Writers Island " Torrid"

Prayers for my dear friends (L,S,B,C,D,S,L)
who are facing life altering tribulations at the moment.
Wishing you resolve, positive news, acceptance, comfort, and hope.
My heart is with all of you.

As you can see I was experimenting with different color on these digital pieces.
Altering the colors of our life to see which ones work best
can be a road to finding ways to cope.

Writers Island prompt " Torrid"

Daunting

Trepidation peeks

In the window

Awaiting the ambush

On sanctity

Cavalier in command

Ubiquitous pain

Impales

Disrupting normalcy

Expunging solace

Bound by sorrow

With no escape

Weighted by torrid

despair

Writers Island " Renewal"

Rene Newal

Writers Island

Prompt for this week is " Renewal"

Renewal

For just a moment

forget who I used to be
Explore my rebirth

Please no longer ask me to create
A masterpiece in the kitchen
I’ve traded laboring over red hot elements
For the harmonious tapping of keys
I have replaced telephone calls for emails
The morning crosswords ritual has been set aside
for challenging games of online scrabble
I’ve swapped mesmerizing television time
For even more compelling computer moments
Of reading, blogging and connecting
It’s been a delight to exchange
The beckoning bully, tedious housework,
For flicks of a brush soaked in acrylic
And the marching of the mouse
Through a digital paint program
Into fulfilling art pieces that will linger
More beautifully than dust
I have traded social time
For bathing in silence
Waiting for heavenly guidance
And god’s gentle whispers
I’ve switched my perfectionist stance
For a more creative, peaceful, lax, happy me
All in the name of renewal
