Engulfed in darkness, dreams surround me
Secrets of the ether, with promises to be free.
Fly to the moon, land among the stars
Here in the void, I’ll heal my scars.
π«
Shadows washing over, floating in and out
Voices encircling me, calling all about.
“Why are you here?” they finally ask
“I’m just trying to find my soul,” I answered at last.
π
“Nothing has changed, the message is the same
Now back you go, from whence you came.”
“But I’m not ready!” I demanded, so evidently.
They laugh, “But the answer is not here, most definitely.“
π
There’s more work to be done, now seek within
Surrender and release, you must begin.
Divine timing, you can’t change that
One wrong move there, and that will set you back.
π
Wild and vivid imagination, waking up with a start
Thoughts are racing, with the pounding of my heart.
Brain swirling amidst fog, dimensions have shifted
Even a million realms away, my mind is still completely twisted.

This is great. I felt like you were writing from within a jelly fish, floating but also deeply submerged.

Thank you so much! π Thatβs a really awesome way to describe it. I definitely kinda wanted to emulate the feeling right before you go to sleep and as youβre waking up.
Also, I didnβt feel like writing about Olympic sports but still wanted to post π
Hope your weekend is going to be a great one!

Here’s hoping! I haven’t written anything for today’s prompt. Not sure I will, but if not it will be the first time skipping since early January. This should matter not at all, but sort of does? haha

No I totally feel you on that. I hate skipping. I have a 60 day streak! π I think sometimes we feel compelled to write because now weβve built up this habit of doing it everyday, but sometimes the words just ainβt flowin with some prompts haha π at least for me, anyways. January is a long time, so I get it! Iβm not sure Iβll be able to answer this one today either, haha

Hey, the way sporadically splash your emotions over the pages, I see some hidden rage, riddling pain, quizzingly beautiful engulfed in your flames.
