Cape Hope ~ Sunday Whirl

https://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/2026/01/25/wordle-741/

🌞⛪🌞

We were wonderland-bound

a place called Cape Hope…

each of us desperately needed

hopeclarity, peace, direction

a future that offered more

than we’d experienced last year…

when we arrived noonday sun

was blindingly bright, glittering

on every inch of packed snow, ice–

we passed three churches

before seeing the one we’d chosen

by way of same dream we’d

had in past month–

it was hardly more than a chapel

yet the Cross in the window

above the altar embraced

entire interior, the mosaic

fairly vibrating with colors…

we were on our knees

heads bowed, mute tears

coursing down our cheeks–

Everything will be alright…

these were words we heard

from the Voice within silence…

Sovereign God of grace, mercies

ever-faithful throughout the ages…

His hand was turning the wheel–

The Letter…

I’ve combined Di’s 3TC (three things challenge) with Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt, “Letter” ~ their links are at end of poem.

Di’s prompt words are:  Youth, Yesterday, Yonder

💘💌💘

Since youth, her heart

had penned this letter…

living cossetted

in imaginary world

she possessed no skills

for reality’s requirements–

At 30 she remained

naive…lacking good

sense she followed

her heart instead

of guarding it

and thus set her course

certain that with yesterdays

long passed, “he” would

receive her with love equal

to hers, and make invitation…

But his kind reply did not–

Yonder, all dreams fled

out of reach forever–

~ Cale

Last Dream, Last Dance

Not sure I made the deadline, but I couldn’t resist #6:

https://thesoundofonehandtyping.com/2026/01/13/this-weeks-writers-workshop-prompts-january-13-2026/

Here are this week’s prompts:

  1. Write a post inspired by the word theory.
  2. Write a post in exactly sixteen (16) sentences.
  3. Write a story where a unique vessel takes you somewhere you’ve never before been.
  4. What do you wish you had more talent doing?
  5. When you’re by yourself, what do you usually think about?
  6. What was the last dream you can remember about?

😴💃The last dream I had was that I was dancing with Brad Pitt, which is beyond ridiculous:  I never even liked him, and I seriously cannot dance….and I’m way too old, or he’s way too young.

But it was a nice enough change from the usual deluge of nightmares🙄 Cale
