STILL STANDING

For Sunday Whirl

This weeks words are:
Thunder, Vowed, Inherit, Deeper, Stand, Umbrella,
Become, Joined, Shifts, Excuses, Childhood, Light.

It's been a long time...

LIGHT SOURCE

Under a dark thunder cloud
we both vowed to inherit
a deeper sense of merit
letting us stand together
under the same umbrella
to become joined at the hip
working continuous shifts
to un-make old excuses
renewing childhood truces
... and at last seeing the light..

  1. I've missed you, and your elephant. The hope in this piece comes with effort. Life isn't easy, but the light...ah yes. It's always there if we look.

  4. Really good to see you Stan. You are a light source. Any committed relationship takes hard and continuous work, would that we all stood beneath that umbrella,

  7. Even when we think there is nothing ... there is usually that tiny slip of light we don't even think we see.
    Beautiful.

  9. Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my wordle.

    I like the compact verse you offer. It reminds me of my reconciliation
    with one of my siblings. We finally agreed that we can agree to disagree and still remain friends. You've got a bunch of stuff I'd like to read...I just need to find the time. Glad you are 'Wordling' -

    I'll have to look for you over at Mad Kane's Limericks as I just sort of started posting there. Cheers.

  11. "Renewing childhood truces..." Renewing any truces, with ourselves and others. I need a bigger umbrella or to learn to enjoy the rain. Glad you are still standing- does make me wonder where you have been.

  15. Hi Stan. Another lovely concise poem. You and Walt amazed me this week. Probably because I waffle on so...see? Those were great words to play with, weren't they? And, because I'm so late it getting it done, I don't have so long to wait for the next bunch. :)
