Heading home
landlocked – but floating
we light the void
dispelling evil spirits with a wink
all thoughts exposed in ecstasy
while memories blur in falling rain
in seven silent strings
with meanings scrambled just so
*consume unfiltered*
and learn to embrace fuzzy shadows and sky
(without words) (without thought)
then collapse
in waves

Written for dVerse MTB: In my end is my beginning where Laura has challenged us to write a poem composed solely from 12 last lines of our recent poems. This was such a great idea, I really love how this one flowed!!
Tricia Sankey 
It’s beautiful Tricia ❤️
Thanks, when I read the prompt, I knew this would somehow work! 😄💓
My pleasure. It’s great to feel the way you did 😊
❤️🥰❤️
Cheers ~~ you created a poem that has a lovely flow! Then collapse in waves undone ~~ a huge sigh from me!
Thanks, Helen, it was hard to decide on that truly final last line! 😜 This was a fun write!
I was skeptical about the prompt, but gave it try & am OK with the outcome. You, on the other hand should be more than merely proud; you should be ecstatic!
It’s funny, I don’t feel like I really wrote it! 😄But I will take credit, thanks so much, Ron. ❤️🥰❤️
Musical and magical. Lovely!
Thanks, I think I always hear music when writing!! 🥰🎶💗
Lovely. 👏
Thanks so much, Selma! 🌸💐🌸
Very nicely done, Tricia!
Thanks, Dwight, glad you enjoyed!! 💝
You are welcome!
WoW. Nicely done.
Thanks so much, Ken, this was a cool prompt! 😎
Beautiful!
Thanks so much, Lisa! 🌸💐🌸

Amazing work Tricia 🤩
Thanks, Ingrid! I probably got lucky with these endings, but I may have to try it again with older poems later! 🥰
this is so original! many captivating lines not least
“we light the void
dispelling evil spirits with a wink”
Thanks, Laura, appreciate you hosting! I enjoyed how the prompt allowed lines to flow in a synchronistic way, going to have to try this with more poems in the future! 💝
A lovely moment you have described here, Tricia. I love the second and third stanza especially 🙂
Thanks, Sunra, happy to hear! 🥰
This makes me think of someone coming home after dumping a lot of emotional baggage and letting out a huge sigh of relief.
Thanks, Jane, I love that interpretation! 💝
🙂
Ooh! This worked so well, Tricia! Bravo! ❤️
Thanks, Punam, it’s fun to look back at last lines! 🥰
i really loved this strung so well with gorgeous imagery Tricia AND a great job on the prompt! 💞
Thanks, Cindy, it was fun to look back at the last lines, I think I’ll try this one again with some older poems! 💓
It’s a great idea.. love it! 💗

Can you send me the link to this poem?
“with meanings scrambled just so”
Sure, that was from “Browsing” https://wordpress.com/post/milspouseprose.com/68444 Thanks for asking! 😊
I love how this works so well, with ebb and tides of emotions. This is my favorite part:
while memories blur in falling rain
in seven silent strings
Thanks, Grace, glad you enjoyed that line! 💝
There was a purpose and story in this that shines through. A very thoughtfully constructed piece. It conjured up a story for me of relationship conflict, resolve and romance. I could be way off, but I loved it, Tricia.
I love your interpretation, Mish, thanks for your feedback! 💝
This poem is incredibly penned! I love the smooth progression of it 🥰💘💘
Thanks, Sanaa, glad you enjoyed it! ♥️🌹♥️
This is beautiful, Tricia! It all flows together so well, and then the release at the end.
Thanks, I was surprised how it all flowed! 🥰
You’re welcome! 😊
I love the end… but the whole poem just builds up to coming undone
Thanks, glad you think so! 🥰
