I've found yet another writing site with prompts that I'm thinking I'm going to like. Velvet Verbosity 100 Word Challenge. This weeks prompt word is dust.
They are whispers,
whispers of love, hope, betrayal, and
dreams
The voices of millions
in seemingly harmful particles,
particles that many wipe, wash, wisk,
and wish away.
They visit me, and they visit you as well.
Have you heard them?
I’ve heard them as they float
through the bedroom.
They are there and they are real,
they remind me
that while I may still be
running against the wind,
I, like them, am still nothing more
than dust in the wind,
traveling miles to touch those who will feel.
They whisper this with love, hope, and betrayal in my
daydreams.
I wondered if I was going to hear a little Seager in the back ground - Well done with Dust!
ReplyDeleteSeager is always in the background. LOL Thanks

ReplyDeletegreat job at expressing emotion in this piece. well done.
ReplyDeleteoooh, very nice play on dust. enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the 100 Word Nerd Army! Always tickled to meet newcomers. :) And I agree with Tara, "enchanting".
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you meant to say "harmful". I feel like you meant to say "harmless"?
Thanks so much. Glad I found you. Nope, I meant harmful as in for asthma sufferers, people with allergies, etc. Dust gets a dirty rap.:)
DeleteLooking forward to the next.
