Maybe tomorrow fortune will be kind We often dream of what might be Hoping burdens will find their demise Tomorrow, a new day Will fulfill long held dreams and the rain will stop Your quiet strength that lies within Will rise again giving a brighter path, a clearer visibility #writingcommunity

Vanquish the myth A false tale of sin Involving an ancient apple What nonsense! Only spineless sycophants Ring-kissing miscreants Accept the abuse And subjugation of women #vss365 #inkMine #OurPoetryX #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets #PaintbyWords #EastCoastKin #poetrysky #writesky #ECK 🎨Magritte
Renee Magritte
The Son of Man, 1964
Oil on Canvas 
Private Collection 

Magritte painted it as a self-portrait.

The painting is of Magritte in an overcoat and a bowler hat standing in front of a low wall, beyond which are the sea and a cloudy sky. 

Magritte’s face is almost obscured by a green apple. However, his eyes can be seen peeking over the edge of the apple.

Sometimes we need to listen to the pauses, the silences of life, and the intervals between one season to the next, only to realize we have taken more purposeful steps than we thought possible. #MyTake #RandomThoughts #Steps

Feels like yesterday I was a teenager, aching to be prettier, smears of lipstick replacing self-esteem now I don't care. Now I ache to stay spry, keep linear— life's difficult. I crave my Maya Angelou phase— making people quake with the wisdom smeared thick over my soul like lipstick. #inkmine

A subtle sign no matter what the cost A silent knowing of paths unknown Find their meaning at a frantic pace We ignore our twin in our soul We listen close, when silence starts to speak The world demands we strive with our burning light To conquer the tremble, no matter the price #writingcommunity
