Day 3 Writing Challenge Theme: Best Day of Your Life

Two Sides of the Same Coin

Side A
The unknown
A simple day
The usual monotony
Trudging along just to make it through.

Side B
The anticipation
A glorious day
Everything is new
The very motions of life seem easier

Side A part two
The bait is set
Completely unaware
Nothing seems right
Then a revelation blinds with its brilliance

Side B part two
The anticipation builds
You look eagerly around
The moment has come
You leap about in ecstasy

Two sides converge
All the dull thoughts
have been blasted away
The joy that fills you
makes you fell lighter than air
You feel untouchable
Higher than the clouds

This moment will live on forever

Day 2 Writing Challenge Theme: Gifts and Giving

Both Real and Imagined

Harmony in motion
both seen and unseen.
Felt and sensed.

A sparkle in the eyes.
The warmth of the soul.
All forward motion halting,
a moment prolonged.

Coming or going,
the warmth and comfort
can melt the iciest of hearts.

It is not for the thought
of kindness returned.
Only for the moment,
that moment of exhilaration
as another reached the highest high.

Knowledge of such success
can make the dreariest of nights
the most radiant day.

Day 1 of 12 Day's of Yuletide Poetry/Writing Challenge - Theme: Winter Solstice/Nature

Hey all. I know it's been a long time since I've posted any of my original work here.

I for one have been bogged down with not only Christmas preparations but also participating in NaNoWriMo. I was happy to actually finish an entire story in one month.

For those of you that would like to see the fruits of that labor, follow this link: An Aspie's Life: The Untold and Unknown Story

But this time, a good friend and I have taken another challenge upon ourselves. True to form though, I'm currently working on the one for today as I'm posting the one from yesterday. So a not so rare double post from me again. Here's hoping I can get back on track.

This challenge was posted on Facebook and found by my good friend. Here's the link for those that are curious: 12 Days of Yuletide Poetry/Writing Challenge

For day one starting yesterday on the 21st, the theme was Winter Solstice/Nature. It didn't have to be Christmas or Holiday themed but it had to go with the topic somehow. In future dates the theme of my poem will just be up as the title of that day's blog post.

So without further ado.

Nature

Seamless flowing,
constantly changing.
Always the same order
but never the same manner.
Each blurs into the next.

Hot to cold.
Cold to hot.
Passing through the spectrum of colors,
a kaleidoscope effect.
Tumbling one over the other
yet sweeping majestically
while constantly morphing.

New sights,
new sounds,
new smells
while basking under the sun
or tucked deep within the
frosty landscape.

It is all around
but also within.
The nature of the seasons
and the nature of us all.
