∴ on scattered rose-covered paths i wander|
towards each new inviting portal, i tread
though storms and tears may wash them away |
new petals will fall, and new paths i’ll roam again ∴

∴ wrapped in her cloak of nocturne
she exudes obsidian and alabaster hues
guiding the night, commanding the moon
with daybreak, she diminishes into shadow ∴¹

1. Tied for 2nd Place in Writers Around the World’s “Prompt Challenge” on March 23, 2024. Most of what you will find on my pages is just written for creative fun, so I am not in the habit of submitting. However, I am grateful and excited to have been chosen among so many great writers! ↩︎

∴ mountain ascent, this grueling endeavor
trail winds cut through, going on forever
beneath scorching sun, rugged holds i climb
at the summit, i balter, lost in the sublime ∴

∴ in icy realms, where dawn is a frosty web
dysania charms me and beckons from my bed
yet, within this tangle, resilience takes its stand
facing the day, warmed by soul’s command ∴

∴
the singularity may finally breach,
beyond comprehension, all knowledge will reach
·
non-singular minds, no longer tethered to the known,
in realms of understanding, may they find their own
∴

∴

in the stillness beneath tranquil skies, a state to contemplate

where shadows of the void and waking minds conflate

whispering voices weave new tales, gently nudging fate

i stepped outside my door, embraced by spacetime’s spate

∴
