A Moment in Time
I was there in that moment
Right place - Wrong time
Another's life saved
Though I lost mine
Wrong place - Right time
Same moment defined
Resurrected perception
From those left behind
Each version holds truth
Both values equate
I gave life … love
And outlived … hate

The Above I wrote this morning as I contemplated the writing prompt from “Stories from the Jukebox” by MJ Polk. This will be my submission for week #22.
There will be a link to his Substack and the writing prompt at the bottom of this posting. Go check it out and all the great writers and artists submissions to various prompts. Not only are they a great read; they foster creativity and community.
I was humbled and honored to be featured in week #21, with my submission “Mirror” that you can find by the title here on- One Soul`s Journey.
The following poem I wrote and posted as a note yesterday. I want to include it here for all to give it a concrete place and not be lost in the algorithm of Notes.

“Today”
Today I live
On purpose
Not in search of
Not in spite of
Not because of
Today I live
Today
On purpose

Nice, Debra.
Wow, Debra--a terrific side-project (? hobby?) that brings out a different side of your writing talent. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try finding more on "Stories from the Jukebox" by MJ Polk.
