Sit at the loom
and weave
a #blanketoftears
for a loved one
who grows cold
and no fire
will ever make
them warm again.

Prompt for 14 October

-Blanket of tears-
Sometimes there is sorrow, and comfort expressing it fully and openly through a blanket of tears. In the end, it may not mean anything, but as a phrase it suggests many things.

Seas of sorrow, from
Wailing, grieving squalls, to a
Still, blanket of tears.

#drain the sky
of #nefarious clouds
a #jocular wind
wakes the sun

#bathe in quiet
soft light hums
blanket of tears
turns warm again

Enjoy this
#bountiful harvest
Gather friends and family
food on the table
stories, games and music
It's time to savor
the fruits of a year
blessed with abundance
at least for this season.

#tampered note
in my hands, with
a truth #bountiful
i rest by the #oak

#undertone of
something unreal
the #ballad in my
heart never ends

how can i grow?
under this
#inadequate, cruel
shade

for i am three people
one walking,
one seen from above,
one already leaving.

-Bountiful-
Generous or abundant, often used with a harvest. We’re hard-wired to want more, but with bountiful returns we learn the beauty of sharing. Hopefully.

Once so bountiful,
A place of abundance, life
Flourished without us.

Message on the outside
inscribed in a downward spiral
#ink-wrapped in red ochre
is it a warning
meant for the receiver
of this gift in white paper?
Will you risk it
undo the knots in twine
and see what lies
inside?

Shrink wrapped, more like ink
Wrapped, leaking pen results in
Colourful chaos.

The #night falls fast
By the light of the moon
the #hunter moves silently
prey knows its enemy
but cannot overcome
a determined stalker
who has time to spare
and the skill to deal death.

#clamor outside,
quiet within.
#raincoat tight.
she walks on.

#knee aches,
will holds firm.
She #unearths strength.
she walks on.

night hunters fades,
#giddiness blooms.
the storm ends.
she walks on.

-Night hunter-
We celebrate the stillness of the night, yet it teems with life and activity. From owls to cats, wolves, and coyotes, night hunters abound! But beware those that change shape freely…

Eyes of a raptor
See all, the night hunter stalks
Prey from high above.

The #whisperingleaves
tell secrets
as they spiral down
one second to the next
gentle currents
carry them ever so
delicately
until they reach
the ground
where the earth
reclaims them.

-Whispering leaves-
Autumn is full of whispering leaves clinging to the branches as they wither, change color, and fall. Dry leaves on the ground dance in every breeze & under every foot passing.

Trees can scream, it's in
The whispering leaves, clenched roots,
Clawing at the sky.

Be wary
of #clingingshadows
Be sure
to count how many
you cast when
you step into the light.
Make certain
that somehow
you haven't picked up
a hitchhiker.

In the clinging shadows where the eldred spirits play,
Draped all in black and singing in their eldred spirit way,
The hedges fill with witches set to watch the dark parade
That exits each October from where Halloween is made...

-Clinging shadows-
Some days the night won’t go, the darkness won’t dissipate. Clinging shadows shift and hide, deepening the mystery of the world.

you left me,
no clear escape
for now, I’m a
#mess of thoughts.

clinging shadows stay,
#defiance in air,
and the #cat watches
with eyes like moons.

writhing vices stir,
#respite drips down.
peace arrives
only for you.

#curdle milk
#gloom in the room
midnight howls
outside my window
break the quiet

#bark of a tree
lands soft
#ash on the ground
#candid stars
i watch alone

shadows stay
wind touches
a broken heart
all is still
yet all is gone
