Hour Two

How do we share yearnings when we cannot speak of them?

Yearnings

By Patricia Harris

Tongue tied,

Frustration cried.

No words to say a tired mind,

To speak the desire,

The dreams behind.

 

Reaching out,

Soul to soul,

Hoping that though the

Words will not come,

That still the desire will flow.

That somehow you will see

The desire within me.

Hour one

Prompt one 9 am Write a poem in which the four elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) play an important part.

Elements

By Patricia Harris

Earth to ground me,

All around me.

Solid,  comforting,

Affected by all I see,

The comfort of me.

 

Air to cool me,

Lift me up,

Release the stress

Carried away,

Just to deal with

Some other day.

 

Fire,

For passion,

Love,  lust,  and anger,

Burns away the darkness,

Setting the imagination

Blazing with so many ideas.

 

Water,

Churning emotional tides,

Soft soothing depths in which to hide.

Washing away all my sins,

Keeping me sure and clean within

As it all starts over again.

 

And lastly,  never least,

The element of spirit

Both divine and the one within,

A connection with the universe

Blessed and perverse,

Combining all elements

To a song and verse.

Hello all!

I am trying this, hopefully I do well with it. I am doing the full marathon, or at least going to attempt it. I am a poet and a author. Currently, I have ten volumes of poetry on amazon and three children’s books. I also write horror and other adult themed stories as Serena Mossgraves.
