Love and Light are this week’s prompt words chosen by Ronovan Hester of Ronovan Writes.
Ron hosts a challenge that anyone could participate in called Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge every Monday, and you have until Sunday to create a post featuring your haiku poem. He is an author and poet and also does author interviews and much more on his blog. Be sure to check it out. Read Ron’s Haiku Prompt Challenge Guidelines for more information.
♦
Amidst the darkness
Came an incandescent light
To guide you to love
♦
Sorrow visits me
And sits upon my rib cage
To hinder my breath
♦
Through eyes blurred with tears
I noticed an old image
And cast off the woe
*
His sweet face in a photo
His smile fixed in time
♦
He will forever live in our hearts ❤

Beautiful and sad, Vashti. Thanks for sharing such a moving poem.

Vashti, even in your grief you write so well and so movingly. This beautifully encapsulates the fluctuating emotions and lends an air of hope beyond all that is currently being experienced. And in and of itself, this poem stands as a lovely tribute to the man who helped to make you the woman you have become. Blessings and hugs to you! xo ❤

Vashti, I’ve been away for a while. Just slowly returning now that we’re back home in Brazil. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Was it your father? At times like these there are no words.
Hugs ❤
