A dream that decided to make unto itself a nightmare for both herself and I.
But like all nightmares, it has proven to be simply an inconsequential mental exercise which simply serves to make of me a better me. A thing to learn and grow from, and to never return to afterwards.
And as all nightmares go, this one too can not last forever.
I fell into a dream, but now the daylight beckons, the nightmare is almost complete.
And I will be able to dream again, once it is finally over
Is this my last post? I can’t really tell, but I do know that I couldn’t leave without visiting – at least just once more – the beautiful skies of our 100 Word Song:
M’desk is standing-height. I wanna crawl underneath it, to hide from Him.
I wanna crawl underneath, but it’s too high, providin’ no space small enough to feel safe.
I wanna crawl underneath, despite His sayin’ that everything’s finally becoming as it shoulda always been… as it never coulda been till now.
I crave to crawl underneath, as His reassurances only cause to pain me more.
My wings’re becoming unbound. Stretchin’, flexin’, impatient to be tried. Not on m’own account, but simply cuz the time is Now.
I wanna crawl underneath. But doing so’s pointless, tain’t nothing can hamper my Flight now…
A smattering of a truncated thought. A portion of a one-way conversation, held in 100 words or less. The last remnant of a topic that no longer needs be discussed, here or elsewhere. Inspired by a reality more surreal than fiction, my latest prompt mash-up – this one being between 100 Word Song and Light and Shade Challenge.
As always, I hope you enjoy…
“I’ll always love you.”
A white lie, one eventually bloomed to black.
“Whatever. You never listened to me.”
Listened? My very life was a response to your words.
“I wanted you to be free.”
Than why’d you cage me?
“Shut. Your. Mouth! Without me, you’d have crashed.”
With you, I did.
“I’m doing this for you.”
More white lies, a wedding cake’s full.
“I know you’re ‘unhappy…’”
This isn’t going to make me so.
“I know you’re gay!”
It wasn’t me who left our marriage-bed for another man.
“Whatever. I’ll always love you.”
A white lie. One no longer worth holding true.

Light And Shade Prompt:
She tells enough white lies to ice a wedding cake – Margot Asquith
The last time that I was late in posting, the last time that the song prompt resulted in a 100 Word Song response that caused yet another song to come to mind as well.
I’m OK with Leeroy being angry. I mean, it’s not like he knows where I live or anything. Here’s this (last) weeks (long overdue) response. I hope you enjoy…
In the final analysis, He only ever gave you two gifts: your life, and that of His Son’s. Everything else simply flows forth from these two.
What you do with them is what counts. How you share these with others is the key.
In a world hollow and dry, you’re best by finding the one with whom you’ll drown with.
Should such one exist.
But if not, still you must continue in searching them out. You need persevere in seeking the origins of love.
Your life, His son’s sacrifice, these were not divined for loneliness. These, dear one, were intended for Joy.
