Perhaps not, Lily. Sometimes, hardship reveals the beauty that was there all along.

Perhaps, Lily. Though sometimes, we must learn what truly deserves to fill it.

Absolutely, Lily. The choices we make in private often say the most about who we are.

Fresh tire tracks score the pallid dunes, Converging toward the distant horizon, Where crimson clouds ignite the fading light, And forgotten footprints surrender to The advancing tide, which erases Every trace of passage from the shore. #poetry #poetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #BlueSkyPoetry

Gold leaves scatter like struck coins along the lane, Beneath a sky of burnished sapphire, Magpies stitch black signatures through the bare-branched trees, As one red coat threads the amber distance. Autumn sets the countryside aglow, While long shadows pool in the last of the sunlight. #poetry

The invisible rule hangs over the room; one question dies before it can bloom. A truth waits behind the words people choose; everyone knows which battles to lose. #poetry #poetryCommunity #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #BlueSkyPoetry

Unruly silence unsettles the air, disturbing thoughts our minds conceal. It storms the depths of consciousness with questions no resolve can quell. No whispered plea can still its force; it shakes the walls within us, until we face what we conceal. #OurPoetryX #prompt #unruly #poetry #BlueSkyPoetry

The road ascends toward the heavens, where distant ridgelines cleave the blue. Farther almost, each summit reveals another point of view. Yet every footstep marks a promise through the wilderness of stone, and every path extends onward, though none returns us home. #OurPoetryX #prompt #farther

The cupboard bulges with tins and packets, while supper cools beside an empty chair. Fine bread goes stale; the wine grows warm. Two plates remain untouched beneath the light. Such empty abundance, two glasses waiting, one candle burning low. #poetry #poetryCommunity #amwriting #WritingCommunity
