When poets dream,
the earth grows bones.
Stones hurl themselves
through windows
open to the lure of light,
only to return,
filled with shadows
that divine the dawn.
Just beautiful. I love it.
Ah yes, and it shall make the earth a better place!
This is both a well written poem AND a wonderful take on the picture prompt. I read aloud. This one makes me read with a slight creepy tone, but there’s also a smile on my face. Kind of like the picture! Delightfully well done:~)
The earth grows bones…yes.
Yes I like that the earth grows bones too. Very clever.
What a cracking opening line! Enjoyed this!
