At first light the dream rises leaving a suave trace in the air I begin there inviting you to follow wherever the words may open… The #vss365 prompt for December 1st: #suave Happy writing! ✨✍️ 📸 Y. Jolie

I hope they don't notice I am about to cry. I do not understand everything being discussed, but one thing is clear. The Lostai will separate me from my foster parents, the last link to my family. Foxor glares at Klemar. “One day our people will rebel against this tyranny.” #vss365

when the tissue of sun comes apart remember rivers colors kinships plains & surges enough to soothe your #last thirst if fate must have its way we forge our own fable it breaks us or saves us depending on how we choose to see #vss365 #poetry 📸 F. Jannat

What will your #last words be? A poem, or a curse? A pun, or a confession? A plea, or nonsense chatter? Or all those words you could not say before? #vss365

Lately it's so hard To gather at the #table Even once a year And set aside pettiness For prayers of thankfulness #TankaThursday #TankaPoem #micropoetry

I didn't write this But you might read it Between the lines #FromOneLine

- born with a tempest inside me, still learning the stakes it shapes, shoes slipping on wet stone, wind pulling at my sleeves as if to claim a place in me, a moment held at the edge of surrender. i pause between what matters and the tide that would wash me away. - #vss365 #poetry #read

the air is dusky the paths strewn with dark orange leaves it is the season of patience and a hundred reveries where late autumn remnants gather into their own #matter of longing #vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets 📸 T. Teeluck

What really #matters in a world where nothing seems to matter anymore? How many times do we have to rebuild what we've destroyed before we leave it alone? What matters is that you matter even when you think you don't. What matters are hands that hold arms that hug and hearts that love. #vss365

Now that I am older, Kaya no longer intervenes to save me from punishments, other than request that I be given water, protein bars, and bathroom breaks while caged in the crate. To make #matters worse, my fellow cadets come and poke me with rods or toss the crate around. #vss365

What matter a world In a universe of worlds Only its people #vss365 #scifaikusaturday

'Don't be grumpy, Gabe. I mean, what #matters most? You covered in slime, or all the people I cheered up with the prank?' 'Well, Pixie, if that's your logic, I assume you'll be giving me the last brownie to make me smile.' 'Sacrifice the brownie? ...Nah.' Munch. #vss365

On reflection what is more important than family & health? Health Matters We matter You matter What truly matters to you? I ask myself what can I do today 2 make a difference 2 my life tomorrow? What can I start right now that matters The #vss365 #prompt for 29 Nov #matters

Never convenient Never timed Never lost Our love #vss365 #timed

Arandan tradition requires a pre-wedding trek into the jungle meant to represent the challenges we will face in marriage. I'm not sure what to expect, but the journey seems to be a #timed event, because Montor keeps us going for hours straight until I ask for a rest stop. #vss365

I’m finding time is flying by as I read your prompts, which leads me to the T in a SMART goal. T is for timed If I go on holiday, I plan exactly where I’m going & what time I’ll get there. Time helps me focus & with the way my mind works that’s a 👍 The #vss365 #prompt for 25 Nov #Timed

“Montor, pretending a love affair with you will not be easy for me. I am married.” With a wave of his hand, he dismissed this as ir-#relevant. “That is touching, but you will never see your husband again. Do you realize you are galaxies away from your home planet?" #vss365

His wife made him watch a news report about a murdered man. "I don't see how this is #relevant to me." He gestured at the TV, "I didn't know the guy, you did." "Keep watching," she said. "The police found hairs on the victim," the newscaster reported. "Those hairs are yours," she smiled. #vss365

#vss365 ‘ers you are fabulous-yesterdays writing was bang on relevant, which leads on nicely to asking, is my goal relevant… Is it worthwhile to me? Is it indeed my goal, or has it been forced upon me by someone else? The #vss365 #prompt for 24 Nov #Relevant. #vss365

Thoughts Roam Anxiety Swirls Morning Walk Serenity Achievable #vss365 #achievable

#vss365 #blueskyrelay Shiny baubles Floated At the point #wave after wave Pushing them Away from shore The only goal Left #achievable A walk into the sea

Today I used onions as an excuse. Yesterday, it was the rain. Today I listened to certain songs & wondered if you found me, somewhere inside you? And if you did, how long it held your attention? Today I was frozen & didn't know what to do. Today I realized I don't like these days at all. #vss365

"Riz, found this musty old document mixed in with my accounting stuff, I'm guessing it's yours," I said. "How do ya know its mine? Jus cuz its old?" "It said your goal is to have infinite wealth, something so #achievable." "Betta dream big talk win big!" #vss365 #riztherogue

I never wanted to #achieve you for I know death would've the upper hand eventually I just ache to be with you night and day weeks and months and years with you, not a second is dull time flies and time drags when you're away #vss365

'Right a bit, Gabe. More...more. Hold the knife steady.' 'Pixie, is that ruler even straight?' 'Absolutely, Gabe. Trust me. Right a bit more.' 'Hmph. I doubt equal is #achievable with you measuring.' Giggle. 'Perhaps my half of the brownie is SLIGHTLY bigger than yours.' #vss365

It's amazing what becomes #achievable once you decide that it is. Dreams become goals. Yesterday's goals are today's reality. Tomorrow is determined by what you believe today. #vss365

No one asked if it was #achievable, I just went and did it If you take initiative anything is possible and this proves it Sure it was difficult and I messed up a few times sewing the back, but it was worth it It only took 5 people to make the skin suit and it fits like a glove #vss365 #vsshorror

Wow! Isn’t it incredible what can be achieved with just one word! Which leads me on to ask, what next? What about this goal, is it right for me? Is it too challenging or too easy? Have I unlocked my potential? Is it achievable? The #vss365 #prompt for 23 Nov is #Achievable

‘You need to stop comparing yourself to others.’ ‘I know. But I just can’t help it sometimes.’ ‘You’re unique. The only #measurable thing should be how you feel. Don’t worry. Be happy.’ ‘Wow. Have anymore worthless advice?’ ‘Remember, at the end of the day - It’s night.’ #vss365

- i am a beaker, a fragile glass vessel bare as betrayal ‘til you fill me with the silken splashings of your chemistry reactions ululate in silent violent science i await, patient eager to see how measurable your love has become or if what results remakes me. - #poetry #vss365 #read

No #measurable amount of blood will fix this Death is the only way Annihilation of the entire city block is a good start Let's hope that's enough to appease the deity you've angered #vss365 #vsshorror

The river by my feet #measurable in its motion Where it goes i could not say But I imagine mountains and hills Swaying up and through By towns and villages On it the people do flow Then further it goes out To the sea then far away Around this world Then back again #vss365

No life is #measurable to those who’ve loved the one to whom that life belonged #vss365

“I will accompany the boy to his stations to keep him safe and on track," says my mentor. “OK, but be aware, Zorla expects #measurable results. You may share in his punishment if he gets out of line or does not meet expectations.” Great. As if I needed more pressure. #vss365

"An invisible energy pulse transmitted genetic codes from outside the host planet’s atmosphere affecting pregnant females at a #specific stage of gestation. Those Sotkari Ta traits were passed down to some of their descendants.” “What? They did that without permission?” #vss365

"After the jump, there is a moment of disorientation. Memorize the #action-s you will take upon arrival to compensate for this.” Everyone reviews their station controls before strapping into to their seats. “One more thing,” I say. “For those who pray, now is the time.” #vss365
