National Poetry Month ©️vcl 2019#1 Darkest Dark

In the darkest dark
 Seeds germinate
Take root, break apart
Push determinately
Through the night

Dark thoughts cannot remain
Concealed forever
But come to light, burst in birth
When they come in contact
With the morning bright

Which waits to greet all
Who try to grow, to test their worth
Just for spite

Inhale ethos ©️vcl

Today I am mindful of memories.                                          of warmer climes, warm breezes                                      cold lemonade and daisies.
I feel regret for things that no longer are
Or will be exactly so again.

As I focus on the memories,                                                        I press them to my heart
Crushing the sweet fragrance                                                   of their blooms and inhale
Ethos.
