Sunshine Challenge Day One

Three offerings

1. Moodboard



2. Sonnet

a honey-coloured stone which catches light
and more and holds it fast through peace and strife
of ages; earth to rock made precious, bright
a golden-brown receptacle of life

the tears of Viking goddess Freyja wept
good luck for those born under bullish stars
a resting place, departed souls are kept
preserved in that which cradles as it scars

a resin and a sap, a talisman
to guard, for courage and for confidence
of cleansing and of healing, partisan
as symbol of renewal and defense

a worry stone rubbed smooth, a lucky charm
a bier to shield the bearer against harm
