summer broad as wild grape leaves luscious brine on the breeze our unripened fruit skins still taut exquisite surprise to see them vined on sugaring days of short August #vss365 #fruit

another morning to tend to the chicory and the goldfinches flitting in thick August air nothing more #vss365 #tend

we have our silly human debates over creation and such but among the tanned grasses the bursting thistle and the cream of Queen Anne’s Lace we can agree what summer is #vss365 #creation

NEW HOST ALERT! Coming out of the gate with #temptation for #vss365!

The important thing was finally realizing it was over. You knew already, but you stayed anyway. Because you still loved me enough to let me take the scenic route to where we were heading, whispering in my ear, “Turn here,” so when I #arrived, I’d know deep down it’s what I wanted too. #vss365

#vss365 her every #arrival was a gift - a gift unappreciated until her departure

"Back in the day, I used to work two #shifts back-to-back. I was young and thought I could, yet I could see I forgot things." "And now?" "I can barely stand one single shift, I keep forgetting things, plus now I'm older." #VSS365

When peace arrived, it didn’t enter me, 𝑖𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑   𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑡   𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑑𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔   𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒, as salt inhabits every wandering sea. #vss365

#vss365 every day, on every street a package will #arrive into the hands of someone who ordered hope in a cardboard box

#vss365 #Nature #Song  the storm-show will #arrive with drumroll-thunder spotlight-ning, rain-songs and wet-earth applause 

To truly arrive you do not need to travel. Simply be present. #vss365 #arrival #haiku #spiritual

Birds and bats and colorful, jewel-like insects #descend in a rainbow of thoughts. It's a brainstorm, an inundation of ideas, of information. When they take flight again, I'm left with a rainbow of scattered feathers. I hope to rebuild a fraction of what they showed me. #vss365

Broomstick-riding in the summer is a special kind of pleasure. A warm #tailwind lifts me up over the landscape, the napping green giants between the emerald hills, birds like jewels, gold in the air. The sea glitters white, but beneath its surface is deep, blue magic. #vss365

. we went through something and found out things about ourselves understanding each other in certain ways, we were obsessed— our bond tight touching in otherworldly ways like the wetness of rain, blackness of night #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #TheWanderingAphorist Every #arrival at, is a departure from.

#vss365 #BlackHumor empty street, midnight under a flickering lamp its shadow arrives before the black cat does a little joke Night makes to keep itself amused

the stories of youth may archive but sudden recall may be evident when wrinkles #arrive #vss365 #tanka

#vss365 #arrive "No judgement," he said. "Please do," I responded, "I trust you, and I have not yet arrived."

Real talk (for a kid turned 18) Sometimes, without really knowing why, I want to die. Want nonexistence One with everything & none the same Forgetting that there's time for that pre/post. So thank you, kid-- You lighthouse sign For to the shore For to the shore Arrive alive. #vss365 #arrive

The ghosts I know do not appear as misty forms that conjure fear. Instead, my ghosts #arrive at night to ask, in dreams, if I’m all right. #vss365

Father #arrive-s and gathers us in the kitchen. “Children, remember how we talked about what is happening on our planet?” I clearly had not paid enough attention. At my young age, I am not so concerned with Aranda’s current events. “Aliens are meddling in our affairs." #vss365

fear arrives with the winter wind dancing on memories of fireflies trembling under blood-soaked moons above the bleached wildfire meadows the coal-dusted crows return slowly they cackle, sensing death in the air the sound deafens and deadens senses we all die crawling to safety #vss365 #vssdaily

And love, once true, for no more distance strives, Already home, and yet each dawn arrives. #vss365

#vss365 🚥 #arrive The day I arrive is the last day of the month. This last day begins with a very short story named Leo A, or The Sidewalk Rabbit. In a zodiac language invented by my lifestyle, not by calendar days, The Sidewalk Rabbit will not shut down at five. What she will do is survive. 🐇

Day #arrives slowly Moon hands baton to the sun A daily passage #vss365 #writingcommunity
