Open Soul

BOGO Lead
Very well then, now,
It is what it is, always
It cannot be changed.
As, ever, you were,
Make yourself comfortable;
Your life is your own.
Carry on, doing
Things that facilitate joy
You deserve your best.

Our love is a door
Held open, a passage through
A step together
Into the present alive
Building futures, extreme dreams.

As a prompt, take a common phrase or several and use them as a starting point to create. Enliven the creations with meaning perhaps gained somewhere else.
I am grateful:
- Alex had a safe trip and obtained his objective.
- I finally got extra sleep last night.
- I finished reading an eBook.
- I may get a super birthday present. Depends.
- All the blessings of my life, too many to count,
When the quiet haunts,
The doubts seem set-up to stay;
Christ wipes them away.
Believe in your dear held hopes and dreams, but move forward. Banish doubt, you are much stronger and more capable than you may think. Blessing to you all. I hope you found something of inspiration and you will find your way here again. Roaring 2020, be bold, brave, and excellent.

Without Words Proclaimed
Lying in bed, warm,
Sated, limbs entwined, lovers,
Together outside
Time’s demands for the moment,
Living inside the bubble.
Enclosed, enraptured,
By this elemental thing
Created inside
The hearts of us both, in love,
Meaning, for now, everything.
The words, honey on
Our lips, licked away, unsaid,
Fearing to bring doubt
All into the open for
Hurt often finds its mark.
Scars before, behind,
Spark instant hesitation
This present figment
A potent whisper, unheard,
“I am yours, and you are mine!”

Unsaid

Haiku is my garden. I find stones, roses, butterflies there, moss rarely grows. With vigilance, a seeker can come away with an altered state of mind.
Alex has been driving today, I spent over six hours on the phone with him. I am a little spent.
I needed a post, this is a post. I might be back or not.
I hope all of you have a gracious evening.
