It came as a shock
In the blur of a moment
So much could be lost
In the blur of a moment
So much could be lost

Untaken ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #223
For the artist
Every photograph untaken
Every brush stroke unpainted
Every stanza unwritten
Every story untold
A small darkness left unilluminated
Asymmetrical Balance
Sometimes
No, often
It is in asymmetry
That I find balance
And beauty
No, often
It is in asymmetry
That I find balance
And beauty
Mass ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #221
Heavier even than Earth
Yet I soar
A majestic dirigible
Yet I soar
A majestic dirigible
Laden with history
And regrets
Lofted by hope
And purpose
Levied by love
And compassion
Most days I carry the weight
Lightly, aloft
Some days I cannot leave the berth
Tethered, grounded
So I touch the Earth
Am grateful for its stability
That I always have a place to land
Rest, and free myself of burdens
Then breathe deeply
Filled and empty
I take to the skies again
When the Rains Come
As the tears dry
I remind myself
Even deserts know the rain
I remind myself
Even deserts know the rain
Blur ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #211
We are but a blur
You and I
A collection of possibilities
Missed opportunities
Layered over time
An inkling of a beauty
Unrealized
Untested
Unknowable
You and I
A collection of possibilities
Missed opportunities
Layered over time
An inkling of a beauty
Unrealized
Untested
Unknowable
Yet between us
Always
Undeniable light
Exquisitely tragic love
Wheelhouse ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #210
Not in my wheelhouse
Just a bit out of control
But full steam ahead
Just a bit out of control
But full steam ahead
Cracks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #205
I only noticed the cracks in my armour
As the blow came down
As the blow came down
Beaten
Vulnerable
I rose, vowing not to be struck again
Opting for the only defense remaining
Offense
Such Worlds as This
I listen
To those who tell me
How the world is
How the world is as it is
To those who tell me
How the world is
How the world is as it is
How disturbingly dark and broken
Some of these worlds are
How maliciously cruel
And though I know such worlds exist
In their hearts and in their deeds
I know I have never set foot in such a world
Valley of Lassitude
From the valley floor
Yearn for the peaks
And high mountain passes
Yearn for the peaks
And high mountain passes
Though the paths I see
Attain neither peak nor pass
Trapped in this valley of lassitude
