Day 13 of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge.
whispering soft on fragrant swells,
a story only you can tell
amidst the chaos don’t ask why
but rise above, to the heights fly where condors dwell
though some may try to hold you here
don’t listen to their hopeless fear;
the universe has other plans
a shift in time, the fates be damned,
makes all things clear
yield to the metamorphosis
existence grounded, sands to sift;
flee the chrysalis’ slumb’ring keep
lasso the whirlwind’s swirling sweep to find your bliss

Getting a wee bit more snow this morning. Enough to be pretty. ❤️
cool stillness
a symphony of
icy blue
whispers,
misty spray,
snowflakes
on my tongue
