in the beginning there was arrhythmia #chaos wayward winds swept the universe tempest held sway an unfathomable detonation became our prologue all was collapse and dispersal until rhythm claimed space then came vast harmonies life became a refrain a fugue an impromptu #vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets

Lucky it was only a drill, but there were times like this and this was why they needed drills. Dylan had ordered several, at random moments, but, for some reason, this one descended into #chaos. And that was the point. Find the problems and fix them before they became real problems. #vss365

Biting into the apple, Dylan paused, holding it up before him. Another colony had recently had its supply shipment obliterated and yet here he sat, enjoying #fruit. It felt obscene, but, like the sailors back on the Earth-That-Was, nutrition was paramount. He just felt like a hypocrite. #vss365

I grew old by the hour Learnt things I never realised Reaping #fruits of my labour Made me stronger a little wiser Softness of clouds high in the sky Where dreams became real late at night Allowed myself to believe again Sometimes the world turns without warning We rise then we shine #vss365 #fruit
