Time and Tide, Outer Banks of North Carolina #OBX

Monday night meandering with my eldest son tonight and it was still light out at 7:20.

Hope you're having a lovely Monday🌸 #ColorADay #PinkMon #MacroMonday #EastCoastKin #Hydrangea #flowers #fleurs #Bumblebee #photography #photographersofbluesky

I come like water and wind— tide-soft, drifting, carried more than certain. My hands are empty, my heart an open shore where Your breath moves through me. No perfect words— only this: I am open. If You are near, meet me here. #poetry #blueskypoet

I miss it 💙 beautiful work

Watching the water flow, my thoughts begin to waver. I think of my life… and the quiet disconnect I sometimes feel. Then I hear Him— not in a booming voice, but in the wind on my cheek the sweetness of honeysuckle in the air. I remember… I am held even as my tears fall like rain🌿 #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #poetry 📸Photodune When blossoms #waver just a little Trees shudder brittle I feel winters wrath has a hold On my spine so chillingly so Knowing I can’t let go Of yesterdays sorrow So if I crack splinter I hope The sun comes fast melding me back To what I was somekind of me before

#vss365 #poetry Look around Don’t need to pick a side Mesmerised by each others eyes All the seasons whirling into one Thunderstorms and rainbows We are one All of a sudden The air seems to #divide for us only Only to rejoin as a bubble For only us to breathe within As one

Among the quiet trees the forest lets its blossoms rise across every divide as if each petal remembers how gently new beginnings can grow. #Nature #Naturephotography #Naturelovers #Photography #Forest #Trees #Spring #Flowers #Wildflowers #Bloomscrolling #Naturewisdom #Thoughts #Vss365 #divide

you have fallen into your shadow I saw the truth of this for no longer could I find the light in your eyes it all went from fullness to absence no wavering between no chance to leap and hold on to something you're still there but I'm not sure who you are or if you'll come back one day #vss365

I wanted to say I liked it because it was precious not for safekeeping but for everyday wear I wanted to say I loved the weight of it the breadth of it the warmth radiating from it I wanted to say I loved how it grew always changing inspiring me to describe it I wanted to say so much #vss365

I let myself not matter for too long I don't have any regrets love is always worth a little living for the person who takes so much space in your heart I've just been alone for too long and I need to be defiant I know you, too are alone in your own way I'm sorry I can't change that #poetry

Sunrise. Cascade foothills. Thursday, March 19. Have a beautiful day. 🧡☀️

#faesense is back! The monthly theme is #LilacLonging Think buds about to burst, the luxurios wastefulness of spring as we anticipate explosions of colour. All #art except AI is welcome — #poetry, prose, drawings #photography Please include alt-text if you use images & tag me so I see your posts

I asked the question I was once afraid to hold— and the answer came not in words, but in liftwind— a quiet rising through all I could not understand, reminding me I am still held. #blueskypoetry #poetsofbluesky #poetry

This weekend has been about wonder. Not needing answers— just noticing. Water moving. Roads curving. Light finding its way through. I think faith might look a lot like this. 🌿 #ncmountains #nature #poetry

The world was born in harmony nature at one then humans destroyed this great accord and set off on a treacherous road taking what could to please their wanton needs #Harmony #vss365 #poetry

Global Warmth The sun's a warming robe, Its beams on borders probe, And bids them to disrobe. One sun for all to own, Its warmth is solely shown, A bother to the prone. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #environment #earth

#vss365 #2wordprompt Pretty low bar for me Finding #harmony The way paved With #stones Thrown my way You could've mailed them With a #stamp My name in bold letters And I still would've Missed the point Anger being nothing To a mind raging Out of control In silence

Rooms That Remember I am trying to stitch the wound closed. Not with thread — with time, with breath, with the quiet discipline of waking up each morning and choosing to stay. #poetry #blueskypoet

Do I want to submit here: obviously. Do I want you to submit here: 1000%. Do I now want to write about my inner child/past self (cuz lets be fuckireal, I was feral) literally throwing bricks:... don't look over my shoulder while I'm writing. #poetrycommunity #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

wild wild rose gold and floral hush — wind still in her ears and the future soft in her eyes. #poetry

perched above the room like a small, breathing omen she offers no thunder, no flame— only the steady weight of green-gold eyes be still. observe. claim the high ground with quiet certainty. let the world move beneath you while you remain unshaken and utterly aware. #poetry #mykitty

woke up with cloudy blue in my eyes a mirror reflection of the Carolina skies But in my heart’s chamber there’s nothing but gray since the day you left my happiness drifted away yet I still go on as we all must do casting my gaze to the heavens I sure miss you. To my mom & Dad #poetry

I may need to tidy it up a bit, but the core of it is solid. A piece meant for mountain mama. Aimed to do a spooky spicy one about old gods rising that'd chill bones... next one eh. #BastardPoetsOfDoom #time #haibun #writing #wildwalkprompt #scar #poem #poetry @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

Last piece before the new prompt #vss365 😊. #poetry

I will walk, though unsure & small, And trust you’re present through it all No grand arrival, no clear display Just love enough to light the way And if this journey’s end I miss, Let it be said my offering was this: I did not know, yet still I stayed, And chose the good, and was not afraid #poetry
