BREATHING ASHES

I think I can safely say, at least here in America, that society is triggered.  And it’s having a hard time finding its way back to a place where rational balance lives.  And who can blame us… we have a LOT to be triggered about. Anarchy Steps heavy with Steel toed boots Torches replace Keystrokes…

MINE TERRORIST

I had a conversation with a terrorist. I was appalled by her beliefs. Angry at the intensity of her hate. I couldn’t understand why such a monster lived inside me. It’s hard to love yourself because you know all the things nobody else knows. You see all the parts nobody else sees. You feel things…

SORRY, MAN

Much like my anonymous guest yesterday, my guest today still has very strong feelings about the bullies from his youth.  Matthew Krause is very honest in this post and I think maybe he doesn’t realize the STRENGTH and POWER that he wields by choosing peace over violence.

BEACHFRONT SUNSETS

Written by Holley Perry and HastyWords Tides quietly wash away all evidence of daylight as we sat together mourning the sunset’s temporary demise. Distance is a reminder . . . the sand on our wooden floor the wrong names carved on trees the night doesn’t hide all secrets. Ghosts of old chased us into our…

RAINBOW THREADS

JUST ONE SOFT KISS

Written by HastyHusband and HastyWords Ο I’m gently floating Wings spread in the sky Colored beams of light Sparkling from the sun Beauty catching my eye   Pensively hovering Gravity draws low Performing my duty Perspective changes Tunnel vision grows    Wistfully settling Feet on the ground I’m being transformed Life destined, no control Landing…

LIFE CHANGING GIFTS

Daily Prompt: By the Skin of Your Teeth “There are seconds, they come only five or six at a time, and you suddenly feel the presence of eternal harmony, fully achieved. It is nothing earthly; not that it’s heavenly, but man cannot endure it in his earthly state. One must change physically or die. The…
