Walk
With me
On the beach
Twilight beckons
As the sun sets west
Taking the day with it
It is the time to seek peace
Find a space within our own hearts
That reaches out, comforts, and assures
Remains untrodden, like sand, at high tide

We’re a jumbled mess, caught up in a ball
And we can’t seem to sort it out, at all
Too many ends, and not enough starts
Often weigh heavily, upon our hearts
Each of us, an entangled, intricate thread
Needing to connect, sometimes misled
Split down the middle, tossed to the side
Losing a sense of ourselves, and our pride
Til, we finally realize, every each of our fiber
Contains threads, no one else can decipher

Why is it some families, become so disquisitive?
Sticking their noses, where they don’t belong
Turning relationships, into mortal toxic waste
Never thinking they’re the ones who are wrong

It’s the first challenge of February, and Colleen lets us pick our own words! Synonyms are not necessary but I used them anyway. Keeping with the love theme, this week, my words are Arouse and Glow. Although I’ve used then in a different context. 😉
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Awakened and Light.
Clouded skies part ways
When, at last, the morning breaks
And my sun shines high
Tis then I am awakened
By the glory of the light

Along the banks they stand, proudly, and wait
The misty morning, always, coveting their fate
Statuesque, majestic trees, one after the other
Try to shake the gloom, as limbs begin to shudder
From tiny particles, tis the rime, of winter’s bane
All they want is warmth, to ease the chilling pain
But alas, when day is over, and the sunlight strays
Evening settles in with more, of that melancholic haze
