My intuition’s been off-cue
Slipping on fresh stress.
It should have had a cleaner view,
Not made, but dodged, this mess.
Deep paths entangle. Hope gets through.
Some guiding pebbles show.
I’ll seek if I may hide with you.
Those demons need not know.
Written for dVerse Quadrille #20 using the prompt “cue”.

So much better with pebbles than with cookie crumbs… love the end..

I like the way you twist the idea of hide and seek into something else entirely.

How true, Frank, sometimes intuition can be off-cue. I like the idea of guiding pebbles, as in Hansel and Gretel, and those final lines:
‘I’ll seek if I may hide with you.
Those demons need not know.’

Fresh stress. Yup, I’m all too familiar with that! It’s easier, though, if you can hide and seek wroth someone else!

I love this Frank, when we allow ourselves to come out of alignment with our higher selves our intuition is ‘off-cue’. ‘Hope gets through. Some guiding pebbles show.’ is so true, there is always something or someone there to guide us back. Beautifully written :o)

Love the journey aspect here…off cue, off centre, lost, entangled…but hope, guiding pebbles and maybe a haven from the demons a while.

Thanks, Paul. I felt more off-cue myself when I was writing that. It is always nice to have a haven especially with others to share it with.

Sometimes I find that writing brings me back to centre more often than not.
