In the sea where the giants do play,
#Mountainous waves dance and sway,
With crests high and proud,
They roar fierce and loud,
As they crash and then melt into spray.

Feb 17 #prompt word
Approaching his #mountainous childhood home, the soldier reined in. Seven years ago he'd left with his four best friends, aiming for glory in the southern wars. Now he rode alone.
In the distance, a woman called to her child. He turned back south.

In a forest where moonlight did gleam,
She #enchanted him, lost in a dream.
With a whisper so sweet,
His heart skipped a beat,
Love's magic fulfilled every theme.

She sat, #enchanted by wildflowers. Soft floral scents, blossoms nodding gently as if agreeing with her every thought... three bunnies in little morning suits and top hats...
-Would you like to attend a bunny wedding?
She jumped to her feet. -Yes, please!

In a world that can sometimes feel cruel,
Lived a speck that was charmingly #miniscule,
Though tiny in size,
It held wisdom and eyes,
A big heart made it shine like a jewel!

He encloses my hand in his, warmth radiating from his body to mine. It is the last time we will touch each other for five days, although we will still be side by side. I am suddenly shy as we pull on our pressure suits.

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 13 is #lacuna
“lagoon? No, lacuna . . . different from lagoon. Not a cave exactly but an opening, like a mouth, that swallows things. He opened his mouth to show. It goes into the belly of the world.”
Barbara Kingsolver

Definition: Lacuna - Unfilled space, gap

How much you lie to yourself
Everyday
The dull #ache of guilt will never
Go Away
Then you die one day
Silently
The truth will come out
Violently
Your blood line gets stained
With truth
The evil done can never be
Washed Away

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 10 is #ache
"I wish to run my trembling fingers long
Through the black tangles of your heavy hair,
To plunge my aching head amorous of
Your skirts as into secret, perfumed bowers,
To breathe your scent as from pale withered flowers"
'Le Léthé', Charles Baudelaire

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 9 is #bones
"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."
T. S. Eliot
