mastoprompt

A piece of poem wrenches free writhing itself in an escape from

me

for #mastoprompt

Not helpless, but hindered

Weathered, but not worn

Weary, but wonderous

Not forgotten; born

for #mastoprompt

Knick knacks knock about, knowing their number is nearly up

for #mastoprompt

Years later:

all it took was a glimpse of the edge of a sky-blue envelope barely opened on the counter, with scribbled words on the outside and playful artwork in the margins, like a page ripped out of Mad Magazine -

your presence still resonates

for #mastoprompt

Shadow baton from an invisible conductor gets raised with love and grace, as the first movement of sunrise begins:

Birdsong, in a minor key

for #mastoprompt

What sounds like a furious swarm is pollination, born from the energy of an active hive of honey bees

for #mastoprompt

On this, you ask, where is the ink?

I think I'd prefer to remain as silent as the poem on the page,

a slow gasp of a laugh, lingering

for #mastoprompt

Shadows dancing in firelight flickers

arms and fingers extended

A parley into the night's slow glow embers

and then, like that, the moment's ended

for #mastoprompt

Soft white floating dandelion puffs take to the wind

angelic seeds of wildflowers, rooted again

for #mastoprompt

A decision at its zenith is the cruz of the matter at hand
