Fatigue

Lines written for #FromOneLine 304

Blurred vivid colors – an image by Bing Image Generator

Just like yesterday
Today ends with fatigue.
For hustle has consumed
The last remnants of rest
And what it once meant
To pause and reflect!

Hubris

Lines written for #FromOneLine 302

Trees – an image generated by Bing Image Generator

Trees whispered a secret
Wrapped in a gentle breeze
Or in a stormy embrace
We chose not to listen
In hubris, so human
Forgetting who heals
With roots running deep;
Keepers of our land,
These storytellers stand
Now in silent despair
Of words lost forever.

Practice the pause

Lines written for #FromOneLine 300

A tranquil image of nature – generated by Bing Image Generator

Once upon a time
Wisdom whispered to me,
“Trust the process,
Practice the pause;
Do not brood over
What’s beyond control!”
So I embraced silence
But grief and fear
Gathered in my throat –
A heavy knot that choked
All remnants of hope.
Then, unable to breathe
Immensely fatigued
I set them all free –
Dreams, desires, wishes.
Maybe now it will find me –
My happily ever after.

Goodbye

Lines written for #FromOneLine 301

A psychedelic style image reflecting a kiss, made by Bing Image Generator

We kissed one last time
For words coated our lips
We didn’t know how
To speak them aloud
So, we embraced silence
In moments of goodbye.

Doomsday

Lines written for #FromOneLine 299

Earth on Doomsday – Image from Bing Image Generator

Earth stopped its spin
For chances were slim
That the dust would heal
The skies could conceal
Such wide devastation
Destructive intervention
Of the ones who ruled
As masters of doom.
In destined departure
From a promised Rapture
The oceans spilled over
And mountains cowered
When a blue planet swore
It could bear no more!
