Within the bleakness
of heavy skies, a single
#ray. A sunbeam ushers
in a renewed hope
for the day.

Thank you 😊

It was an inverse
of emotions
the reddish
iron-rich sky,
smoldering fury
of a dust storm.
Settles & then
clears in time
for the soft blue tint
of a #martian sunset.

Thanks 🙏

There’s this lingering
feeling like a #saucer
that #hovers above
the surface. Emitting
an #energy that alters
the very #atoms
of my being.
My soul softly
fleeting. I’m drifting,
slipping into
the unknown.

These tears
bring rain
to #arid soil.

1947,
lightning-like
flash in the sky.
A crash & #unearthly
rubble & remains
left to be found
in the desert.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt #roswell

The night fell
& I’ve lost
my #chance.
Only waiting
now for
tomorrow’s
dawn. So
hopefully
I can
begin anew.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

My #conscious being
lost within dreams.
Dreaming deeply
forgotten memories.
Playing scenarios
I wouldn’t otherwise
would’ve imagined.
Waking up
& wondering
was it nothing
more than a dream?
I was left questioning.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

Serenity has
eluded me
constantly
dwelling on
an #arbitrary past
that I refuse
to let go of…

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

#Sentient no more,
not even a robot,
an automaton.
No longer a being.
A hollow shell
of a soul that doesn’t
love or think anymore.
Moments forgotten
& gone. An old book
dusted & worn
in a language
that is spoken
no more.

Thank you 🙏

Ambient morning
light shines into
the room. The bitter
taste of coffee lingers
on my tongue. Outside
the morning air has
an earthy scent, maybe
it had sprinkled
sometime during
the night. Today, I
took in the #mundane
before rushing into
another arduous day.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

#Vigil candles
lit thru the night,
gleaming
luminously,
flickering
tears
of remembrance.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

Fallen valor,
the stakes have
become too grave.
Desperation sets in,
adrenaline #seethes.
The moment has
finally come to this.
A breath, then exhale.
The tipping point
has passed, time
for healing at last.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

#Pummel
until bruised.
Yet in the end
I can still stand.
In the end
I withstood
the worst.
Yet my will
endured.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

Thank you!

I’ve become
too digitized.
My longings have
been copied & pasted
too many times, too
compressed, my dreams
are now pixelated.
I’m suffering from
a lack of imagination.
In desperate need
of some #pixie dust
to sprinkle some
wonder back
into my life.
To dream so vividly
once again.

#vss365 #poem

These #wings
disintegrate
like Icarus’s.
Folding onto
themselves,
I took a great
plunge. Never
have I thought
I could fly
so high
to then fall
from such
great heights.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

There’s a #hum
in the breeze
as the trees sing
in a language
if we listen closely
maybe we can
comprehend.
Whispers of
seasonal changes
or a mournful dirge
of an endless drought.
A symphony of nature,
resonating from a gust
before a storm.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

You’re welcome! I’m sorry for your loss. I’m also going through some grieving, but glad it was able to help. Take care!

Thank you, I really appreciate it 🙏!

Watching the branches
sway, I fell asleep
while laying beneath
the old #elm tree.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

The sky opened up
& I fell, plunging
into the depths.
Being caught
within the tides
& currents. Holding
my breath until
hopefully I can
breathe once again.
Once the calm
of the #sapphire
blue of the ocean
returns. Somehow,
I survived beneath
the now settled sky.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt

I woke up
to the song
of a #sparrow
outside my window.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #prompt #haiku

Thank you 🙏

Thank you!

Life comes in moments
I don’t know if it’s fate
& by design or by complete
accident or circumstance.
I’d given up on destinies,
no point on pursuing
such fantasies. But
chance shall have it
that somehow our lives
should intersect
& I couldn’t be more
happier for this sincere
#happenstance.

The sky bled in #crimson
this morning, the clouds
painted in the deepest
of reds. The dawn rises
over the mountains,
casting a luminous
glow until the blues
soften the sky
for a new day.
