The weekend slowly arrives then quickly goes Drawing a line at the end of a week sometimes filled with dramas and despair Lethargic lie ins a brief respite On Sunday morning Taking a dog for a long walk Watching mindless television The weekend can be full #vss365 #lethargic

#vss365 #lethargy A dealer in time, lethargy stalks his prey, intent on stealing energy. A thief of enthusiasm, he leaves behind his calling card of fatigue – a practised purveyor of daylight robbery.

#lethargy seeps along veins, pools in bones, gathers under skin. Hands cannot bear its weight; knees bear its brunt. Shoulders bend 'til heads hang lower than dirt. The world is gravel beneath palms, the future mere dust billowing, uncatchable. The now is the standing stones we try to drag. #vss365

Cause of the lethargy? Not just bites from swarms of puffy little dogs, nor the cave-dwellers who replaced their hearts with smoking crosses. The heartbreak was a giant mallet on a backward swing, but all of it..time passes. What's post-traumatic stress order in June? #lethargy #horrorprompt #vss365

Comfort is the silent thief. It doesn't steal your time - it steals your hunger. Beware the #lethargy that feels like peace but tastes like surrender. #vss365

nudging in pink a soft press of blush cheeks huddle for comfort skin soft as blankets the shine of the soul glistens a dew, a fresh sense of morning to push the #lethargy away but is one awake? dreaming always of a smile yours #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #poetry 📸 Phys.org The sun didn’t rise #Lethargy crept filling us up From our toes to our eyes Like a moonflower maiden i stood still When the air had hung silent I should have known it be an omen The dark side of a love spell Sent by the moon Falling commets crashing stars

Without warning, sorrow forms a cataract - life becoming clouded in a soft focus haze... Time relapsing in shimmering hues and hedgerows of memory of long gone halcyon days. #VSS365 #Poetry #DailyVerse

#poetry #vss365 #BSPP51 @darkxfer.bsky.social @ourpoetryx.bsky.social - I'm looking at today’s prompts for the #WritingCommunity, and words linger on the edge, posing riddles. They challenge me to brave the cold night of unknowingness, before they wash over me like a dyslexic cataract. ... /1

62.3 She doesn't know you. You love the idea of her. In your mind, you let her rearrange the very stream of your emotions. Long gone are the fears of never finding the one. She is the white shadow, a cataract in your resolve. Yours in nightmares alone. #vss365 #poetry

Cloud covers moon in milky cataract, her stars hung loosely on a night threaded lanyard. We are a tiny thump of a heart beneath incomprehension. Mysteries above us that we can only throw wishes at. Time already passed, we are a hope with one step in the future. #vssdaily lanyard #vss365 cataract

Life's splendor meets past's shadow halfway at an inflection point— survival instincts galore, I groan. Believe I might fuck around and forgive myself— but ancestral trauma is my site fidelity, and my hastened rush for freedom is just a cry for help. ✍🏼 #blueskypoetry

After her #cataract was removed she was able to see into the future. Initially she loved the novelty but then life became predictable and boring. She asked for the cataract to be put back in. She thought things would go back to normal but instead she would see the past life of everyone. #vss365

I've been trying to focus on the good things in my life (of which there are plenty) instead of dwelling on the bad. The latter has been destroying me. #vss365 #cataract #poetry #mentalhealth #hope

When did the world wake up with #cataracts? When did we start to stumble, eyes glistening like seashells and hands fumbling in the dark? It must have happened slowly, yet one day we were okay and the next day we were not. I want to know, how can I believe someone who tells me they can see? #vss365

"These people look at the world through #cataract eyes. Blurred realities. Diffused colors. Blinded by the glare of stardom. They don't see what's really there and probably wouldn't understand it if they could." #vss365

"You see only my milky #cataract eyes and feel pity. What you don't realize is what I can see isn't visible with eyes." #vss365

Yes indeed The eyes have it The conclusion we already knew despite our collective #cataract view through the mist of intended blurriness Try on the rose colored specs with x-ray vision for powers deflective to see right through our current calamity reality #vss365 #inkmine #poetry #poem

A river splits A town and forms Two #cataracts Crying tears full Of gold pieces #vss365

A message flashes up on my phone. “Click here for a glimpse into your future.” Intrigued, I click. Reverse camera is on, my face filling the screen. I blink. When my eyes reopen, they’re clouded with #cataracts. Now I can’t see the button to click to go back… #vss365

