“Casting Stones at Sunset” For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 653

Casting Stones at Sunset

Please accept this shiny pebble that is laden with the ghost
of each hand that selected it to cast against a post.
Gasping as the forest shadows gathered ’round the flight
of birds that scattered––vanishing into the shattered light.

When fluttering wings return at last, the blistered day can rest
as each winged creature returns now to its nest.
Mingled in the treetops, they sing the end of day,
then put away their voices until the sun’s first ray.

 

For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 653 the prompt words are: pebble shiny laden ghost mingled blisters gasping vanishing  scatter forest shadows

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
