This lantern is my god
It provides me with warmth
And light on this night
This freezing cold night
It radiates hope
As I lay on this boat
Coiled on the deck
Like a #fathom of rope
Where are my rescuers?
I must remain stoic
This lantern is my god

Lion sentries guard the #emporium's entrance, their soft manes betraying strands of stone. They command a second look as I pass; a testament to their fastidious creator: an artisan of few words, I'd predict... I'd hope. A chatty stonemason... Ha!

She's absent by day
An outlier in orbit
Introverted alien
Sentry to sapiens
Then, comes the dark
She's free to reflect
Sun's poet for the nights
Gravity in introspect
Soothing stanza tides
Do mesmerize

We're skipping stones
Look at us fly!
Cutting distraction's air
Shedding vortices of despair
Kissing consciousness
Contouring the fluid
Waves of influence
Roll on through it
Propagating, culminating
In a magical coincidence of souls

Harrowed soul, aimless wander
Interim states
Transitioning to wonder
Growth's mirror can't detect
The spectre she was
The ghost that can't reflect
A shadow, a past
No place on this mast
On this ship named Thrive
Only the strong survive

Where's time's streaming edge;
The wet stroke of God's brush?
How the silence must roar
At light's fringe; what a rush!
And the fabric, what's beyond?
I see God and his corpus
Contentedly lonely
Bathing in purpose

Night eyes on dark skies
No one hears the cloud's cries
Electron tears, welling potential
Precursor to a Tesla torrential
Fright lights fry, bolts of fury
Ripping a path to an earthly bury
Sonic's delay
Has a thunderous pay

Dirt exploded under each tremor-inducing strike of the thoroughbred's hooves.
The knight's gauntlets squealed: steel twisting and binding on rivets.
Such was the strain for an armoured warrior to stay aboard a medieval unit of power.

Okay friends, it's my host hump day, so I thought we'd do something fun. It's time to hang up your woes and frustrations, standards and expectations. Make it funny, stupid, weird, immature, but don't follow through on this one!

Oh, rain cloud in the distance
Darkened by our petulance
Let it out, let it pelter!
Remind us that our woes
Are trivial and small
Let your nature do nurture
And reset our souls

Lone wolf at the back
The pack's true protector
Spots his offspring ahead
An unbridled jester
Atones for packs fool
Dines with frustrating
Cites the joker he was
Knows a warrior in waiting

When regret takes a toll
Belittle your blunder
Let your tears replenish
Reservoir of wonder
Now you're soaring
Rising and roaring
Feeding on thunder

I am peregrine: hunter in the skies
Drifting on currents, perusing what lies
They sense it, distraught:
Optics before onslaught
Dread leads my death dive
They always
Look
Up

Uluru: Monolith of sandstone, a freakish exception to a flat, barren outback. A rugged beauty spot.
It displaced the lace of twilight--a galaxy of seduction--as warm gusts delivered the desert's sweet nothings, reinforcing the mute of awe.

Behind the lines
In the slipstream of slaughter
A medic's performance
Plays out, raining mortar
Watched only by wounded
Keeping children in kin
Brave blood in their hearts
Fuels the saviour within

Jaywalker's legacy is lithe. It's void of pride: salt's water weight, free of shallow, sugary possessions and desperate attempts to maintain #bloodlines. What will be, will be, except life as we know it. He will leave is mark on humanity. It's his destiny. #vss365

You can't escape it, only change its course
Tacking, gybing, or stagnant remorse

Saturday's #vss365 #prompt is #bloodline. Enjoy!
