To switch off the world around me

And the trouble that ensues

Hear the echo in my ears

Like that within a shell

I am the epitome of peace

As I breathe in through my nose

Hold me breath for two

And then breathe out for five

Though chaos all around me

I focus on the now

The epitome of peace

The quiet of calm

Eyes closed within the quiet

The quiet of my mind

Just a moment to be calm

Despite the noise outside

The world can wait a minute

For me to take a breath

Restore the gentle rhythm

Of the simple ebb and flow

The echo in my ears

The peace within the silence

The headphones play nothing

They simply block the noise

The sun upon my face

The wind upon my cheek

They leave me alone this way

They leave me to my peace

The look of pure relief

I finally get my moment

To feel the weight upon my shoulders

Have it fall off of me

The moment of serenity

To see all that I have carried

To look up to my Father

To take the yoke from me

For His yoke is easy

And His burden's light

To find relief in the Father

Is how you find true life

I'm just seeing this now, I'm sorry @avant-garde you write beautiful, powerful poetry. Thank you for participating.

Something a little different from me

The beat
I feel it in my chest
A stark contrast
To the beat of my heart
The echo of a song within
A resonance
That answers my own
Goosebumps

Awakening feeling
As tears spill free
And grief loosens its grip
I find you there
In the quiet pauses of the song
Not gone, not forgotten
But with me still
A vibration
A promise
Of love that transcends.

Hi everyone, here's our weekly writing prompt. 

@avant-garde @MissGremlin @Jynx @Ruby26 @Penguincat @Shaz51 @AuntGlow 

[avant-garde]

The equilateral triangle

To signify a warning

Three sides equal length

Each with equal angles

Each angle should be sixty

Otherwise it's something different

Each of the three angles

Should equal 180

Yellow is the colour

With a thick black border

A medium transparency

And it's rounded corners

The place holder for the image

Before it has been processed

Kind of like a waiting sign

Teaching us each patience

I wonder why they chose it

As the unmoderated icon

A simple yellow triangle

Maybe a caution sign?

What other signs are yellow? 

What other signs are triangles? 

Why did they pick triangles?

Why not circles or squares? 

A stop sign is a hexagon

School zones have rectangles

Warning I think it's triangles

And circles? Have their place

But this lonely triangle

Alone with no friends

Soon it will disappear

When the image is approved

@NightFury @MissGremlin 

I will do the actual prompt tomorrow, but I thought I'd have done fun first

way to go @avant-garde , @NightFury 😎

I love how you've written about the image thingy that comes up before an image has been approved @avant-garde

Bahaha oh thanks for the chuckle @avant-garde!! I am now wondering if there's reasoning behind the shapes used for different signage!! Might be a wikipedia deep dive later lol 😂
