Hour 10
The bull grazing on the grassy knoll
Enjoying the minutes of the day
Looking beyond its immediate location
Wondering what may come from walking to the other side
Hour 10 – What is Grammy Love?
Every move you make
Every dance you shake
Every smile you give
Every day you live
I’ll be loving you
Every time you cry
When life goes awry
Every stint you’re mean
Whether dirty or clean
I’ll be loving you
Every time
Every day
Every season
Every life
Every being
I’ll be loving you
I’ll be loving you
Inspired by Sting’s “I’ll Be Watching You”.
A Question and A Thought
How are we to
understand the workings of
the world when we cannot
comprehend how we
operate in the spaces
where humans talk to each other?
This life this journey
through time is full of
many unexpected unsettling
happenings that jolt us
from the humdrum to
the mere moment of being.
Hour Ten—Fairy Tale Love
What love is
not Cinderella and the glass slipper
rather it’s slipping on the glass and given a hand to stand up;
What love is
not Sleeping Beauty awakened by a kiss after a hundred years of sleep
rather it’s being brought breakfast after sleeping in on a Sunday morning;
What love is
not Belle dancing at the ball with an atrocious but kind Beast
rather it’s the permission to miss the ball and cuddle with that atrocious but kind beast;
What love is
not being awakened with a kiss after biting into a poisoned apple
rather it’s being loved enough to have someone give the Heimlich to cough up
the apple that chokes you;
love is living the real life
with all of the falls, sleeping in, staying in and rescues from the apple chunks
that’s the whole story of love.
What is Love?
What is Love? You may ask.
To me it’s living without a mask.
Love is not sex or romance as society may say.
It’s lifetime commitment, come what may.
Respect, honesty, loyalty, communication, all parts of love.
To forgive and forgive again like from above.
Love is life, it holds families together.
It’s what you take with you into the forever.
Hour 9 -Dont Tell
Prompt 5 words
Hiding in my fall jacket
Taking that self care mom moment
Sitting in my carport before I go inside
Before the cars lightbulb gives my secret away
Drinking from my Starbucks Bucket
Wrapped in cinnamon warmth
Moms Secret Time
Mmmmmm Pumpkin Spice Season
Hour Ten: What is Love?
What is Love?
Nib. Nibs.
If you know, you know.
(I needed a break. My butt hurts and I want to finish strong in the half marathon. See, I can’t do the full marathon anymore. Hee. Hee.)
Hour 10 – The Throne
The Throne
It is in the throne room my greatest ideas come to me,
A place clean and glistening,
sterile by effort and design.
There is a beautiful waterfall that comes from a glistening chrome mountaintop
And a shallow pond in which to wade.
Though many balk at such a kingdom
And view it as a horrid place,
After my morning coffee I can disappear within for hours
It is from this place I write this now, eager for a win
Once I’m done with dinner, I’ll return here once again.
M.M.I.W
M.M.I.W
(Murdered, missing indigenous women)
Many mothers
Missing the lives of their
Infant children growing up,
Weeping families demanding justice.
