This is in response to Esther’s Weekly Word Prompt.
This week’s prompt is: Games
***
Now That
Now that there is silence
Do I need words
Do I need birdsongs
Do I need the pause
Now that the games are over
Do I need the pawns
Do I need the noise
Do I need the cons
Now that peace resides
Do I need the chaos
Do I need the twists
Do I need a choice
Now that the path is clear
Do I need a bend
Do I need a fork
Do I need the spin
Now that the tale’s told
Do I need it to end

Beautiful lines, GC.
Feels like a heart resting after a long journey.
When calm arrives, many things simply stop feeling necessary.

Or you may say you wonder whether what you lost is still desired or required. Habits die hard.

Very true.
Habits are like guests who stay even after the party is over.
Peace arrives, but old routines still sit down and act like they own the place. 😂😀
Cannot help!

“Such a beautiful reflection,
Now that the games are done.
Peace shows what truly matters,
And what was never needed at all.”
