Everything in Everyone
Wild haunted rhythms sail the night as we lie supine,
thinking thoughts unbidden that are far from the divine.
All Hallows is that time of year that causes us to ponder
all those fearful yearnings that we conceal and launder
as we get through the daylight world, hiding our duress
of all those hidden thoughts and dreams we labor to suppress.
Everything in all of us, to honor or accuse.
And it’s up to each of us what we will pick to use.
Prompt words for today are: divine, ponder, duress, sails, haunted, wild rhythm.

I had posted a link to Cee’s Flower of the Day instead of to RDP. I also hadn’t linked to OctPoWriMo, so thanks. Strange that they don’t establish links but just print out the link address for you to copy and paste. I really appreciate your pointing out that I wasn’t linked.

Well said, my hammock gets a workout on these cooler mornings during this political season. Especially liked the use of that word “launderas”, maybe you did it on purpose with a double entendre just to get my mind off the subject~!

Your poem makes me think of Steinbeck’s East of Eden and timshel or thou mayest. We can choose the good or the evil. You just wrote it in a much more beautiful way.

The explanation of timshel gets right to the point. I had to look it up, I’ll admit, and read some fascinating discussions which boil down to free will, but the term “timshel” expresses it so much more eloquently. Thanks for your comment.
