Nothing else quite turns a grey, wet day
Sunny and bright
Like the company of family and friends
During an activity of shared pleasure

A time of battlements and bulwarks
I set myself
In bygone time
Fantasize
On maidens fair
And fair white knights
In bygone time
Fantasize
On maidens fair
And fair white knights
This castle’s lords
Then I rethink
Erected stone
To stay the will of men
So it began…
So it began
Some billions of years ago
In pools such as these
On the shores of a boiling sea
Some billions of years ago
In pools such as these
On the shores of a boiling sea
From the humblest beginnings
A miracle still
Such simple creatures
Would become the miracle, me
Frontiers ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #10
Sometimes I step into a place
So expansive
It fills me up
So expansive
It fills me up
I see my own boundaries
Are merely frontiers
To be explored
On water, two different kinds
Water falls to Earth
Carves the land
And furrows mighty canyons
Carves the land
And furrows mighty canyons
Water comes from Earth
Builds the land
Deposits micro canyons
Above the sun
We were pushing hard to make Natural Bridge before nightfall, and would have made it. At the wide, flat bottom of the valley, with this mighty precipice I stand at the top of now ahead of us, I knew we had time. Even pulling 35′ of trailer with an engine prone to overheating at altitude, there was plenty of time to make the mileage. I just needed to be steady with the climb. A few short stops along the way, letting the engine idle back to cool.
The simplest line ornate
In a culture of simplicity
Reserved and spare in style
The simplest line
Or gesture slight
To the eye must seem ornate

Juggernaut of Intricate
A juggernaut
Of intricate
Each rosette
So delicate

Some doors…
Some doors invite
Some doors challenge
Some doors bar
Some doors beg
Some doors challenge
Some doors bar
Some doors beg
Sometimes
It’s difficult to tell
Which is which
Until I try to open them
The Gas Bar
We always stopped
At the same gas bar
On the long drive up
To Grandma’s house
At the same gas bar
On the long drive up
To Grandma’s house
Ice cream, or a popsicle
An orange soda and a danish
While Gary tanked up the car
And made the windshield gleam
