    Clearest sky on darkest night I let my mind and soul take flight Detaching from this mortal coil Among the shadows, walk the soil My body grounded, spirit free It’s just the night alone with me I revel in the evening mood I truly love this solitude To none I answer, only me When I’m…

    Connected by a force unseen Wonder what it all could mean In many forms and many ways Feelings with us all our days A first encounter, second glance Is it fate or is it chance? Watching life move down the street A taste of coffee, sugar sweet Is it really intertwined? Or just a product…

    Another day comes to an end Reflecting on what’s come and went Basking in the fading light Prepared to welcome deepest night It’s here that I feel most at home My thoughts are free and so they roam The dying light is so serene It shows me things I’ve never seen My mind is open,…

    Taking part in this week’s edition of Susan’s SLDS Challenge after missing the last few. This week’s prompt is: Evading Surveillance in a Crowded Market The first couple attempts were a bit rough, as it couldn’t quite pin down what I was looking for. A beanie and trenchcoat? In Kashmir at midday? Not unless heat…

    With perhaps a touch of the medieval thrown in here and there. Good morning, WP Land. Hope everyone is well on this Saturday. A quiet morning here. Just listening to some music and doing some writing. The wrist stiffened up a bit overnight, so I am trying to loosen that up as well. I had…

    A battlefield of broken dreams Where once we ruled and reigned supreme T’was not supposed to end this way Our destiny to win the day Betrayal left us unprepared Once brave men were running scared Tore into us like wild beasts A rabid hell they had unleashed Wretched bodies strewn about I hear another anguished…

    Good morning, all. Monday is back in all it’s soul-stealing glory. Personally, I am off today, so my soul is a bit luckier than some of you I guess. Today I have to start figuring out a new sleep schedule for my transition to nights later this week. Luckily, it’s my short week, so I…
