A Gentle Touch

M.A.D. Works
Laughing Along With A Limerick

This one is the previous week’s

There once was a cat named Dutch,
Whose soft fur was pleasing to touch.
With a purr and a blink,
He’d make you think,
That cuddles were worth every such.

Poetry

The Unseen Voyage

M.A.D. Works

In the hush of twilight’s glow,
Where shadows of possibility flow,
We set our sails on whispered dreams,
Through realms where nothing’s as it seems.

Cascading reflections, light and dark,
Each wave a tale, each swell a spark,
Beneath the surface, our spirits roam,
In waters deep, we craft our home.

With the essence of a dreamer’s heart,
We navigate the unknown’s art,
A compass forged in hope and grace,
A journey boundless through time and space.

Each horizon calls, a siren’s song,
In solitude where we belong,
The unseen voyage, vast and wide,
In every heartbeat, it will abide.

So let the winds of fate be free,
For in this voyage, you and me,
We’ll chart the stars, let passions collide,
In this unseen journey, we’ll forever glide.

Poetry

Sanctuary in the Storm

M.A.D. Works

Solitude is what I need
But unable to do so,
Many people pulling me
In different directions—
What am I to do?

A whisper of silence calls,
Yet chaos fills the air,
With every voice that beckons,
I feel the weight of care.

I seek a quiet moment,
A place to catch my breath,
Where thoughts can flow like water,
Untangled, free from stress.

But in this bustling whirlwind,
I’ll find a little space,
To ground myself in stillness,
And embrace my slower pace.

For in the heart of chaos,
A spark of peace can grow,
And solitude can blossom,
In pockets, soft and slow.

So here, amidst the noise,
I’ll carve my sanctuary,
And cherish every heartbeat,
In sweet, sweet reverie.

Poetry

Embrace of Radiance

M.A.D. Works

Soft beams through the leaves,
Whispers of morning’s embrace,
Nature’s warm caress,
In the glow, all fears dissolve,
Hearts awaken to the light.

Poetry

Mind’s Journey

M.A.D. Works

I wander off in my own mind
Chasing shadows that fate has defined.
In the silence, a truth I hope to find.

Together We Rise

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM144

Your three words today are:
STAND
SHARE
SORE

In the morning light, I stand tall,
With dreams so bright, I won’t let them fall.
I share my hopes with friends so dear,
Together we rise, without any fear.

Sometimes the road can make us sore,
But we keep on walking, longing for more.
With each step we take, we learn to be brave,
In the warmth of each heart, we find what we crave.

So let us stand, hand in hand,
share our stories across this land.
Though we may face times that make us sore,
Together, we’ll shine, forever and more.
