Flashback Friday Poetry: Friendship and Romance Part 3

Terra and Caelus longed to be with one another
but Sol continued to forbid it.
He saw Terra as a dear friend
and would not see her hurt by anyone.
Luna tried to convince him,
she told him Caelus truly loved Terra
but Sol could not see for his eyes
were shaded by Caelus’s past.

One night as Luna and Sol began their dance,
Caelus approached Terra.
He asked her if she would join him in the waltz
and she graciously accepted.
They started slow, gaining each other’s trust.
Before long, they were dancing circles
around Luna and Sol
and Sol knew they were meant to be together.

Flashback Friday Poetry: Letting Go

the creation of a child
such a wonderful thing
to bring a life into this world
can be gratifying
you want the best for your child
no harm for your offspring
but as they start to get older
they will fly from your wing
you may dislike when they rebel
they must be free to sing
if they never challenge your rule
or try to question things
they’ll never be their own person
they’ll never leave your wing

Flashback Friday Poetry: Drifter By Nature

every few years
i get this itch
to travel away
a new place to live
a new frontier
a new tent to pitch

there’s nothing wrong
with the old places
i just grow weary
of the same old things
a curse i live with
to find new faces

nothing to run from
no need to worry
enjoy the moment
there are so many
forever searching
for new discoveries
