SenseWrds 274. Small embers flutter up from the smouldering logs. "Fire fairies!" you shout ecstatically. The dog galumphs into the fire's aura, barks once, then is off again, exploring the wondrous scents of the glade. Your joy illuminates the night, and I have never been happier.

Poem: The truth in the shadows
…
He stepped into the hall
moving swiftly to the podium
with strong confident movements.

The lights dimmed momentarily
a burst of sound and light
settling into a radiant glowing aura
framing podium and speaker.

He did not know, he could not see
the truth in the shadows waiting with me
.…
in front of a light grey background.

Poem: empty nest
Early morning light,
golden highlights on cloud
breaking up and scattering.
The jet's contrails connects wisps,
the needle of an invisible hand
swiftly patterning the sky.
She bore them, we raised them,
now, as their time has come
ours fade into new beginnings.

#sensewrds 272 patterned, reminiscent, field These weren't random. And yet, almost immediately, she'd forgotten them, utterly. Sometimes a memory would fly at her, out of the air, and she'd catch it with one hand, bringing the ball close to her face. She only has two hands, for too many balls.
