beyond the breath of time that pulls us toward #death's hush & punishes with #hindsight’s weight our course stays drawn to the same source: not the stars not the far-off meteors but a light deep within that wakes the mind & nests in simple words revealing what was always there #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay

- the fall from Grace was more than a body could endure more than a throne disintegrating into splinters beneath the stoic stars of god dreams shattered fractured into furious shards that bounced briefly, then vanished drowned beneath the weight of unshed tears. - #vss365 #poetry #skypoetry

I return to my waterfall chambers, The one which grows yet falls… It’s been a year, Everything’s frozen over…almost… Icicles take the form of flowers, Do they also reproduce or simply, Replicate? I wish I didn’t need to return, I need to get rid of the rain… ©️Camellia #poetry

The tree does not end at its skin but exists also in the rain that falls downwind, many miles from the forest. In the seed exists the acorn, the oak, and the shade. Stephen Harrod Buhner, Sacred Plant Medicine: The Wisdom in Native American Herbalism Books can help heal! #herbs #weyekin #nature

Happy Monday! Today, I’m no longer thinking about all the disasters and ugliness of this world. I’ve decided to open my eyes to the infinite beauty that surrounds us. Wishing everyone a beautiful week, as light as a snowflake!

#vss365 #prompt #guess It’s odd how we thrive in uncertainty. Life is a series of choices, right or left, and we but passengers along for the ride. That, while scary, is also invigorating. We live wild and alive, not knowing what is ahead The word prompt for today is guess.

#vss365 #poem #poetry #souvenir
I scan the verdant path for a souvenir 
A bluebell to press between pages
Or a stone, worn smooth from wind’s ageless thrum, to set upon my sill

But in the still of this half lit gloaming,
The keepsake is not nature’s ornaments, nor the earth itself

It is billowing breaths, drifting on time’s endless sigh,
And footprints brushed on dust, wandering onward 

                                      -Bethany Samaddar

Memory 

In the palm of dawn,
they bloom. The roses you've planted
in all of your gardens, in all of the souls you've touched.
Nothing in this life, ever,
goes unnoticed.
Not even the tiniest bud.
Not even a fallen leaf.
Somewhere—on the edge of the world—
a lily-of-the-valley raises her head, reaching 
her snow-white lips
to kiss the sky, her lover.
And he who created both
sighs like the only one that knows
the heart of a flower born
to bloom for a day and then be plucked
by a careless hand.

— Ellen Krupich

in the clouds crystals grow stellar sifting soft and slow settling snow the gentle hush faces flush a pinkish glow it's at this moment I know the purity of love below and above and standing before me with eyes that adore me a world bathed in white reflecting your light #vss365

there is a life in my mind how your skin glows in my inner light there are rotations and revolutions time passes in the manner I allow in those slow moments are the things I want to happen I turn them into memories this model of happiness and overfit due to a lack of data #vss365 #poetry

Across the #threshold & carved stone steps led down to a heavily barred iron gate. Inside, once golden walls scarred with the age-old rust of overused chains, radiated pain & despair. Damp & decay mingled with the putrid stench of the dead, their tortured souls, denied redemption, lingered. #vss365
