Farewell Writer's Island

The Week #25 prompt for 2011 is “VISION OF THE FUTURE”.
This is the week we all sail off to new adventures, and the last week that Writer’s Island will be open and offering writing prompts — at least in the foreseeable future.
The island has been offering prompts since 2007.
From Rob Kistner: Pardon my sentimentalism, but I have included a piece of art I created quite a number of years ago for my daughter, whose 39th birthday is next week. It was inspired by a photo taken of her and I in 1979, when she was 7.
It is entitled: “A Father’s Love” which is filled with dreams of the future.

Poetry Pantry #56
~

Snippets of wildflowers
Precious life in barren earth
We see your beauty
Now

For too long
We lost the real colours of living
Robots
Warped and charged with electric threads

For too long
We lived
A screened life

And now
Fresh worlds are the feasts of kings and queens
Kings and queens of our own lives
Content to welcome sunlight
And cast shadows with our children

Writer's Island prompt #6 for 2011 ~ Beguile

{{{Just a thin stranger
Playing his soul through music
Charming diversion

In a late moment
Lost smiling dancing rhythms
Remembered to pulse}}}

I wish I'd said hello

Today
A shimmering
Pale Sunday afternoon
You were walking the winding path
By the sea
Alone

Your slimness
(Almost frail
But immaculate as always)
Failed to cast much of a shadow

You seemed lost
In your world of loneness

I wish I'd said hello

But all I could feel was
The dialogue of
Your music
Your whispering spirit
As it was
On another
Pale afternoon

The beguile of that yesterday
Shone
Like an aura
A harmony of spheres

So somehow
Words
Now
Seemed
Misplaced
Like discord

Still
I wish
The ice of
Awkward shyness
Melted and...

I wish I'd said hello
