Beacon
Shines through
The stormy sea’s rage
A light in the dark, salvation
Refuge

A path
Of leaves and stones
Made for quiet moments
Serenely, with the lake’s beauty
Reflects

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only! Her two words are Empty and Space. Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge. Have fun!
Written as a Cinquain, my synonyms are Desolate and Expanse.
Defiled
This vast expanse
So desolate, barren
Lays in waste, Mother Earth cries
Abuse

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. On your own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you, then create a pingback to the original post.. More info can be found in the link below.
Spirit
Remains faceless
In a world so Godless
Praying for man’s absolution
Shattered

This Cinquain is inspired by a photo prompt from Susi at I Write Her. I also wrote a Haiku for it, for Susi’s challenge, but actually wrote this piece first before it dawned on me that I wasn’t writing a Haiku, (which is Susi’s challenge!) LOL A big thank you to Susi for the double inspiration!! ❤
A wave
Taking over
Churning with the ocean
Swallowing the sunlit landscape
Imbibes
