Fifty Word Thursday

Hues of blues
Surrounding other moving blues
All swimming together for safety
And companionship in more blue liquid
Diving ever deeper among the green
Hues of green mean respite
Though all surrounds are in constant motion
Where complacency and cessation can never exist
Brown and green’s constant wavering means
Protection.

Ice on Fire
This is hope for the earth, showing ways to fight climate change. Maybe Trump should watch it, but he’d probably shrug it off as fake news. This film offers different types of solutions on how people are fighting for mother earth and her inhabitants.

3TC 6-10-19 – witch, pillow, margarita
I thought the margarita was a bit strong, but I decided, why not, and squeezed more lime into it. It was my vacation after all, and I meant to take advantage of all the perks of this new hotel. The brochure promised your secret desires fulfilled at every turn, or was it, at every turn a secret desire? I think the drinks are getting to me. Great, it’s just what I needed.
When I signed in, I was given a brochure explaining the extras at this particular hotel. I hadn’t paid too much attention to it, but as I lay back on the organic buckwheat pillow, I saw something interesting. “Ever want to see your secret desires? We can show you!” Yikes, I thought, this sounds too weird.
Early morning sun woke me since I forgot to shut the heavy drapes last night. Reluctantly I crawled out of bed, still feeling the after effects of one too many margaritas. They were delicious, though I smiled to myself, and took a brisk shower. I picked up the brochure to read again, and the part I read last night seemed to beckon me. Again, I thought why not, it’s vacation!
The location was not far from the hotel and the small shop was interesting. Tarot cards, spirit candles, various other occult items were strewn about but it wasn’t an uncomfortable atmosphere, just the opposite; it seemed welcoming. Out from the proverbial beaded curtain came an older woman, colorfully dressed with a large smile and dark eyes. “Welcome, welcome my dear” she offered as she noticed I was holding the hotel brochure. “How may I help you today?” Again, only looking at the brochure, she added, “I see you’re interested in seeing your secret desires.” She then ushered me through the beaded doorway to a small booth in the rear of the establishment.
Surprisingly, I was not frightened, and the longer I was in her presence, the more at ease I became. I melted into the booth and seemed not able to escape her stare. It was almost as if her being close put me into a trancelike state. I felt numb, and helplessly sat in the booth. The last words I heard her say were “I have you now, my pretty.”
The old woman was now free to reveal her witch persona, now that the girl was hers. A few more minutes and her transformation into the beautiful young woman would be completed.

Corn on the Cob
🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
Carol told us it was a special day
Corn on the cob, I must say
A well loved treat but to my dismay
Old choppers may give way
Removing the kernels from the fray
Guess it’s a knife I’ll have to lay
On to truly enjoy the display
Sadly, it’s the only way.

MLMM Wordle – 137
It was an attempt to seize the day, the old carpe diem. I was looking forward to a gift in the mail, rose and showered early. Then as I dressed, saw the wrinkles on my bared arm, and the massive burden of the weight of time suddenly struck me full force.
I feel no older than I did ten years ago. It’s funny how you can fool yourself into one way of thinking, but the hollowness of the area around a still strong muscle lacked the radiance of youth. Was my body really this old? A profusion of awareness invaded and no longer patronized my thoughts. Unsurprisingly you might think, I was smacked in the face with reality; yes, this is me, this is my aging body. The attributes of youth are definitely gone. My mind seems to have put this aside, deluding me.
Prolonged confinement of actuality leaked into my presence. And it is present. I put on a long sleeved shirt and think, I can do this. Will I achieve complete acceptance? Probably not, but there is no other choice.

It was a surprise, a memory gap,
between my conscious and what lies beneath
A fairy tale of youth and dreams
When everything is not as it seems
An unfilled wish of thoughts expressed
or maybe only memories are best
Not the present or even the future
Thinking of what might be, or conjure
Our minds only seek the best
And leave the others to lay at rest.
