We are Vast in Heart-Centered Canvas of Life

In Loving Gratitude-finding gratitude in Everything

Today we wake to morning sun or clouded skies obscuring sight — stepping on left or right footed with intent or haunted anamnesis. Which do we choose — in a universe where the mind travels hitherto fro?

Reaching for a cup of life — sipping on its elixir. Standing before us — thoughts transpiring from unknown cavernous galaxies. We observe, choosing wisely to which allows most gratitude. Easy to choose — happy dance — fairy and unicorn — what of the shadowy doubts, darkened past, suffering all around?

Go and play! Or sit with shadows of our day? Both bringing happiness — one short and sweet, leading to continuous seeking of pleasure in another’s playful dance. The latter — with a single breath — illuminated thought reality yielding infinite joy and happiness.

Sitting with pain and suffering, counting blessings as we may. Far greater returns are seeking blessings of our day. A single breath — fixed upon blessings of this moment — transferring and transpired space-time continuum.

Every thought ever-existing in reality — choosing which to lead our day — creating roads less traveled — or paths taken a thousand times before. Live in a familiar galaxy or look to the neighboring star cluster.

So, for today, counting the blessings — starting small, expanding and transmuting past into future benison. See all as it is, see all as it may — seek and ye shall find — neighboring moon or blistering sun, All Blessings for everyone.

In love with this moment in time — sitting — quieting mind — giving thanks for birthing of a new beginning — multitude of colors presenting forth, breathe to the beginning and its end — all transgressions and divine happenstance — all beings of thought and physical form — a singular globe of cosmic proportions.

We are vast in Heart-centered Canvas of Life — flowing — naturally as It goes. Sending blessings to the readers — seers — medium of sorts, the movers — shakers — dancers of Life inspiring melodies, the third world — middle management — even the industrial giants — sending love and gratitude whether small or grand.

In Loving Gratitude — I Am Here.

Daily Spitting of the Bose — Let there be Night


Daily Spitting of the Bose — Let there be Night

Prompted fusion of words with friends

Shadow backdrop filtering moon — flighty air and her foggy bottom
not the soggiest or faintest of ideas — play on words
thick and thin — hell to high waters — out behind daylight
deliver me — into a glistening starry night.

Think again — misfortune placed upon mantles of despair
not for the glory of it — or taking a ride in years
yet time draws nigh — fortnight minimally explaining time
space continuum — Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.

Letting all go by day — noctambulous delivering nothingness
frivolously — anguish inflicted ancestral hand-me-downs
tattered jeans — flaking from the soul* of his feet
tapping right out — trepid of ague.

Into the night — shadowy moons facing onward
an entity of being — not mistaken identity foretold
restless sleep — working a twenty-four-seven
round the clock — mirrors projecting backward.

Cast out — by the pale blue light
transfigured me — angelic creature gnawing at the bone
of reduction — into nothing, it is returned
daily spitting of the Bose — let there be night.

What do you get when you fuse varying prompt ideas?

Maybe a jumble of words, deep thoughts with Jack Handy or just Canvas-filled with hand-sculpted font upon a page. This was an attempt at Taking the phrase “out of thin air/into the shadow,” reworking it in some fashion within the structure of the first stanza. The prompted poem was on any subject chosen, but the first stanza had to have each of those words placed somewhere within it.

Since the subject was “Any subject,” why not choose another prompted topic on “let there be night.” Please leave a comment as to yay or nay on this combo.

Thanks J.D. Harms for these fun prompts and thank you to the whole Scrittura team for the daily Dance with Inspiration. Here the two prompts:
