A kindness Done in quiet I’m blessed To see today As on my bus A sleeping girl’s Suitcase Rolls away A stranger sets Her foot—unbid To make The suitcase stay The sleeping girl Unaware Of the #rescue Sent her way We are Each other’s angels Large & small, Come what may #vss365 – at Fort Worth, TX

The end of a thing Is better than its #start Expanding the heart Expanding the heart Then why does everything Seem to fall apart? The sign says “Open For Business” But the taxes And the regulations And the customer expectations Just lead to bitterness #vss365

Everyone starts out naked, without baggage, direction, or will, carrying nothing but promise, and a big empty suitcase to fill #vss365 #start

#vss365 #start Charades Between Sanity and Madness You and I under similar light we both shine here As madness asks to choose between our sanity We write ourselves into both just to question us Playing charades on the dark side of the moon. Don’t you just love a saxophone that makes you Even as we step outside just to welcome a kiss Her music wraps around our gravity like our own Don’t you want to race just to catch a fire again? There’s a feeling we seize in the vibe of our eyes Searing language decides how our dance unfolds Light met Gravity in between our shared starts Your coy smirk rewrites mine as we both succumb. #gravitywaves 🎨: Pinterest

#vss365 #start If ever you hear me start To reveal what's in my heart, The feelings I bury inside, Where all of my secrets abide, Please patiently listen a while And bestow on me a smile, Take me by the hand And tell me you understand. -Profe Steve

#vss365 #prompt #Start On your mark, get ready, get set . . . In preparing for a race or new endeavor, there is always the moment right before the start. A mixture of excitement and anxiety. What is it like for you when you start something new? Let's swap stories.

The way she wore her lipstick like she’d been bitten by love made us all want to start over and my kooky heart, still warm so stupid, oh so stupid fluttered on the dashboard like dirty money #vss365 #poetry #poetryprompt #vsspoem

lamentable travels of fools are on victorless sojourns they go hate & anger by hearts upheld small the fight was yet an amber it was an apology, sincere tho' by none given this hurt may have eroded a day of egos & silence years of silence it birthed a blaze it did #start #vss365

The setting sun strikes
trees whose leaves bear the colors
of the four seasons—
the pilgrimage
of withered leaves will start #vss365 #Start

My words echoed
moments of silence,
a poetry of perseverance. 
My language became love,
#start to end: I was alphabets
in random order,
a poem
only in silence. #FoxProse #vss365

Sometimes you need to sit lonely on the floor in a quiet room in order to hear your own voice and not let it drown in the noise of others. 🧘🏻‍♀️✨ #Solitude #Quiet #Meditation #Yoga

It starts with a cup of hot chamomile tea, lapping against my jaw, then your hand on my thigh. #vss365 Oct. 27 prompt: #start @rachelnewcombe8

#vss365 I used to say Love’s nothing But a physical Reaction My theory Fell apart though When my own love Gained its traction Seems that I Misplaced my logic Moment that You touched my heart That my head would lose War with my heart Was destined From the #start

I have mastered the fine art of packing for any trip in a carry-on, yet wherever I #travel, I bring all my baggage along for the ride. #vss365

#vss365 #Traveled to Another realm Beyond My space and time There I met another “Me” Who was In quite a bind He’s beset By troubles And travails So worse than mine I gave My condolences But when I turned to leave… I’m knocked out Rat steals my life Now he Has all my cheese

#vss365 A clock’s face may change in countless ways Hazy blues to sunshine golds Yet its #tapered arms never lose their shape Ferris wheel spinning round Hands reaching out towards life itself From the sidelines I watch each turn Seconds streak too fast Minutes drag too slow I dance between the two learning how to breathe within the rhythm tick tock step

#vss365 #prompt #travel Yesterday we played around with the various definitions of taper. Fabulous posts. Now we need to take off and travel. Inward, outward, metaphorically, and/or literally. You decide. Let's see where we'll go today.
