This weekend the challenge from “Weekly Prompts” is: Up and Down. Please go over and visit their fabulous site by clicking >>Here . My response below is a poem about, the ‘downs and ups’ of our worlds situation at the moment….
An Old Book Shuts, a New Door Opens
Today I question myself
What do I see?
Upon my worlds’ lower shelf
There! An open wider drawer
Containing a treasure chest
A vast crater of potential
An orb with a mystical two piece door
The doors’ bottom half’s pale blue
Like yesterday’s fading blue moon
A book of old testaments
The doors’ top half’s bright yellow
A gateway of gilded gold
The book of tomorrow’s future
The new prophecy of days under the sun
