Vessels Beckon

Vessels beckon

     Come aboard
     Set sail
     Horizons calling
     To journey beyond

I build castles on the beach
Realizing my dreams
Adventures unfolding
One bucket of sand at a time

While the boats
Tug gently at the lanyards
I’ve tied firmly to the shore

MacDonnell Ranges Ghost Gums

Twisted
Gnarled

Rock and bough

Resilient
Adaptive

Outback
Beauty

Three ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #141

Just the three of us
Spirit, mind and body
On a journey through
Space, time and possibility

Revealing the Wall

When you pulled the ground
Out from under me
Why were you surprised
It left a wall you could not climb

Time and Love

Time and love
They’ve etched your lines
Deep into me

Picasso, Daley Plaza, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America

Picasso in Chicago

In a square
Of ramrod straight
Reaching for the sky
A cross high in the heavens
The people gather
In respite
For lunch and chatter
For solitude of thought
Beneath a steely gaze
Realized by mind
Unenamoured of the box
And so dwelt well outside it

Cadillac Ranch, Route 66, Amarillo, Texas, United States of America

Curves

The twists and turns
Of highway curves
Carry me
So far from here

No matter
All the miles
I’ll go

The turn for home
Eventually comes

Curves twist back upon themselves

Built for Speed, Corvette Stingray, The Glancy Motor Hotel, Route 66, Clinton, Oklahoma, United States of America

Speed ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #138

Odes to a different time

Built for speed
Lived at a Main Street pace

The paradox
Of a mechanical world
As seen from this virtual realm

Because here am I
Everywhere at once

Yet nowhere at all

Railway Sunset, Route 66, Mojave Desert, California, United States of America

The Long Straight and Narrow

Some roads are a joyride
Some roads are a roadtrip
Some roads are a journey

And some roads are the long haul
Running straight and narrow
Ending somewhere beyond the horizon

Roll onto one of these
And I’ve made a commitment
Right to the end of the line

Ancient Selfie, Aboriginal Art, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia copy

Selfie ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #137

With an economy
Of line and form
We learned to tell
Our living story

Upon the wall
Of ancient cave
A blogger posts
An early selfie
