We take for granted the things we can not see

The feelings we don’t know are there.

That moment of quick enlightenment of the love you never had but is now sitting right in front of you.

We grow comfortable, content, and, complacent in our daily routine.

Forgetting not all is owed to us.

Time is not guaranteed.

So look up at the sky

Smile at the people going by

Take time to see and feel the things around you.

Feel the grass between your toes

Smell the winds beneath your nose

Dance in circles laughing at your own silliness

Share your light

For you never know when it will be dulled.

The ache

By Kelly G.

She waits like a dewdrop for the effervescent ache of disappearing

Guarded by the gravity of all her losses.

Her feet sink deeper into the centre of the earth

making it difficult to clamber on.

Yet she rises

each day with a new hope of tomorrow.

Looking up each morning at the golden hues of the sunrise.

Red, yellow, and pink,

the colours luminating the sky above.

She turns towards the light

letting its eternal glow reach inside and warm her very soul.

Her ethereal beauty, unbeknownst to her

propagates as she floats throughout her day,

shining her light on all she passes.

Radiating positivity, and happiness

Infecting them with joy

Selflessly draining her battery

Until once again, she begins to feel

the ache

Crucifixion of the 20th century

By Kelly G

Warily I walk on this dry dusty land

gathered together, one man and his band

The stories left behind, a crime I am told

My people they follow some young and some old.

The crucifixion is coming, my bones ache where they bled

An omen flew by with a crow overhead

A revolt of the angels

A dead rose on the sand

One nail in my foot and one in my hand.

Thank you to @betweenthetimeandsound for the prompts!

Three versions of the same prompt.

The darkness of cold

Whispering winds have found me.

I am surrounded by warmth

The cold dark winds

Whispering around the windows

My bed is calling me

The cool breeze lingers

Drifting along the shadows of my skin

Where your lips once were.

Empty Shell

They say when you pass on there’s nothing left behind

Except an empty shell with your spirit flying high

But each person that you meet gets a little piece of your soul

No matter how long you’ve known them and no matter how far you go

Each day that passes by; the time upon this earth

You give a little love and cherish peoples worth.

And when your time has come, to float off in to the abyss.

The story of your kindness is left, each memory and each kiss.

really really really not sure how to feel about this one but hey ho .also its called the power of the sea

Be like water

On the surface this means to adapt to your surroundings

But if you dive down into the murky depths you will find this cannot be further from the truth 

Be like water

Become immensely powerful when directed

Be beautiful when calm

And terrifying when angry

Learn to control your mind body and soul

And learn that you are necessary to life

There is always someone out there who needs you

Something out there that you need to complete

And a problem out there you need to solve

The most powerful attribute of man is not maturity 

Or being smart or strong 

Its realizing your own self worth

That is the key to the  power of the sea
