“Cosmos” For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 654

6 Replies

Cosmos

My soul is restless, dark and lost.
Its flickering flame is tempest-tossed.
Ceaseless waves assault my ears,
their chanting pulse swelling my fears.

Slipping  into their restless grasp,
I void my terror in a gasp.
No fan of chance, I cast my lot
into that teeming marble pot

where those lost futures roil and toss,
whose progress is the potion’s loss.
Where is that world secure and calm
that cups one in a soothing balm?

Those caught in it feel its caress
unaware of that duress
that catches others in its swell––
one world encompassing Heaven and Hell.

 

For the latest Sunday Whirl, the prompt words are: waves slip void soul restless dark chanting flickering pulse chance marble fan.

“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
