My free-verse response to Brian’s prompt, “back to basics.” It also uses today’s Dictionary.com Word of the Day, tenebrific.
I'm afraid of the future. Every day seems more tenebrific, Potentially terrifying, not terrific Drought and shortages, Heartbreak not far away Later will this be sufficient? I profoundly feel deficient, How much of what there is can stay? But I have enough: Food, water (coffee), Physical and mental shelter And even Love and Hope For today.
Side note: The word “tenebrific” reminded me of the Holy Week liturgy called Tenebrae, plus the word “terrific!” 😀

Gratitude for having the basics does help with fears of the unknown future. I hope your days get less tenebrific.
