Misty haze floats across
My brown eyes to black
A flurry of melancholy
Begun as a pleasant reverie
Then the dark shadows
Crept way on in

Sun kissed days
Picnic baskets
Strawberries and cream
All crushed to #ash
All berries now taste sour
No longer are you mine

I've never seen the moon
Glow with such intense
Ancient love and wisdom
Other than within
The centre of your eyes
And now that they have
Seen me
It glimmers more
Than the surrounding stars
And I
I shy set low, a deeper sunset red

Viv let a small breath slide past her lips and tried to keep it inconspicuous. Work-talk. Well, that was as #safe a place as any to start.

“We nailed it today, don’t you think?” Rowan continued, and her tone was light. Friendly. A lie.

i cupped old shards
in both hands,
listened to the last ember
speak,
then gave it
to the match;

i made smoke and #ash
of it—
a midnight flower
lifting, drifting—

and in the space it left,
my breath returned—

i exhale.

There is that thing, so much promise, so much hope.
Layed upon the altar of corporate greed and eviscerated to satisfy the bottom line.

Somewhere in the dungeon of his mind, thoughts and memories of ash and smoke. He had known so little peace in his life. Something he could not have believed to be a global issue. The technology had not been designed for this, but again the greater profit outweighed the greater good.

The inspiration for his new aircraft came from the humble #ash.

A single rotor was simple enough to produce, though it had a tendency to wobble so intensely it often threw its occupants into the Solent.

Christopher Parke's invention of powered flight in 1667 is not remembered fondly.

there is no more getting lost
exploring the depths of the forest
it is gone now
burned to ash
the old wisdoms obliterated
an incendiary wind claiming their stead
threatened by every new spout

A mound of ash ... bright feathers ... your friend missing. Some of the ash is scattered on the apartment floor, and in that there's footprints - and more feathers, like something molted. Drawers and cupboards ransacked.
Is this what it means to love a phoenix?

When Billy Doc died
We turned him to #ash
Passed him all around
And all agreed to leave him about the world
Then send a photo.
Which joined others
In an album dubbed
Where the hell is Bill?

So far he's made it to 6 continents.

She opened the floor to ceiling blinds—another solid gray day.

In the 2020s, much had been done to stop people coming through arbitrary borders. Too bad they hadn’t focused on wind-blown microorganisms or #ash.

She tapped the short-wave microphone. “Can anyone hear me?” #vss365

*This is a poem I wrote that appears at the end of the #novel TUSK: a Beringia Story.
I like it! ☺️
I replaced the word 'fire' for today's #ash prompt. It actually works better!
Cheers.

~Ember~

Ember

One night upon the open land, two beasts shared a fire.
And though by days were lethal foe, they found peace at the pyre.

The lion sat too close, the mammoth warned him off,
The beast stuck out his chest in pride and at the mammoth scoffed.

The flames flickered, the fire spat an ember in the air.
The spark, ablaze and drifting, to nestle in the hair.

The lion raged at such an offence but fled the #ash that burned.
The mammoth laughed and shook his head: what had the lion learned?

sitting around
the fire pit
the ashes cooling
they wait
unmoving
unmoved and
wonder
if the other
would be the first
to experience sonder

Before I'm #ash
I want to be
full of berries
and
floating on my back
in calm turquoise waters
and
surrounded by like minds
with big wonderful hearts
and
loved by a million
animals I've rescued
and
safe and warm in a cozy
cabin in an enchanted wood.

Footsteps echo
in trodden paths
Somber replies,
cold hearts.

Still,
you steady
your course,
my boy, Oye.

Gutless backstabs
leave no wounds
don’t bleed forever.
Heal,
my boy, Oye.

Ashes of fathers,
promises to keep.
If you fall
always,
rise up,
my boy, Oye.

She crossed a bridge
edging closer
As she crept along that lonely path
the divide between the living to the dead
The sky overhead
was grim and foreboding
Volcanoes erupted
with the anger of the Gods
thick #ash spewed
the fires from hell spread
her fears mounting
for what lay ahead

"Why so down?" asked one white #ash to another.
"Ever since Barry Bonds, they all want maple bats. They'll put us out to pasture."
"Cheer up, slugger. They'll figure out it's not the bat."
"Maybe." Ash swatted away a dozen emerald ash borers from his trunk. "What's with these pests anyway?"

I found love sitting silently alone
In the burning embers
Of my unconscious fall
You were something to me
Until the ash hit the wall
