quick writing prompt inspired by Stevie Nicks and the darkness

Rhiannon has been all around me. I keep hearing it. On the radio. In cafes. In cars.
I am forever transfixed by the line: And then she is the darkness.
Are you the darkness sometimes?
Are all women able to get inside of their darkness and find power?
Yo, I am the darkness in this season of my life.
What if you drew a timeline of your life thus far on some long paper, do you think you could circle the light and dark years?
I think we all cycle through these and they last about 4-5 years.
I just made that up.
But what if it were true.

Quick— do a prompt:

Write out the lyrics to Rhiannon. Circle 7 words.
Write about a dark night of your soul time and include those 7 words.
Share them in the comments for a chance to win a print mailed to you! <3

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind

bbs. Just keep writing.
