Sun rising in the sky
on a wintery morning
Shedding its light upon the tree
Placing it perfectly center
for all there to see
A Christmas star
Sparkling, twinkling
and glowing bright
The crowning glory
to shine at night
A trick of nature
stirring the spirit
with seasonal wonderment
Leaving it’s magic to
beautifully complement

Sue Vincent’s Weekly Write/Photo - Light
Just a game to you
You played because you could
Your unfiltered words and actions
a green light to those who contained
their hatred
No thought or dedication
or ability to multitask
Let alone read
Communication skills nonexistent
Your statistics will be great indeed
Destined for the history books
Headlining
The Biggest loser of all time
You are the antithesis of a hero
Orange is the new black
and you will wear it well

Dark blue velvet sky
Stars pricking holes in fabric
Shining light on earth
Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing
A moon punctured sky
And stars sparkling through pinholes
Give us a light show

The brightest of stars
Can’t light the way to your heart
If the door is closed

Being a fairly new blogger some of you are slowly getting to know me through my poetry and things I care deeply about. Looking back through the work that I have yet to share with you, it is clear that my writing stems from experiencing some dark moments in my life. To me it was a therapeutic way to deal with life’s challenges. Although I have included some of these darker poems in my recent posts, I have certainly tried lately to lighten the mood with some sweeter sounding prose. I have been using the Daily Prompts from WordPress to ignite something inside me and send me on a creative path. I think it has been working, as I would never have thought to write anything entitled ‘Archaic’ but I did and I was quite pleased with the result!
As I am at a happy point in my life I have started to write some more enlightening poetry and hope you will enjoy it. My intention is to post at least one uplifting poem a week just so you know I’m not a totally miserable wreck of a person!
I still truly believe that there are many benefits to writing out your thoughts, good and bad, Whether you write in a journal or put your words into poetry it can have a healing effect. It has helped me my whole life and I’m not going to stop anytime soon.
Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy my writing.
Below is something lighthearted.
Love is Alive and Well
Yes it’s me I’m still here
You thought I had suffocated
As it happens I am alive and well
News of my demise has been grossly overrated
I am here once more
On display In all my splendor
Words of spoken passion and undying devotion
Always wondrous and tender
I am love and I conquer all
So they always say
I shoot a transfusion to your heart
So you know you’re alive for another day
Although I can be broken and stomped on
More times than you will ever know
I can also be buried deep down
And refuse to come out fearing another blow
My resilience is remarkable
Although I sometimes refuse to believe
That I can still be alive after so much pain
So for me you should surely grieve
At times I choose to hibernate
In my prepared burrow
It protects me and keeps me safe
When I fear of letting go
As Love I get to live another day
Being always brave and fearless
Laying it out there and you will point your arrows
And I will forever show you forgiveness
Christine Bolton
