She counted the bells a toll of false homecoming Sail on, maiden midnight voyager no stranger to rough seas She set course alone illumined prow gleaming And on her brow a crown of stars worthy of Eärendil #vss365 #FromOneLine 431 #poetsofbluesky #poetrysky #photography #ECK #WCK 💙📷 me

There used to be an island Where you could swim ashore A lush land with soft sand Now there's just a skerry Of barnacles and bone An island no more no more An island no more #vss365 #island #poetry

It started as a black smear and grew into a monster. A ghost ship needed no sail. It wasn't moved by wind or anything natural. What drove it most of all was greed and a desire for mayhem. Today, your #vss365 #prompt is #sail

There upon the glass A tiny boat with a tiny sail A single sailor parched and frail Out of their depth Directionless No wind at their tail #vss365 #sail #poetry

And so it began in the heart of a hurricane impatient love and hate beat down everything #vss365 #hurricane #writesky #poetsofbluesky #poetrysky #photography #photoart #EastCoastkin #ECK #WCK 💙📷 me (Full text in ALT)

Hurricane

Dust swirled between us
Between you and me
and the sticky seat
of a beat up lorry

Hot breeze
whipped my tattered slip
as we rambled on
past dry rivers of emotion
tension stretched out
time and pulse beat on

I stared out of the window
out of myself, and thought
Disappointment
could break a lesser heart

Resistance
drove me away from you
Simple proof
the wind steers on its own

And so it began
in the heart of a hurricane
Impatient love and hate
beat down everything

Shallow traces of reluctance
once found on your face
must have been grief

A moment of truth passed
between you and me
on the sticky seat
of a beat up old lorry.
°2026, Hurricane, Winter Ives.

Windows boarded No glass Hurricane wind with the rage of a god Wood creeks on empty streets Water knee deep It's not the bending trees or flying debris The destruction in the path It's the kindness and compassion in the rot of the aftermath #vss365 #hurricane #poetry

They harboured no hatred. Along the coast, they come excited to trade secrets and wishes. They wanted to show us what laid beyond the horizon so we allowed them passage into our world. The next #vss365 #prompt is #harbour.

They heard whispers. Of riches and fame. It pulled them in. They left behind the safe enclave of the earth to step toward the uncertain horizon. It convinced them they were safe, until it captured their attention and lives. On this day, the #vss365 #prompt is #lure.

Where had Dylan’s drive gone? His #hunger to get out there and simply fly? When had he become this lackey for a regime that cared only for rules and regulations? Time was, he wouldn’t have cared what anyone said. He and Marin would have been together. He’d be out there, in Magpie. Flying. #vss365
