Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Day 23
Today’s prompt is to write a location poem. I had a lot of fun with this prompt and sharing the metaphysical side of me.
A Place of Meditation
Deep breath in — I am
long exhale — Love
In — I am
Out — Love
In — silence
Out — thought
In the moment
out amid the universe.
In discovery — I am
out to the world — me.
In a state of being
outside limitations.
In my head dancing with light
outward my heart offers warmth.
In breath, I exist
out of vapor, I expand.

Thanks Mom!
Love it..
