Micro Poetry – ‘Sent First Class’ – A poem by Goff James
Life Box – Quote of the day
It’s Always You
It’s Always You
Thoughts of you
Fill the canyons
Of my mind
You are always
On my mind
In every thought
In every song
No matter what
I’m doing
Thoughts of you
Keep entering my mind
And I smile
It’s you my love
It’s always you

Three Feathers
“When the owl sings, the night is silent. (Quand le hibou chante, La nuit est silence)”
― Charles de Leusse
Three soft feathers lay at my feet
shed from a winged one flying high
On cool morning wind they did ride
before drifting down to the street
A lovely sight, ’tis bittersweet
the message they send me is clear
Know this, you have nothing to fear
My spirit abides in your heart
Our souls are one we’ll never part
For I will forever be near

– 560 fires since this began
-20 major fires
-771K acres burned (that’s about the size of Rhode Island)
Grateful for our firefighters and first responders on the front lines keeping California safe. “

Crescent Moon #writephoto #crescent #night-meets-day
i had you under a crescent moon
where tiny raindrops and little sparkly lights
are night’s mournful yet graceful norm
the moon is in your eyes as it reflects back
sun’s glorious light, not wanting to outshine
the sadness within, as we
await for the night to meet the day
for up and ’till then,
this moment in time
under the crescent moon
in the warmth of your embrace
in the glory of your kiss
in the tenderness of your caress
i am yours and you are mine
under the crescent moon
waning, as the illuminated portion
is decreasing,
our energy is slowing down
bathing us in feelings of satiation
and gratitude
embodying fulfillment
generating wisdom

The 2020 Daily Writing Challenge – August 22
Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
– E. L. Doctorow
Today is Day 235 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.
Did you write yesterday? Half of the year is in our rear-view mirror, and I am drawing a line in the sand. The targets I missed, the stories I didn’t compose, they no longer matter. These last six months are history. Done. I won’t lie, 2020 kicked me in the head, leaving me stunned, unsteady, and incapable of completing anything beyond basic tasks. I bet I am not alone, but don’t count me out yet. They say what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right? I am confident I will discover I am more capable than I have ever been. I dug deep, reevaluated my annual goals, and I decided…
