poem. Your poem should either use the word directly or capture the essence of its meaning. Include a direct link to the word’s page so readers can explore its definition and origin. Write in any poetic form you wish.

I’ve chosen JUSTING, check the meaning here.

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!

Autumn sunset

Sunset on Oct 27th – no filter applied!
Peacing my thoughts
Before the world darks
I forwarded myself into the light
Believing that magic still exits

I hearted my feelings
For a few minutes
The golden possibled my being
Magnetically

I listened to my intuition
And didn’t science my soul
I let go of expectations
I was sevening again

Joining Moonwashed Musings – the prompt is Magnetic

W3 :: The changing seasons

Starting a new life
Precious moments are always remembered 
Resilience
Instigated by curiosity
Never look back
Give yourself a chance 
Sun, sea, and sand
Unforgettable moments
Memories of freedom
Memories of joy
Excitation and whispers
Recreating dreams
Falling 
Apart, melancholy
Letting go of the faith
Leading you to the abysm
Wonderland
Investing in yourself
Never gives up
The transition is short
Eternal hope
Releasing guilt
