'Do not go #gentle into-'
Stop. This behaviour won't be tolerated. I'm just doing my job. I've been sworn at, kicked, called names. I'm looking forward to the day there's self-service checkouts. Do go gently!
'Death?'
'Yes.'
'Should've done the speech earlier.'
'Yup.'

Chad lurched forward. Lacking any ability to be #gentle he tugged at the chrysalis and it fell with a thud. Gasps filled the room. Then something inside the pulsating cocoon lurched and someone dropped a glass.
'What did you do.'
'Ur?'
'That wasn't gentle!'

We crave this - to be dealt with delicately; to feel the tender touch of a partner's fingertips lightly caressing your cheek with love and care.

Today's prompt: Gentle

Be gentle with one another.

It’s the #weekend ! Happy #friday . Now that was my attempt to sandwich in a few hashtags for #beezyandgrim , well just #grim here really. But still, here’s a late #webcomic with the #grim reaper sans #beelzebub .

Um… #comicstrip #comicart #illustration #dailycomic

Rose lay awake, staring at the grey starless sky. A million thoughts rushing through her head, a million questions without answers. She wondered, without her memories, was she in a #chrysalis state?

How long would she have wait to be a butterfly?

TO MY DAUGHTER

I speak to pierce
the silken shroud
of your #chrysalis
& say how proud
I am of you

I know it's muffled
and dark in there,
crowded with growing
wings and messy hair

But I'll be staying near
till you break through,
reminding of the love
I have for you

'I'm #hopeless , useless, & a pathetic human. People care so little about my existence that they don't even tolerate me.'

I have said these words or similar so effectively to myself that they haunt me constantly.

Positivity is more common yet it just breezes by. #vss365

I built this #chrysalis with post-its:
an unusual material, to be sure,
but my renewal must come from
completed to-do lists,
persistent productivity.

I will emerge with consistent attention,
ready to fly, to think, to surge forward
on wings of paper and ink.

#vss365

And
The journey continues
To sprinkle hope
Every time I see you
Unfolding from
The edges of life,
And culminating in
Breaking the unyielding
Chrysalis to emerge
With the colours
Of celebration and joy

Reading of Walls
She was always driven, and I knew our love was but a pitstop on her grand passage along the highway to divination.

Before I could stop her, she removed the hazmat suit in the humid, particle-laden air of the…

“How did you meet dad?”

“It’s crazy, but I was swimming and got in his fishing net.”

“That’s funny.”

“It is, now bedtime.”

“You left out a minor detail,” her husband said, kissing her.

“One day,” she said, as she sank into a salty tub, her tail falling over the side. #vsspic

BEAMED ABOARD 2Blue from her rocky #chrysalis , Lal rearranges the cargo hold to her liking, finds a warm cape, and demands a brace of rock giants for breakfast. Told the replicator balked at her order, she washes down vegetarian fare with mead and Fanta Orange. #vss365

He felt the raging chrysalis around him. Was it her? Was it him? Perhaps it was both of them. Who was he to question the mind of the multiverse.
