Eternal Romance

#Moon in Front of Clouds

The sun blows the moon
A kiss which illuminates
The beloved face
Cheering the depths of darkness
Reviving the souls of night.

Short Musings

Conversation is
A lifeboat holding us safe
When storms run rampant.

It is not who we
Are, it is what we can share
That is meaningful.

Some things are so hard to explain, but the explanation means the whole world.

I have hundreds of little musings like this I have written on Social Media. I once tried to copy all the ones on Twitter, tired me out. I just make up stuff. I think a lot. Mostly I try to do haiku and tanka, but sometimes I just feel things. I wonder why I spend time on futility.

I have mentioned here before that those two forms are great warm-ups. You might try some when you are having a difficult time creating. A prompt if you need one.

I am thankful:

1. For unexpected gifts.
2. For education.
3. For pets.

4. For the ability to entertain myself.

5. For music.

I sincerely believe that gratitude gives a huge appreciation for what inhabits our lives and opens our boundaries for receiving more blessings. It has been my practice for a long time to write lists of those things for which I am thankful. I recommend you include it in your life.

This may be my only post today. I have some plans which I hope come to fruition. I am having challenges that are daunting. I sincerely hope they work out soon.

Whatever you do, chase joy. It will bless you with more happiness than you expect.

Ever On.

I always want images and color with my words, so I am experimenting with it a bit again. I, after all, once published a magazine.

2020.05.07 Limitless Abundance

If you have not done it yet, create something today. Life is too short for leaving your vision trapped within your brainpan. You are creative, believe in you, and make do.

Appointed

When you hold it in
The palms of outstretched hands
Remember how you
Thought LOVE, a most precious gift,
When first you recognized need
To welcome it here
Making the giver a part
Of your becoming
Owner of fond dreams, all things,
Grand offers life dispenses.
Never let it go –
Fade to the burned-out darkness;
Treasure the light LOVE
Shines even as days fly by,
For LOVE lifts us, undying.

Explanation

Listening to music,
pondering life,
wondering about LOVE,
what it means,
what it does not.
Coming in on the side
of the angels with
belief LOVE is the meaning
of all and everything.
Of course, you should
know already, I believe
that bit of TRUTH.
Life can change in
a moment, the touch
of a hand, can reset
the best-laid plans.

The explanation was a paragraph, and like everything lately, it morphed.
