365 Creativity Project-Day 358

Journal entry:

I began writing a status on Facebook, and it morphed into this poem. I particularly like its shape on the page…

January 1st

Raining slowly, quietly,
Just a pitter-patter
As the sky softly weeps.

This day,
Like all days,
Slips quickly away.

Blank pages of a new year
Written upon by actions taken,
Opportunities passed by.

Love wraps around
Keeping us safe,
Heating hearts.

We make our way into
Mystery provided by
Delight of oncoming days.
