The Creation Saturday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
Who hears you when you scream?

Nightmares

Who hears you scream
in the middle of the night
when arachnophobiac terrors
wake you with a fright?

Who hears you scream
in the darkness of deep space
when your spacesuit's umbilical cord
is severed at its base?

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1088
The prompt for today is write your first sentence as your desired epitaph. Then go through the process of telling why this is the message you want on your gravestone. What does it mean to you? Does it relate to some memory or experience you had in your life?

Epitaph

Do not shed sad tears for me
My soul does not lay in this grave:
Be Happy!

In The Hidden Words Baha'u'llah says: "O Son of the Supreme! I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom?"1 I know that some people will cry at my memorial service because it is the natural for people to cry when they are either sad or happy. I don't mind the tears as long as they know that I don't believe the death of my body means the death of my spirit. When the body and spirit/soul separate at death the body begins to decompose eventually returning to dust. The soul ascends into the spiritual world where it will have to give an account for the deeds it performed in life. The soul will also meet those loved ones who have gone before them.

The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 1570
Write a nursery rhyme?

Nursery Rhyme

Sing a song of unity
A song for all humanity
Walking together in harmony
Across the face of Earth.
