Carry on Tuesday #90 Prompt: Use any or all of this Longsfellow poem.
Between the dark and the daylight
When the light is beginning to lower
Comes a pause in the day's occupation
That is known as the Children's Hour
I have chosen to work with the first line.
THE SLIVER BETWEEN DARK AND DAYLIGHT
The sliver between
Dark and daylight
Belongs to me
It is the time of day
When this day is first revealed.
Sometimes a pure fresh green,
The green you find when
You look under or within,
Sometimes pink, lavender and blue
Sometimes yellow and blood red
It is a moment of expectation
Breathless, quiet and still
Before the explosion
Of the sun
Coming into full view,
Lighting all the earth,
Reassuring all is still here
The same as you

A Small Stone #30
I can hold you in my hand
A dust catcher no doubt
Sit on the shelf
You conceal
Waiting to reveal
All the words
And pictures within
One page after another
Ready to fill
The quiet hours

Sunday Scribblings #252
SAFE
What is safe
Is it a small strong box
Under the bed
Warm when it is cold
Eat when hungry
Your feet firmly
On the ground without fear
It will give way
Turn your back
Without fear of attack
Good weather or foul
There are those
You can count on
To be safe is
To live without fear
............
Even from self
