Pour Me a Potion
Potion: Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 16
Please pour me a potion…
One that revives my world weary soul
That slows tears, slakes thirst, soothes tensions
Impossible as it seems, I cling to the notion
Of refreshment, rejuvenation, relief
Not just a potion… a New Life!
*
Hold that thought!
*
New Life
Everything I wish for…
Where oh where can I go to escape strife?
Life overflowing in abundance
Impossibility
Fulfilled
Eternal and everlasting!
*
Better than any Potion…
Superior, satisfying, secure
I want need a new life!
How can I gain one, be sure?
*
Good News!
*
“Jesus answered,
I am
the Way
and the Truth
and the Life…
I have come
that they may have life,
and have it to the full.”
(John 14:6, 10:10)

This is so beautiful, Angie! "Better than any Potion…Superior, satisfying, secure" There's only one that truly saves!
FANTASTIC! I love how you wove this from lacking hope, to defining need, to the ultimate cure. Wonderful work here!
Soooo good! I'm a sucker for a good acrostic, and this was a great one. Mixed with other stylings made for a relatable and compelling read! Great work Angie!
Lovely story, Angie! A new life, just what the doctor ordered.
Nice!!! Magic always intrigues me. And loved the way you ended it with Jesus entering into the picture. Enjoyed! 🤩
