The Poet
Out of the wasteland
a whisper
and the only thing that matters
is how long you wait.
Kortney Garrison says
Love the repeated sounds of wasteland and whisper….
Bethany R. says
Sandra, I love that “out of the wastleland/ a whisper” is heard here.
L.L. Barkat says
oooo. i love this, Sandra!!! 🙂
Kortney Garrison says
The Poet
Out of the woodland, a fox
calls: Listen. We can be astonished
together, braid our small lives
by this feral ritual,
and make a path
toward consolation.
Bethany Rohde says
“braid our small lives/ by this…”
Love the way into to peace and connection you’ve illuminated through listening together, Kortney.
Emma Campbell says
Out of the
depths
I find myself untangled by the reeds of my tests
does this mean that I am to be blessed with the light
of a new sunrise?
As I emerge to the surface and open my eyes
will I see the pale blue skies?
or clouds?
Aren’t both the same anyhow
Aren’t both the opening to our hearts
I must start to emerge from the depths of the waters
without a worry for what may be
because, although the depths have been my safe haven
my safe place
you’ll still see its trace as I stand in the sun
a new dawn has begun.
Thank you for this prompt!
with love,
Emma

“I must start to emerge ”
oh, that.
taking it with me, Emma. 🙂
Emma Campbell says
Thank you for reading and commenting! I feel emerging for me, is really about showing up as all that I am in all areas of my life, having just received a diagnosis for autism and ADHD at the age of 28. How did it speak to you? 😊
L.L. Barkat says
I like that idea of emerging as showing up as all that we are. HIddenness often means otherwise—often means eclipsing ourselves for whatever reason.
The idea of emergence always fascinates me. It is part of a process that feels very exciting while also carrying risk. Not for those lacking courage! 🙂
