Enfolding, embracing
In welcoming warmth,
Protected from judgment,
From sadness and harm;
You’re safely secure
With no struggles about.
No worries and fears,
And you’re happy without!
When you do experience
All of these things,
A blanket of Love
Covers you with its wings!

A Quadrille (poem of 44 words exactly that includes some form of the given word) for this week’s
dVerse Prompt, Blanket.
Changing evolves us-
Persevere, flow with nature
To success and joy!

Saturday Six Word Story Prompt.
Could someone let me know if the 6WSP image appears at the top of this post? Thanks!
Whoever said, “Resistance is futile!” was right.
Resistance really is futile, because change is inevitable!
We don’t have to like the deal, but we do have to deal with it.
How we choose to deal with it is what makes change either easy or difficult, good or bad for us; not just the change itself, but the whole transition process involved.
Because transition, too, is inevitable!
There will be bumps in the road, oh yes indeed, but do we ride with them or rail against them–that is the question!

For Denise’s “resistance” prompt at
#SixSentenceStories!
Let us not be scorched
In shades of blood rivalry
To gain what? Nothing!

Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 326 SCORCH & SHADE.
“When the Saints Go Marching In,” often just called “The Saints” or “When the Saints,” needs no introduction. This is good, because its origins are unclear. It’s a Gospel song, an African-American spiritual, and a jazz classic, such is its versatility. I’ve known it to be a campfire song as well.
I hope you enjoy this simple lyre arrangement!
I wrote this song in June. You can listen to the lyre arrangement with lyrics
here.
Today you’re hearing alto recorder, then lyre and zither played together. The melody is on zither, with accompaniment on lyre. Note the bell-like ringing in this arrangement, made possible by having two sets of strings.
This is the tenth and final piece in my
Double Strung Experiment Series.
The next time you hear mention of double strung something, it will be a harp! I’ve had fun and learned a lot while arranging and playing this series, but I will also be glad to sit in a chair and play! I’ve been sitting cross-legged on the floor to make room for holding the lyre and zither balanced precariously on my lap!
I hope you enjoy this piece, and as always, I appreciate any comments and feedback you want to share!
Thanks, and thank you for listening!
The call of nature sounds within!
Dark seasons come to find the Light,
And day is resting through the night.
The veil is growing ever thin.
When quieting our mental din,
We hear the wisdom of the call
To rest, reflect, regroup, to pause.
We can be calm; we can be still
And let our breath the silence fill.
Creator rested; so must all!

A Decima for Ronovan’s weekly challenge:
Still. This week, it’s the D rhyme line.
The Decima has become one of my favorite poetry forms, joining the Limerick and Triolet as my top three!
Leaves falling gladly
Each ending, a beginning
Welcoming the change

We hang by a thread
Fragile, yet strong, recording
