Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt this week:
The waves gently lap against my feet as I stand at the water’s edge. Looking across at the calmness of the waters, it is almost impossible to believe that these very waters were where I lost you.
I want to lash out at the ocean. I want to cause it the same hurt it has caused me, but I can’t.
For this same spot, the place where I last saw you, is the same spot I have come to all my life, to seek solace and serenity.
That day, you had waved to me, as you pushed your boat out. “Get the coals going, my love. I feel a big catch coming today!” Your smile still burnt on my retina.
Who was to know of that freak storm that struck, capsizing your boat? These same waters, so ferocious, huge waves crashing over you, as if they were trying to swallow you whole. The waters so dark, masking all that swam within. Which monster had been stirred up to cause so much grief?
And yet, now, you caress my feet, soothing me. I can see straight through you. Your clarity allows me to have now fear. There is nothing hidden.
Why must everything be bittersweet in life?

It’s Tuesday, and that means Colleen’s Tanka Challenge! Of course, just providing a couple of words would be far too simple, so we have two words, yes, but we can’t use them! Only synonyms allowed. Actually, scrap that…
Colleen has decided that this mid month, we are getting a photo prompt!
USE THE ABOVE PHOTO AS THE INSPIRATION FOR YOUR POEM. ASK YOURSELF QUESTIONS AND TELL A STORY. BE CREATIVE! WHAT DOES THIS PHOTO SAY TO YOU?
This is home sweet home
Where the light on the doorstep
Shines a bright welcome
A place filled with memories
A house full of family
