Prompt 22:\u00a0 Choose an image and write a poem about it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Journey to the Light<\/p>\n
I am stuck in the darkness,<\/p>\n
But the light is in front of me, I can see it clearly now,<\/p>\n
Warm and golden inside the basalt cave,<\/p>\n
Beckoning me to come.<\/p>\n
The journey has been long and arduous,<\/p>\n
And I grow weak from the battle.<\/p>\n
I am starving for the light, and I\u2019m almost there.<\/p>\n
But the worst rocks block my path now,<\/p>\n
Hundreds of them, piled deep across the shoreline,<\/p>\n
Treacherous to walk across,<\/p>\n
Ready to twist and shift under my feet.<\/p>\n
But that is the only path to the light,<\/p>\n
So I must travel it.<\/p>\n
As I step with determination onto the first boulder,<\/p>\n
The light from the basalt cave illuminates<\/p>\n
A path across the rocks that could not be seen<\/p>\n
From the safety of the shore.<\/p>\n
Each step I take, each boulder I conquer,<\/p>\n
The light in front of me becomes brighter,<\/p>\n
The pathway becomes clearer.<\/p>\n
Moving more confidently now,<\/p>\n
I find the boulders are anchored in my mind.<\/p>\n
One final sprint across the rocks,<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m standing at the entrance to the cave.<\/p>\n
The light is so intense, it penetrates to the bone,<\/p>\n
Melting all the frozen places in an instant.<\/p>\n
Light becomes music. I am alive. I am whole.<\/p>\n
My mind and my body vibrate with the energy,<\/p>\n
Resonate with the frequency.<\/p>\n
432 Hz. Perfection in sound and light,<\/p>\n
The eternal balance for all things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
