I had every intention of writing poetry, but my husband and I left on Good Friday to bring our daughter her valuables, to her first apartment. Our road trip was full of snake roads and crazy weather. The view was heavenly and after lots of lugging, tugging and hugging we were able to get things settled. I am happy for my daughter and her fiancé
Brenden. Their new home is cute-it has lots of potential and a glorious view.
Thanks to our neighbors, Ben and Laura for loaning us their trailer.
A sign before we drove up a mountain.
A robin wanted me to play follow the leader, nearby is a labyrinth.
The happy couple!
An Easter poem for Flash 55
The rules for this prompt are simple: write a poem or piece of prose in precisely 55 words.
Snuggle bunnies
awaken to world's bridge
linking inner n' outer hearts
grace grows a spiritual rose
in planted peace
find Sunday's Swan song
moon dreamers leap into abyss
hearts flutter like robin's flapping wings
pull an olive branch out of
a magician's hat
enlightenment ripples
snow lilies bloom-
shimmering 5 cells flicker and shine
trust your twinkle.

I hope the trauma of daughter getting her own apartment didn't twist your thinking any. :) :) (means I'm still smiling, I like!!! [but I liked yours better before] ).

L.Diane-They are-I will post a photo of their view-I want to move-lol. No, I won't be that kind of mom, but gosh it will fun to visit.
Alex-Thank you! My son had to work and it aligned with their Easter break. It was a long haul, but worth it. I can smile knowing where her heart is~
Marian-You want a tissue? I am trying to be fun and happy-it is their first place and I come home and her room is empty and I found a tiny Barbie phone in the corner of her closet. I txted her and said, "I see you have lost your phone"-then sent her a photo. I wish my hound was here, so I could howl with me. Yes, I am an emotional mess. I talk to both my kids every day-so I feel fortunate!! It is hard to let your heart walk outside your body~ One piece lives on a beach another in the mountains. Thanks Marian-embrace every day-there is so much joy in the ordinary!!
Grape-Yes, a sweet pairing, to see this happen for them~ Thank you!
Kerry-Thank you! I walked the labyrinth and felt the bridge of my inner and outer world meet. They are giddy~
Jim-The only twists for me-is the worry about the spiral roads to her home. Winter will scare the hell out of me. They are engaged and he proposed after taking her on a difficult hike. I will worry-it is my job~ Thank you, Jim!
Rosemary-You make me smile! Thank you~

I read your comment to Marian on my way down to comment...Your pieces of heart walking outside of you...beach and mountains...that concept would make an excellent poem, too!
You're so inspiring...love ya!!
Sherry-Yes, that inward spiral rose the one that has thorns that we over look to enjoy the perfume, the beauty-we all have those roses in our lives~ Thank you, so much! Yes, the snuggle bunnies are trusting their twinkle-keeping my fingers crossed for those two!!

RK-Thank you! :D
Hedge-Thank you so much~
Karen S-Thank you, that was so sweet~ It is a bittersweet moment-you embrace their joy and smile, but inside you also ache~
