Welcome back! Here’s your Saturday post!

There has been a lot of heavy furniture moving

In my house of late

The same room becomes brand new
Using old things in new places
Redeeming time by redeeming space
Air flow
Light flow
House to home

There has been a lot of heavy furniture moving

Sore muscles speak
The pain of change
Appreciated exhaustion
Stubbed toes and bruises
And admissions
Of being weak
Broken
Valueless
There has been a lot of heavy furniture moving
Changing minds
Keeping paradigms
Live that may or may not matter
Lies turned into truths
Truths strengthened by facts
Dead things come to life
And living things begin to die
There has been a lot of heavy furniture moving
Lexicon evolutions
Old markers moved
Justice for more
Still not for all
Love cause political
Politics cause love
There has been a lot of furniture moving

I submitted another piece for the AWwYP “Again” writing contest. Please read it and comment! I wrote my submission from the perspective of stream-of-consciousness breaking the fourth wall. I did it to be corny, shocking, and to let me hubby know I was thinking about him, but according to the responses I received, I was a bit more honest than I meant to be about what I feel about making the money vs. making the art. Sometimes the facade holds, but “truth melts magic, always.” 

With words, song & prayer,
TiMo

Onward Looking
