Adding Elegance
It takes a file filled
With all the clippings taken
From the words we kept
To organize the meanings
Settling each charge from debt.
Vocabulary
Slides lives from mediocre
To positions of
Immaculate deference,
Respect meted out with cheer.
You are only you
But also superior
Than the offering
Made any previous day
Before you became this way.
Love, you believe it
A gift only made a blessing,
But each day in life
Provided chance perfections
Given to create right choice.
The hand held in yours
Is not a random occurrence
Preparation brought
From there to here this moment
Two were two, alone apart.
It Was
How the hurting coiled
Around the trigger finger,
The rifle nearby,
Block filled with sharpened knives,
Bottles fresh bought, many pills,
A vehicle with speed against to slam,
Phone, with numbers collected
Strength still to override
Make the call, a friend, to rouse
The will to hang on longer yet.
So the news is spared today,
Maybe much longer, a run of time,
Marching to a natural conclusion,
Never doubt the worth of soothing.
Prompt:
If you have ever felt down in your socks or up in the rafters, create something that brings it to life for your audience.
