Poetry Project v 2.0, Days 24&25

Oh well, it finally happened - I missed a day. So, for any playing along at home, that means you get a two-fer today!!!!!

Yesterday -
dark, foreboding,
hopeless, despairing,
never chancing, never daring,
silent.
unfeeling, uncaring.

Today -
bright and shining,
full of options,
I can choose,
dancing, singing,
being.


And for today....

I remember the smell of the forest,
a pine bed long ago,
where a child sat alone
a song ever-writing
new at each moment.

How I long to be that child,
to sing that song,
and rest beneath the trees,
on the bed of fresh pine,
in the safety of that lonely forest.



Thanks for reading.
