Five Minute Friday
Most Fridays, I join an online Christian writing community, Five Minute Friday. We are given a one-word prompt and write – unscripted, unedited, pure free-write – for 5 minutes. Five Minute Friday is a great place to hone my writing practice and be encouraged by other writers as I write. I will set the timer for five minutes and then write. Here we go! I am excited to invite you in, welcome.
Today after a long time of word loss a poem has emerged like a sigh.

Are there words enough to cover
The beauty of a whole life?
Is there a way to live and love
Under the cover of grief and loss?When you cover me in sunshine
Do I get relief and delight?
I remember a time I did before
Maybe I will again today
turn my face to the sunA face can only express so much
But then it could also express it all
What will I use to cover up
My tear stained face?
Maybe I don't have to cover upUnder cover searching for clues
The clues I looked for were simple
Yet the complication of their discovery
Keeps them in the recesses of a broken heart
and yet beauty found me anywayI will hope against all fear
I will trust again in that cover of Love
I will not be left exposed to the elements
I will not be forgotten by beauty
I am under the cover of Grace
