Writers Island had a wonderful prompt today. “Over the Horizon”. This is not at all what I thought I would write, that makes it somewhat ironic, the title, don’t you think? Find links to what others found over the horizon here.
Change
Change comes in its own peculiar ways:
smacks me in the face
should I look the other way
in an attempt to ignore
(wrinkles)
chases from behind
screaming expletives
as I run away
(responsibility)
bribes me with
money and future islands
in the snow
(work)
cuddles me in arms
that lift less weight
than in their youth
(love)
yet it never ceases to entice me
to peek over the horizon.

ah, you covered it all Marcia, so beautifully too, thank you for sharing.
Somehow you managed to make one of those things I hate most in this world sound not too bad
You really covered all grounds.
really like the way you placed each in a compartment of reflected life
Nipping at our heals, indeed. Thanks.
