A Moment In The Wasteland

Image  found  here 

What made her smile what made her day .

What did she see where there was  only waste and dismay.

This Queen of refugees

What took her mind and made her pleased.

A friend, a lover that she had thought she’d lost?

A child even, wars demand such a high cost.

Something in this veil of tears

Relieved her pain and soothed her fears .

From the depths of deep despair

She found something, someone for whom she cared.

A sudden joy crossed her face

A smile exploded spreading a fall out of pure grace .

What did she see what was her gift from God

That lit up this wasteland where starving refugees trod.

That is something we shall never know

 I thank God that she had that moments glow.

Such regal beauty in her face ,

May she fair well in God’s good grace.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Feb. 16/19 Yawn

Well ten minutes ago I had a brilliant idea for #SoCs. Then I got distracted by some some beautiful posts in my reader and here I am clueless as to what this world changing post was about!pro

Well it most definitely was something to do with a yawn. How do I remember that. Easy because this week Linda G.Hill said : ” Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “yawn.” Write about the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the word “yawn,” when you sit down to write your post. Enjoy!”

Now our Ruby yawns a lot, she yawns if she feels someone or something is invading her space, or if she is confused or bored and of course she yawns if she is tired.

Us humans yawn when tired, stressed or lacking oxygen. have you ever yawned and felt your jaw lock… oh my that can be so painful! Also if one person in a room yawns it is very  catching and everyone in  the room yawns. Now as you can see I am rambling on here and it is no doubt very boring. Very much unlike the wonderful post I was going to write had it escaped my brain and vanished into the either never to be seen again.

To save further embarrassment I have  added s to Yawn and  written an Acrostic Tanka.

Yawn

Yes we have to yawn

All of us as soon as born

Will know how to yawn

No one is exempt no one

So cover your mouth and yawn.
