Circle of Stones
Circle of Stones
Pale sun behind gossamer clouds Morning light fused in sleepy silver grey shrouding ancient stones in a cloak of mystery A pathway defining entry to a sacred site harboring history of centuries past Enticing, beckoning those who would surrender and dare to dance Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © In response to Sue Vincent's Weekly Write/Photo Word Prompt Surrender - RDP Promote Yourself Monday - Go Dog Go Cafe

Haiku
It always feels like
the darkest before the dawn
Yet the sun rises

Rising Sun – A Quadrille
Rising Sun – A Quadrille
As it finally breaks the dawn
stealing from the night
It wakens the sleeping birds
as it bathes the world in light
The sun’s great yellow orb
rising slowly in the big sky
flanked by cotton ball clouds
sitting way up there on high

The Other Side of Darkness
The Other Side of Darkness
She walked slowly
and deliberately
crossing the path of no one
Her hair like spun sugar
Almost caramelized
In the early morning sun
The day was beginning
making its glorious entrance
bringing lightness to her day
The remains of the previous night
Little more than bad memories
slowly slipping away
Darkness had consumed her
blackening her heart
Stealing her soul
Wretched and angry
She fought hard to escape
the tenebrous hole
Kissed by the solar energy
her thoughts now clear
She shook off the shroud
releasing the negativity
that was consuming her
Letting it drift up to the clouds

The sun sinks lower
In the late afternoon sky
Chased down by the moon

Moon pushes the sun
Into the new day coming
Their cycle begins

Dry as a Bone
Dry as a Bone
Sun bleaching bones
to a brilliant white
Carcass long gone
In 120 degrees Fahrenheit
Separated from his herd
Some time ago
Never seeing them again
He headed to the oxbow
The stream had dried up
Nothing left to drink
Wandering aimlessly
He had to think
Planetary conditions harsh
His skin burning
Heat games in his mind
became more disturbing
His hide was drying out
Hydration a faraway dream
Weakness in his legs
Now beyond extreme
He fell to the ground
Wishing the dizziness to stop
As he drew his last breath
He felt the first raindrop
