The Void Echoes Between US

    Five Minute Friday: Void-a poem

    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. It also allows me to 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.


    The Void Echoes Between Us


    My mother and I spoke on the phone
    For years it was “Hi” and "Adios"
    As our souls leaned closer yet
    We lingered in laughter
    Stories of the kids
    She loved to hear
    Phone in hand
    Void wide
    Silence

    In this space I explore other forms of writing and today I lingered in a poem in a nonet structure. It pierced my heart in many ways and gave just the words I needed to process this tiny moment of grief that monumentally undid me.

    Gracefully,
