A Written Response

Prompts for today were to:

Create using direction-

East by West

From humble beginnings
I learned a way of life
Much different than you
A slower pace to my day
Respect for others
An appreciation for grammar
An understanding of manners
An acceptance of the toil
That leads us to success
The eastern shore runs
Through my bloodlines
The winds of time
Carried me to the Pacific
A new world
A new life
A new beginning
With ethics engrained
A world without pause
A sense of self over community
Now an anomaly
For a “traditional” mindset
Enjoying an alternate ending
After such a trying start

And Release-

The most beautiful of 

Them all

Yours was a power

Without parallel,

The most trusted

Advisor and contemporary.

The world beneath 

Your feet,

As you soared high

On an Angel's wings.

Created for the sole purpose

Of betrayal and belligerence.

Released from your lofty height

Morningstar cast down to 

Assume a new role,

The Devil of desire

Your undoing.
