Getting my head back into writing after the school holidays, so a quick first draft of a poem for this week's #PromptCombo #DreamLogic. Thanks @victoriaspires.bsky.social for hosting! #poem #poetry

In darkness

there is us
as I close my eyes
to see a future
that might have been

a house on the shore
waves lapping against
soft sand
warm ocean breath

there is life
love, laughter
children playing
around us

when my eyes open
sand has become walls
the horizon a small window
in a city I can’t escape

where are you now
what might have been

School holidays, so not had time to write anything for #PoemsAbout #BurnForTheCamera this week. Looking forward to reading contributions as I get a chance and - hopefully - back in service next week!

Such clarity Jane! Nothing is perfect, except, perhaps, this wee open about imperfection, love it! 👏👏
