Days 95-97 of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Motivational Monday Poem

HORIZON Lost, scared,   Alone, and unsure enter Hope is on the horizon     Climbing mountains   Scaling walls   Actual or symbolic     Moving forward   Toward destinations unseen   Take resolute steps   Even when your feet only brush the earth.

Day Sixty-One of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Sunday SoulJourn Poem

Day 61: A Beautiful Sight Staring at a blank screen, the cursor teasing me with its incessant blinking. “Come on. Write,” it implores. “As you wish,” I reply.
