Since those huge bright globes appeared low in the sky it hadn’t been safe to venture outside.
All who tried were frazzled to a cinder.
We soon realised that we needed to keep to the shadows, but then the acid rain proved deadly too!
We’ve now used the last of the food and water!

Rapid rhyme #8

I have no fear, I have no care,

the ghost I saw just isn’t there.

It wasn’t there before I saw,

it won’t be there forever more.

The ghost I saw just isn’t there.

I have no fear,  I have no care!

Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution. Check out all the fabulous entries here.

Someone said the link is broken.

I think it is missing, entirely.

Really it’s just an illusion; there is no continuity, no strength, no security!

If I can see it, why can so many others not?

I pray we can forge new links, pick up the broken and missing, and join together in harmony.

Sunday sayings #37

Sometimes it’s totally impossible to “fight” for yourself….sometimes the only way to survive is to “fight” for others.

Sometimes the battle can only be fought on your own. For those who do battle alone; those are the most dreadful times when the people who truly care about you cannot help!!!!….in that “solipsistic” crisis you will feel alone.

Despite all that, in that moment of despair, know this…..

You are not alone.

(these wise words belong to Mark Robinson, my nephew)
