We are really enjoying these prompts, Andrea!
The Seasons
She stares out from the kitchen
searching for words that only form
in the silences between here and there
little valleys of space while driving
cannot be captured
She sees mountains
laundry, toys, artwork, books
television singing away all the words
light like snowflakes on the tongue and quickly
melt away
Reverberating chaos swirls ’round
moves with her from room to room
until the noise becomes a deafening block
of nothing and time slows to a still
For only the opening of a sweet little brown
feminine hand reaches through and touches her lips
like the last slice of ripe mango
only this can break through the tornado of lost
thoughts, words, stories, and jumbled pieces of her.
The tiny voice inside, quiet again.
Listening to the tiny voice outside
smiling, always smiling at her mother
since the day she came home.
What a great poem – hi Jacqueline!
Here I let this beautiful poem stay and shine.
I have written to Jacqueline about our Brighter Light Challenge – this way of doing things is new to most of us.
I hope my friend Jacqueline will join us. No doubt she can form a wonderful team.
And again to Jacqueline – wonderful, wonderful poem of yours. Here I let it shine.
Oh…I see. I did not receive anything about Brighter Light except what you wrote here. I understand now after scrolling down and reading more. For some reason, I am not receiving your posts. I’m sorry for my unsolicited poem–but not. As always, you get me writing, and for that I am thankful. Wonderful prompt. I wish you all the best of luck in the challenge, and thank you for allowing me to get the words out here today.
