I watch the sun set, o’er the mountains
A breathtaking sight, for my eyes, to see
Colors of orange, red, yellow, like a fountain
Decorating twilight, with a glorious apogee

Perhaps the night
Brings darkness
To cover up
The tears
Ones shed
By the clouds
Though
Never obvious
I ponder about
Where exactly
They’ve come from
Who is shedding them
And why
Are there angels
Mourning the loss
Of a loved one
Bearing the sorrow
Unburdening us
Our hearts
A cleansing
For the soul
Now in eternal rest
Or
Is it something
Beyond the simplicity

Colleen’s challenge for us this week are the words Begin and Fresh. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Reverse Nonet, my synonyms are Create and Anew.
With
My words
I create
Feelings anew
Parts of my own soul
Entirely exposed
To unknown human beings
Who somehow find my poetry
Mirrored images of their own lives

I found myself, alone, floating across the sea
In a tiny boat, I wondered what happened to me
The water, crystal clear, sparkled, like sunlit glass
Fish swam below me, schools of them, en masse
I couldn’t see anything, no matter where I looked
Suddenly, the calm receded, then the water shook
Up, from out of the ocean, a distant island appeared
At least I think it was, my eyesight, not quite clear
Palm trees swayed, in the breeze, atop a sandy shore
I shaded sun from my eyes, why couldn’t I see more?
Alas, I realized, this place, was all that had remained
Of Earth, of me and my boat, the rest is unexplained
January Writing Prompt – A distant shore was all that remained – Day 8/31

Through high piles of snow, we lumber along
As drifts vie to stop us, our gathering throng
So, we become immature, trying to smother
Everyone, by throwing snowballs at each other
Word of the Day – Immature
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Lumber
