Looking through the window every morning The sky, big and blue would call to me It’s clarity and open expanse, a welcoming sight each day Up there I would send my dreams to be carried on the wind My deepest, secret wishes hidden from spying eyes Cloud cover keeping them for me in secrecy Rain-filled cumulus would promise to send the curious running instead of staring up in wonder at the magnificence The noise of thunder, always my friend, scaring others away that I might dream alone of flying high above everything Away, away, away from the sadness here below Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Linda Lee Lyberg is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight. D'Verse is celebrating its 11 year anniversary. Linda has given us some quotes from her favorite movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's based on the novel by Truman Capote. She has asked us to write a poem of 11 lines using one of the quotes as inspitration. I chose this one below, except I took another direction: "It’s better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes.” ― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Three Stories Image by Dimitris Vetsikas from Pixabay

Butterfly fluttering Impossible to hear the delicate beauty of the moment But senses are touched by the gentleness of the vision The imagination captured and carried away on those wings Scattered thoughts up in the air bouncing from one flower to another Stopping but for a moment before moving on How freeing to not linger! No time given to dwell on tasks that bind us to reality Released from duties and obligations weighing heavily Oh please, just for one day, let me be a butterfly Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Sanaa from A Dash Of Sunny is hosting Open Link Night, Live Edition at D'Verse Poets
Wishes that would awaken a silent heart Buoyancy of hopes and dreams once safely tethered are now washed away in your wake Left vulnerable and unsafe Treading water in the changing climate of choppy seas once hot with passion Now chillingly cold as I am left searching once more for an emotional life raft Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Prompts Awaken - RDP Climate - FOWC
