{Denise gracefully hosts Six Sentence Stories, where writers unleash their magic under one simple rule: in no more or no less than 6 sentences.
This week’s prompt word is : BAND }
SCARS
Suspended mid-air…flip of a cosmic coin…few centimeters to the left or a second later…exploding fractures, thresholds awaiting
Hold me…neither angels nor demons will have me…crash and burn
Scar running down like the yearning of a river
A hair band by the sink, a tear on the brink, a smile hidden deep in a drop of ink
Time…irrelevant…oh, the tear & the smile we will share when the battle is over
“Music is the fabric that clothes our lives”from somewhere in GirlieOnTheEdge, said the sigh of the ocean wave…always has, always will.

That’s a powerful hymn to healing, dear Nick. Your words soothe.
Nicely teamed up with the spiritual poem and music video too! Thank goodness for music, ay?
Just wow to this line:
“A hair band by the sink, a tear on the brink, a smile hidden deep in a drop of ink”
Just wow.

We had a kind of synchronicity with our Sixs…as you said with the wave.

Your Six? Outstanding poetic prose.
And, thank you for introducing me to Asaf Avidan!
And yep, your poetic prose definitely shares a link with Khalil Gibran, I got that before I saw the link.
Write on!
