Spinning

For Magpie Tales

Spinning spinning spinning

i sway to the fierce music

witness the not guilty

look for the mossy soul that weeps

dancing not for praise

but for disappearing

with no woe and a glint in my eye

i dance for going

to enter the light 

to seek the hushed place

for my soul to shine

Spinning spinning spinning

For Sunday's Whirligig

Saturday Centus 141 Spinning...

 This week's Saturday Centus with Jenny Matlock is a picture prompt, first person, one hundred words exactly.

Have fun.  Enter.  Read others.

If I were in charge of this new year
I’d hold the world in my hand
Spinning and creating
As if I were God’s Vice President
In charge of changes

Spinning
I’d place rain where needed
I’d slow the rain when there’s too much
I’d make the wild plants grow for wild things
And tame plants grow for the civilized
Spinning

Spinning
I’d grow all children perfectly
Complete when they’re born
Instruction book included
With diagrams for the parents
Spinning

Spinning
I’d throw all bad things
Away
Hoping we’d learn this year
To love, to share, to live
Spinning

Spinning...
