RDP Soup: A poem with all of last week’s words!

. . .

I used to pride myself on my courage
but somewhere in the debris of my youth,
among naïve debacles, simple freshments,
beyond hills of sunny memories
that stretch on for infinity,
in a bed of excelsior
lies covert
the words I never said to you.

My Entry for Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt #314

. . .

In this glass box, the air is cool, crisp, unmoving. It sits on my skin with the fragility of a butterfly wing. The light on my feet dances with the ocean below. It turns from pink to gold, white to violet, sketching and re-sketching patterns in a blink. There is no one in this glass box besides my reflection and I. We listen for a message in the crashing waves—perhaps a whisper of hope, or a shout of courage. We sit still, above a world in perpetual motion. There is a strange comfort in the clockwork of the sun.
