Take down from the attic, the strings of lights
Connect them together, to create a soft glow
Bask in the warmth, by the fireplace, tonight
While outside, the ground, is covered in snow

Colleen was kind enough to give us the words for this weeks challenge, even though she started her Yule break! Thank you, Colleen ❤ The words this week are Try and Life. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as a Nonet, my synonyms are Essence and Endeavor.
My essence is truly energy
An endeavor repeatedly
Fought for, an attempt to shine
In the darkest of times
Through my poetry
When only thoughts
Of the night
Consume
Me

Light, cast on the wooden bridge
Uneasy feelings, about to deprive
She, was in a hurry to cross over
He, merely wanted to stay alive
She called to him, to join her
He turned away, afraid to face
The destiny that surely awaited
That put them, there, in that place
She waited for him to answer
Only guttural sounds, from his voice
Hoping he’d turn back toward her
Knowing he had no other choice
The door to death, in front of them
The spirits came to collect, but who?
Lights swirled, merrily, only around him
The Fates come…
…and there’s nothing you can do.
December Writing Prompt – Destiny awaited, they had no other choice – Day 11/31

Oh, the special moments, when those we love are near!
Ringing in the holidays, and spreading love and cheer
It’s magic in the making, under twinkling strands of lights
The gift of family, gathered close, makes everything so right!

The sun continued setting, over the vast plains
As its colors, in rippling hues, softened the sky
A lonely tree, barren, from winter’s approach
Stood watching, while a bird perched, on high
And she began to sing to me, as if on cue
A melancholy tune, a sweet song of lament
Almost like she knew what would happen next
The sun would disappear, as day was now spent
Bathed with hues, of such subtle purple haze
I could see the mountains reach up, in the light
I bowed my head, still watching the colors fade
Blessed, once again, to bear witness to the night
