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

    No, you don’t need to. You reminded me of Becket’s play Endgame 🌷🌹

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

  3. 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!

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