Between stone and the living
I would never bet
On life not winning
Though life seems so
Ephemeral
While stone seems so
Well, eternal
Life finds a way
Life renews decay
Life gives birth
Then dies, with legacy
While stone erodes
Stone cracks and shatters
Stone turns to sand
And then to dust, that matters
Borne on the wind
Of time and mem’ry
Stone’s legacy becomes
The soil which feeds me

Each week I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as points of inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.
To participate:
- Use any title you like
- Your response can be words and/or an image
- Better if the words are your own
- You may use my image in your post, or any image you have created
- Place the challenge’s Pic (if you use it for inspiration) and Word prominently in your post
- Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
- Add a link to this post in your response
To help us find your response, you can also:
- Add a comment on this post to announce your response
- Apply the tag “Pic and a Word Challenge” to your post
Each week, I’ll list the previous week’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.
Last week connected… This week, let”s go for the long haul!
