objects from the past
held close still
I am loath to let go
do they hold a pulse
core of life
beating at our touch
or arresting fade
tender shells
husks holding wishes
shall I cast them off
finding peace
in open spaces
or indecisive
wait to act
until the new lune

Judy, thank you! The lunes are part of a single poem, not really standalones. This is the third year for me. I love your lunes, especially the color references. The fuschia flower lune gave me chills. Lovely.

Yes, I realized they were all part of one long poem. Two years ago when I finished my second NaPoWriMo, I decided to just keep going and I’ve published every day on my blog since. The first year (in NaPoWriMo) I thought it was going to be hard but it never was and I got hooked! Great to have an excuse to put writing first–and I’ve used it every day since.
