Heat ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #23

From deep in the Earth
Driven by heat
Water bubbles up
Carrying the stuff of Earth

Depositing, Depositing, Depositing
On mounds and terraces
The beautiful stuff of Earth
Cools, solidifies, colours

I become attached
To what was
Replay it
Over and over

Wishing it
Each time
To be

Different

She flitters
Carrying thimblefuls
To the flames

Like a dancer
In a deadly waltz
With blackness

I seek the road
Which takes me higher
Up to where the magic lives

And there take in
All that is
Spread out into infinity

I love the way
A daylight moon
Reminds me

There are stars
Beyond blue sky
Uncountable stars

And planets circling
Most of them, and
Some with moons like ours

I stand still
Losing my balance
As the world falls away
Beneath my feet

Eroding, eroding, eroding
All which had supported me
Until I am perched
On a pinnacle

I love a city
Which allows itself
To seem small

So that its setting
In all its glory
Becomes the tale

There are places
I like to go
When the world seems
A little grey

Places where
I always find
The colour
I’ve been missing

Dusk descends
Hard and fast
Like the rain

Clouds
And mountains
Mingle

In a waning light
The camera records
As a monochrome

When I realized
No conflict
Could be resolved
Either by winning
Or capitulation
I began to understand
The true nature of conflict

The interplay
Of force
And resistance
