Meanwhile, somewhere in the Rockies… a poem appeared
This poem is in response to a poetry prompt that appeared in my Inbox this morning — it called to me as I remembered taking several photos from the car as my beloved and I drove back from the west coast earlier this summer.
NOTE: The poem itself in no way reflects our relationship. We are committed to driving together, side by side, or the rest of our lives!
However, sometimes, a prompt elicits thoughts that are asking to be expressed. In this instance, the prompt was for a Quadrille (a 44 word poem) that had to include the word, or variation of the word, “Nick”.
This poem wrote itself into being. It was fun!

I nicked a photo of your thoughts
left abandoned
on the roadside
where you drove off
without me.
A photo nicked holds not enough time
to find the way back
to where we drove side by side
on the road to nowhere
but Love.

To read more responses to the poetry prompt visit Diverse Poets. It’s quite fun and entertaining too! You might even feel inspired to ‘nick’ a poem or two or at least pen one!

A Haiku on Love
“Hearts break without sound
Tears falling blinded by snow.
Seeds yearn for spring’s warmth.”
Love never gives up.
Sometimes, we give up on love or believe it isn’t present, or that it doesn’t care to be with us.
Love is always present. Love is always caring for and with us.
We need to care for ourselves to know its power, to experience its majesty, to be free to Love.

inAlleluia Chorus
©2018 Louise Gallagher
Darkness rests
still
is the night
lingering at the edge
of day
break
waiting
waiting to appear
to open up
hearts and minds
to the wonder
of a thousand tiny fragments
of light ascending
into heavenly hosts
of alleluia
exalting
in the beauty of spirits rising
in Love and Light.
Alleluia
Alleluia
The Christchild is coming.
Alleluia
Alleluia
Love is in the air.
