A Little Sunshine in the Grey

On a grey day
I find a little sunshine
In some dark remnant of the past
Soon to be lost forever

On a grey day
I learn gratitude
For lessons of darkness
Which made of me a man
Who finds light
In the littlest things

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

Alien Beauty

Alien beauty
Is the most compelling
Challenging me to expand

Like discovering the harmony
In discord
Like finding the order
Underlying chaos

So that all the world
Alien and familiar
Becomes more beautiful

Verdant Corridor, Rocky Mountains, Trans Canada Highway, Near Spiral Tunnels, British Columbia, Canada

Storms ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #140

Beyond such verdant corridor
A cacophony of mayhem
Though stride I must
Into the storm
Carry with me
Vibrant life
If only as
A notion
Which in turn
Will carry me
Beyond the gathering
Commotion
