In the car of ginny...

wallpaperweb.org

In the car of ginny
gotten of the bottle
feelings burst…

All dressed up,
three wishes – gone,
captured. Next step – unsettled…

After all, life comes to rustling leaves, days-dry…

with a deck of ‘if’,
bittersweet tears,
and no stopping monkey-mind,
calling ‘blasphemy’
every step and try…

While I’d recall
the chain of signs,
symbols’ prophecy.

Light wind chime
through the sea shells
singing jive…

After all, life comes to simple ways  facing sky…

whole, born in
plagued desire
to the will to
keeping dawn alive
in the sun & rainy day
                within…

  11. I like the idea that life comes to simple ways facing sky.....I always find that sort of return to simplicity when in nature, when facing sky or mountain or in the outdoors.

  15. Being optimistic is a good habit to chase those shadows away..

  18. Sun and rain within can sometimes work out well..a cool refreshing burst of water to shield us from its force

  19. All our parts make us whole - even the dreams of night or day that challenge our being.
    Nice use of the word list too.
