Maybe it takes walking
through life’s fiercest heated fires
to arrive at green meadows
feel each blade of grass grow
*
Maybe it takes
enduring life’s harshest foamy storms
to revel in radiant sunshine
as it sparkles in your eyes
*
Maybe it takes
an upending, battering shipwreck
to relish salt’s splash
playing upon cheek and eyelash
***
no matter the fires
the storms or the wrecks
in your loving arms
is where I’ve found warm peaceful rest

Wow tomorrow is the last of a month long blogging challenge hosted by the fantastic Ato Z Challenge Team. Thanks to Lee and all his crew as they have encouraged more than 1400 bloggers to do what they do best – write!
This year for A to Z challenge, I am using the Nautilus as my inspiration all month. The shell has many chambers (at least enough to fit all the letters.) You will find poetry, You will find some dark stuff (as I am attempting to branch into the horror genre), You will also see a smattering of short stories or prose (some with children in mind) others as lessons that we can all learn from. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know some talented writers over this month long writing journey. Please check over at the A to Z challenge and see what they are up to; they are a fine bunch of folks.
