Reset: Next!

The year
Grew darker
Every day

Grim hope
Bleak finale

Reset: next!

Bridges ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #168

We build a bridge
To cross the gap
Or tear it down
No going back

Below the deck
A roiling rift
Divides our world
Apart, we drift

But let us take
A moment, slow
To contemplate
Terrain below

I’m sure we’ll find
On valley floor
Our common ground
Then peace restored

Chasm

Roar of the river
My own deafening fury
Churning water cuts a chasm
Seething anger rends my spirit

Standing on the ledge
Letting rage flow away
Wounds upon my soul
Close and begin to heal

Into the Chasm, Athabasca Falls, Athabasca River, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Power

I stand beside the chasm’s tumult
Powerless to end the flood
Or even mitigate the flow

Spectator at the edge
Close enough to feel the spray

Of power’s fearsome rush

Grateful

Some moments seem forged
As a reminder to be
Grateful for it all

Valley Glow

In light too slight
For human eye
I setup lens
With hope intent
Rack focus to eternity

Allow the night
To enter frame
Count out seconds
Three by ten
Capturing
These timely glows

One from headlight’s driven thrust
Unfurls along the river’s edge
Another rises up
To meet the clouds
Escape from streets
Illuminate

Vibrant Greys, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Texture ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #166

All the many greys
Timbres in a spectrum visual

Monochromatic textures
In untouchable dimensions

Which I nonetheless
Touch

Reign of Tears

Tears reign
Glittering
From the cheeks
Of multitudes

Driven to despair
By the shepherds
Of fear

Reeking of the violence
Wrought by anger

And the platitudes of righteousness

Steps ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #165

Sometimes the light
     Seems very far
And the way
     So dark and perilous
And the path
     Occluded mystery

I remind myself
     Just take a step
I remember
     Where every journey begins
I find my courage
     In the many paths already taken

I’ve held the light
     before
I’ve made my way
     before
I’ve found the path
     before

I will hold the light
again

An Unmoving Frame

I began to notice
With fascination
Placing a moving object
Near the center of the frame
Tended to convince my mind’s eye
The object was no longer moving
