New Challenge: Epic 80s
This month's challenge features hundreds of fresh prompts from the bodacious decade of the 1980s.
Close your eyes,
And drink deep the gathering silence,
The warmth of times past,
And tell me,
With lips unsealed by doom,
If I have ever left you.
Open your heavy eyes,
And gaze upon the broad face of the world,
Radiant in all her splendor like a burning star,
And tell me,
With heart unbound by hope,
If I’ve ever left you.
Breathe in the breath of angels,
And taste the fresh freedom peace holds,
Softer than the opulent silks or satin you store,
And tell me,
With spirit lifted with love,
That I am always with you,
And you are with me.
