Amber gold
Sun wraps the day
In magic hues
A gift to put away
In darkest places
And there stay wrapped
‘Til morning comes

End of Day
The sun’s come ’round
To end the day
Light conceding
Night repealing
To end the day
Light conceding
Night repealing
In the darkness
That’s to come
A world revealed
Which can’t be viewed
It’s heard
And touched
It’s smells ignored
When eyes can see
One mile at a time
Anchored to my desk
And the responsibilities required
To live another 10,000 days
And the responsibilities required
To live another 10,000 days
I long for the road
And its gift of living
One mile at a time
Through the Backcountry
A gentle road
Through the backcountry
Of unexplored territory
Brings me tranquility
And inexpressible pleasure
Through the backcountry
Of unexplored territory
Brings me tranquility
And inexpressible pleasure
Channel ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #59
Sometimes
The circumstances of existence
Confine my course
Constrict my flow
I become turbulent
Tear at the channel
Jump its banks
Flood, destructively
Without direction
The circumstances of existence
Confine my course
Constrict my flow
I become turbulent
Tear at the channel
Jump its banks
Flood, destructively
Without direction
Sudden Redirection
The road may go
Forever, on and on
But, sometimes
I really need to be
Paying attention
If I want to stay on it
Forever, on and on
But, sometimes
I really need to be
Paying attention
If I want to stay on it
The Singing Land
In this land
Of endless grass
And rolling hills
With scattered trees
And clinging brush
Of endless grass
And rolling hills
With scattered trees
And clinging brush
We roll on through
With singing tires
On bitumen
Both dreaming of
This singing land
Dive Markers
They dive below
A place called
Sea to Sky
Explore a world
Few eyes will see
Hidden
Underneath
A land of
10,000 photographs

Leaving Flat
I have never lived for long
In land wide open to the sky
A world full lit, naught for shadow
No nook or cranny to explore
In land wide open to the sky
A world full lit, naught for shadow
No nook or cranny to explore
I prefer the rise and fall
The twist and turn
Cliche they are
But how I learn
Idling in Idyll
Idling in idyll
A picture of
The picturesque
Peace comes easy
In this peaceful place
Where I sit for a while
In my thoughtless thoughts
Then move along, go pedalling
Climb up, glide down
Pedal’s cadence
The only rhyme
I need
To soothe
My mind
