Tuesday Writings -Luminance

Prompts this week: luminance, essential, capacity

His luminance is here for all to see

If they but look

He is kind sweet and loving

Has a sense of humour

That makes me laugh

He cares deeply for his children

He loves and looks after me

With tender loving care

I need him

More than he’ll ever know

Sometimes I just listen to him breathe

At night and know I am safe

For his capacity to encompass me

He is essential for my well being

For his love makes me

Happy and whole

Able to face anything

Prompts: geology, oceanography, gaffe

The earth is our home

To keep their home safe
