Hello #Writers & #Poets!
Today’s #BlueSkyRelay writing #prompt (Nov 11, 2025):

#ascendant

A spiritual journey
Has come to an end
It’s time to ascend
And pass the torch

Go, let imagination soar

In 1939, Zhe’ra was in Berlin, and mighty sick of how the world was turning…

939, Berlin With all that’s going on, first a war, then a depression, and now a bigger war. It’s like the rapture is her to fulfill a self-fulfilling prophesy from the silly humans in this age. Zhe’ra was furious. Life these days was a chore. Even her lavender scented candles couldn’t keep up her morale. The measure of the leaders of today was «bah!» Some days she just wanted to ascend, to start a new life, or even just portal to another time. But she didn’t remember how she’d done it 400 years ago. She beat a slab of meat into submission and shaped it to a burger, a nice spice mix and some vegetables and that would do for a meal today. She’d make her way out of Germany tomorrow. She’d had it. Maybe back to somewhere in America next. #VSS365 measure #Whistpr lavender #VSSMagic chore #Emoetry rapture #WIPSnips burger #BlueSkyRelay ascendant #WeirdMicro self-fulfilling prophesy

From the primordial light through the darkness and through the shadows, I’ve now ascended to the book of records, and the #BlueSkyRelay torch is handed over to @ignorantfairy.bsky.social.

Thank you all for an awesome week!

Maybe I’ll see you again some day!

She watched the house #burn from the shadows.
A life she no longer could live had to end,
A new identity she would take, in a faraway land.
Eternal life was not easy when all others aged too fast.

In 1503, a few days after Zhe’ra arrived from her escape. Still haunted from the Seafolk and the Ayyada…. She find a place for herself

1503, London Zhe’ra had been in this age a week. Every night she had nightmares of what happened. The innkeeper had tried to get her to talk to a local priest, but she declined. Didn’t want to tangle herself up in any numinous matters here. Not that she was paranoid. She was just deeply remorseful for what had happened to Nerys. She missed her more than words could convey. This time though, was wonderful! In her time books were handwritten and copied, the printing press had made literature more available! And her hair and suddenly turned curly! She’d always had straight hair but now she sported curls! This age was so different from anything she’d known back in Shara. People were simpler - yet more aware. It was amazing! She could see ways of making a life for herself here already! #VSS365 literature #Whistpr Curly #VSSMagic Tangle #Emoetry Paranoid #WIPSnips Local #BlueSkyRelay Numinous #WeirdMicro Deeply Remorseful

He walked in the room
a divine presence
not quite human at all
We looked in awe
and held our breath
then he began to speak
revealing the mysteries
in this world we live in
empowering the way we live

Watching out from the empty #room he felt so alone. The world outside was crazy and scary, he quietly closed the corner, sank down and hugged his knees. Not today. Not today.

Searching
for catharsis
in lands of pain,
an oasis in this
depression desert;

Hope must come
and quench me
love must arrive
and feed me

1947 television Taking a sip of her tea, she watched the wonderful picture-box, the RCA 630TS she had purchased last month had finally been delivered. It felt like catharsis to finally get her hand on one. The outrage people had displayed when the device was out of stock in her region, laws broken as people tried to steal the display model. The police had come round after that, with their interrogative tone, trying to figure out what happened. Of course, she could still peer through portals - but those were two-way, so she risked being seen by the observed. This was a one-way setup. She could see news without worry! Staying safe, as people started noticing how she appeared not to age, led her to stay indoors more. The room with the tv was her most treasured now. She was transfixed with modern technology - where would it go next? #VSS365 Law #Whistpr sip #wss366 room #VSSMagic region #Emoetry outraged #WIPSnips picture #BlueSkyRelay catharsis #WeirdMicro interrogative tone

How to reach catharsis?
The ability to understand
To find release;
Of mind and spirit.

The joy it brings
Pure understanding
Immeasurable;
Freedom of spirit

Unworthy

My soul is yearning
For the liminal space
This realm is not for us

My body struggles
Within this lonely realm
Belong here it does not

In dreams I soar
Through spaces unknown
Feeling close to the Light

This realm is filled, not with Light
But with corruption, greed.
Forces of darkness

We walked
Into the #liminal
Forest
Between the village
And conservation lands
To the coast
Trails worn by years
Of the disappeared
A few hundred feet
They vanish
In both directions
A snag of cloth
On a branch
A scuff of a shoe
In the moss
The ocean's roar
At the bottom
Of the cliff

Once again
I find myself here
A comfortable place
A liminal fear
Face to face
With peace and terror
Between serenity
And dread
Hand in hand
Where the dead
Walk with life
And strife is
Always near

Liminal Through her years, Zhe’ra had watched the once so starry night sky gone dim. To her existential sorrow, humanity’s progress had wrangled nature into submission. She became a little shy for a while, nauseated with humanity after yet worse wars destroying the planet and seeming to be workings of the Dark One. Language kept evolving, the English she had learnt when she arrived here was not the English of today. To her, it seemed most of life was liminal. Neither here nor there, just a series of fleeting moments. Even her, filled with the one power of the Light, was changing. At around 900 years she now looked like a woman in her 50’s. Neither young nor old. She decided to fake ageing for a while. Settling in a small town in the Midwest. She’d be content here. For a while at least. #VSS365 Language #Whistpr Starry #wss366 Shy #VSSMagic Wrangle #Emoetry Nauseated #WIPSnips Little #BlueSkyRelay Liminal #WeirdMicro Existential Sorrow

How could the #starry night sky be anything but #liminal since it was #without a permanent #time and place. Sure, he knew it was the earth that was spinning but he liked to think it was stationary while the sky, led by the sun & moon, danced around it.

(a revisit)
The liminal criminal sighs,
Caught between shadows and lies.
A future that he denies,
The liminal criminal sighs.
No clear path before his eyes,
As daylight begins to rise.
The liminal criminal sighs,
Caught between shadows and lies.

Katherine missed her mother dearly. Her grief was a liminal thing, not quite past, not quite present, like the sea mist that never settled but never left.