Their sense of security crumbled in an instant, like being protected by some perpetual sentinel who steadfastedly yanks the cannon's #lanyard to #fire upon an enemy he cannot see, as #cataracts have settled in during his years of loyalty. #vss365 #vssdaily #BookishTues #amwriting

there is no redemption for one without redeeming grace so i tread outside the flowerbed my only gift to the garden once believed, now #deceived my flesh is calloused no fool to a touch of kindness my mind's eye grew blind a #cataract to suppress the dreams #vss365 #emoetry #wildwalkprompt #flowers

Time may take our health #Cataracts may take my sight I know you're still there #haiku #vss365 #poetry

fog lifts #cataracts clear i finally see the missing pieces the hidden depths finally, a destination to my journey #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #cataract Dust storm? Whatever it was, its eye was a cataract on the planet’s surface, a grey imperviousness. The drones sent back nothing. Val looked at it uneasily while suiting up, the eddies shifted, swirling. Malevolent. The first surface team was still missing.

"What's wrong grandma?" her grandson asked, "Ever since your #cataract surgery you've been acting weird." The spirit standing behind her grandson warned her to be silent with a finger to its putrid lips. "Nothing's wrong," she replied, "I'm just getting used to being able to see again." #vss365

#vss365 #haiku Sadness torrents were so deep, many tears caused #cataracts to both eyes for hours. youtu.be/JxPj3GAYYZ0?...

gifts all around us just waiting for us to see what we are made of it's hard to see splendor with humanity's cataract #vss365 #cataract #splendor #tanka

Will this be the year? "Which looks better, this one or this?" The first one I answer. She flips the slides, "This or this?" The second I answer. Eyes drops go in then the verdict. I'm told cataract surgery is still a few years away. #vss365 #cataract

The body she lives in hours that raised her sorrows that deepened her joys that undid her Time kept its patient hands on her shoulders like a blessing she never asked for Now she is fruit falling through a #cataract of suns ripe with all her seasons #vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets 🎨 by HAYA

the #cataracts of life can be daunting illness death loss of job poverty war hunger thirst and so on and there are billions of us a swarm a nest on earth all with our needs crying out help me praying incessantly but the tanks still move forward the bombs still drop the people still #vss365

My father and brother had ferocious arguments. I remember that last afternoon. It was as if a cataract of light had fallen over the fields, blinding me to everything except the faint figure of my brother walking away for the last time. #vss365

roar of cataracts throbs through the hollow of me till I am water #vss365 #cataract #micropoetry

Would that we could sit alone Mist rising from the cataract's foam And scratch our names into the stone Like the others did In the simplicity of nice Before we were Dragged under by device #vss365 #cataract #poetry

Every probe sent into the shimmer, the #cataract of light that stretched across the quadrant, reported the same data: time stamps from before it had been sent. Recordings of the team who had assembled it, images of its component parts; it was as if the shimmer gave memories to the metal. #vss365

62.4 Her voice is the siren tormenting your fingers even when they touch the words of others; unspoken rivulet, impossible cataract: the abysmal haunting you dread and crave. #vss365 #poetry

we moved through the brambles towards a roar of water fog and mist catch us slowed a dark loam beneath slips into a covered broken shale carpet a deep green sumac trellis births crimson velvet reaches the Poestenkill cataracts are near we can hear hungry sounds gather us a rite rain #vss365

May they #forgive me as I bid them goodbye #steel frames for this nearsighted dame that framed my squinty eyes #cataracts fixed did the trick #deceived my #lanyard no longer will it sway left it on the #counter til I threw the #bum away #2wordprompt #vss365 #emoetry #vssdaily #WIPSnips #inkmine

#vss365 #cataract Didn’t matter the weather she was always drawn To visit the falls anytime from dusk to dawn Roar of the cataract View of water diffract With its turbulent torrents her troubles were gone

when working my intensity blurs at times like a #cataract I guess it's just all these years on earth I've been so lucky to have. from this opaque coordinate my spirit becomes my greatest sense. i lean into it. coffee helps too #vss365

a murmur in the underbelly slowly awakening from the #cataract veil that held it in the mud until it remembered the energy from sole to heart to crown #vss365 #Poetry #Meditation

in warmth of candlelight I blink to see you through a well of happy tears this fathomless depth of desire the most beautiful feeling contentment in #cataract vision a silky soft veil of night dreamy, impressionistic watercolor blends in drifting fog a halo appears around you now I know #vss365

cloudy vision joins the already muddled mind i won't miss a beat #vss365 #Cataract #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry #Micropoetry #JustWrite #Resilience

"If you ask me, I think you have a bad case of #cataracts," Cosmo said. "I can see fine," Amarula retorted. "Not the physical kind. The metaphorical one." "Oh, what? Is friendship going to cure me?" "Maybe. But the government managed to have you acting like an idiot." #vss365
