Free Standing

Never give in, up,
To fade away, all die down,
Endeavor to share
The things found until changes
Hold fear no longer, but fly.

Love is the reason
No one can stoop low to die;
Life becomes complete.

As a prompt: Create work that might motivate someone who needs encouragement. What you do might help inspire beauty and wonder.

Second-Hand, Not

A love second-hand
Is not, because new feelings,
Different persons;
Trigger genuine effects
Never encountered before.
The distance between
Past, present, a vast ocean,
Cruised far beyond
The knowns of close acquaintance
Seeking safety, loyalty.
Love, sweet tenderness,
Chosen with care, discernment,
Creativity,
To become cherished comfort,
Stability, each hour, day.
Love, open passion
Making life a dream come true
Entangled, fresh, two.

Prompt: How do you feel about love? What do you know of it? Can you describe it in your words? Answer one or all of these questions, either in language or artwork.

I am grateful:

Writing has been less complicated in the last few days.
I have a lined journal again.
I have good taste.
I love reading.
Losing my place in time is not a terrible thing.

Thank you for sharing your day with me. If you have not followed the site, there is a button to the right. You may instead come back on your own, I hope.

Love, The Pieces

Love from the moment
Conceived within willing hearts,
Gentle, open minds,
Does forever then abide
Can never lose itself, die.
People sometimes part
But compassion, tenderness,
Somewhat may remain
No one touched by love, passion,
Is consigned to dungeon depths.
If only in dreams
Occasionally the soul
Will court memory
So pain is brief forgotten,
With ecstasy begotten.
Love is eternal,
It deserves respect, guarding,
An utmost treasure,
Lives creating paradise
Together despite tough years.
Love from the moment
Conceived within willing hearts,
Gentle, open minds,
Does forever then abide
Can never lose itself, die.

The light takes us from shadows to the illuminated world, LOVE, creativity’s source, and so much more.

Coming To Love, Life

Laying rhythm down
A beating heart encased in
Nature’s creation
God’s gift the animation,
Spirit, soul, imagination.
Endowed with talent
Passion, creativity
Living fantasy
Placing love before, behind,
Grace provides mercy needed.
Recognizing who
Becomes a sweet diversion,
Painting lightning with
Touch scoring the open heart
Marked, to belong henceforth.
Pleasing songs, apt words
Recited in perfect timing
Adventure calling
Love the meaning, need, being,
Defining every moment.

Prompt: What do you most desire in the coming year? State your intention; however you choose.

We begin new again. Thank you for visiting Haphazard Creative. Please follow the site or return as time allows. Comments are welcome and desired.
