As I stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing out at the vast expanse of the ocean before me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe wash over me. The horizon seemed endless, stretching out as far as the eye could see. It was as if the ocean and the sky were merging into one, creating a breathtakingly beautiful canvas.

I had always been drawn to the sea. There was something about its power and unpredictability that fascinated me. And yet, as I stood there, I couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance. The length of the horizon seemed to put everything into perspective. My problems and worries felt small and trivial compared to the vastness of the world around me.

It was in moments like this that I found myself starstruck by the beauty of the world. I would lose myself in the moment, forgetting all my troubles and simply basking in the wonder of it all. It was as if the stars themselves had aligned just for me, and I was fortunate enough to witness their brilliance.

But as much as I loved these moments of pure bliss, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. It was as if the beauty of the world was too much for me to handle, and I was left feeling overwhelmed and insignificant. It was a humbling experience and one that forced me to confront my own mortality.

As I stood there, lost in thought, I realized that it wasn't the length of the horizon or the stars that were truly awe-inspiring. It was the fact that they existed at all. The fact that the world was full of wonder and beauty, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, was what truly mattered.

And so, as I turned to leave the cliff, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that there would be many more moments of feeling small and insignificant, but I also knew that there would be moments of pure joy and wonder. And in those moments, I would be reminded of just how lucky I was to be alive and to be a part of this incredible world.

Dancer's Flight

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm. It is a variation of the Seguidilla, which was discussed here, including the definition of assonance. The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite. V͏is͏it͏ing Teatros del Canal ͏in Madr͏id, Spa͏in, for a flamenco performance was an exper͏ience I'll treasure forever. As I entered the elegant theater, th

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
