A River of Stones: One daily observation.
Late in the afternoon, a rainbow “ball” forms over the mountains. Rainbows always make me feel hopeful. The end of the month of July, hot summer’s breath. The future promises promises a new day ahead!

Artist’s Journey
New Images form
Sounds of chains rattle
And jangle in the hall
Fear pierces the vision
Voices whisper holy inspiration
Ideas splinter
And multiply like weeds
No fortress for protection
The train continues
Clickiety, clack
Clickiety, clack

Prompt #278: Standing Ovation
Standing Ovation
Is this it
What we’ve worked so hard for
Fifteen minutes of fame
The light go out
All is dark
The applause has stopped
And still I stand
Waiting for what
A little girl again
I wait for the white pararie dog
But he also waits
There is no way off the stage
Lost as the tiny quail baby
Lost from his mother
Now an old woman
I turn and look at the path
That brought me here
Remember the hard times
The applause starts again
I cover my ears
It is the standing ovation
Small prize for a lifetime

Is the applause hollow? I felt it may be…in the rainbow maybe we are all ages of ourselves..I think how it must have been for Judy Garland singing that song as she aged..how the prize in life is the one thing we can’t achieve (physically at least) – being young forever..the ‘ball’ of colour remains beautiful..Jae
To tell the truth, I never know what I will write. Perhaps it reveals, or conceals.
I think your are brilliant!
I think that we actually have so much to do, and so little time to do it in. For so long, we have not idea what or how… I don’t know, as has been said before, youth is wasted on the young. By the time we begin to “get it”, it’s over.

Whew! What a display Annell. Your photos continue to amaze me. The rainbow is a promise. The wordle is as well. The creative process is always a bit splintering and jagged. The last piece is filled with pathos, like echoes of a standing ovation, only recalled because it is over so quickly. I applaud you, my friend,
Elizabeth

Yes, the train continues. Clickity clack. We don’t know where the train will go. Only that it will continue…clickity clack. Nice wordle, Annell!
Love that Standing Ovation…waiting for a white praire dog…life certainly feels like that at times…and yes a standing ovation would be nice…bkm
A lovely stone leading to a wonderful wordle. A standing ovation I have yet (!) to experience.
I like your train’s idiosyncratic noise.
I enjoyed them all Annell, but the standing ovation really touched me. Lovely writing! 🙂
Clickety clack clickety clack,
it’s good to read your words and sit back.
If you read them aloud to me
I’d fall into a reverie.
🙂
