Pebble
Falling in love is one of the dumbest things a person can do..not because it isn't wonderful, but because it is risk epitomized!
I found Jesus at the hem of her dress...
Prayer seasoned
In the remorse of loss.
Morality...
Hangs like a pendulum,
Swinging back and forth with the weight of regret.
What's right? What's wrong?
Icicled barbs laden with emotion,
Melt with time, rivulets of moisture
Scar soul's façade
From hot coals of pain held 'gainst my bosom in catharsis!
Heaven is silent!
Hell has no room!
I am bereft of destination!
I am become the used up pebble tossed away into the pond.
I sink...but in my wake,
I reach for you!!
PEACE

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
