In this land
Of such magnificence
Even the mighty
Know humility

A Helical Spiral of Indeterminate Tense
The sun is just a star
We chose to father us
The moon, our mother
Illuminates the night
And whispers lullabies
To soothe us
When the darkness
Frightens us
We chose to father us
The moon, our mother
Illuminates the night
And whispers lullabies
To soothe us
When the darkness
Frightens us
The Earth
Our home
Bedrock beneath
Space above
But solid ground
Spins us round
Cycles of life
Always turning
Shrouded
Sometimes
I prefer
Mystery
Envelopes me
I prefer
Mystery
Envelopes me
In this shroud
Of anonymity
I allow
The self is free
To explore
Deepest edge
Furthest field
Darkest path
So I may
Emerge again
Into light
Lit within
Stars ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #102
Aided by
Small aperture
In this starburst
Am I reminded
The sun is just a star
In blackness infinite
Speckled with
Uncounted stars
And this Earth
We sometimes believed
Like no other
Solar satellite
But now are finding
More watery rocks
Each unique
Though, really
Only to slightest degree
So I stand here
On our pretty stone
With some billions friends
No, all family
I wonder how
We divide ourselves
Such finite passing presence
What small precious number we
Who twinkle in the darkness
Each of us a star
Unto ourselves
In our tiny blip of time
We have no space
For hateful folly
Or shall we die
Utterly alone
Perhaps unknown
Pass into oblivion
In this expanse
Of possibility
Small aperture

Hurdles
With every sunset
I am reminded
There will always be
Another hurdle
And another opportunity
To clear one
I am reminded
There will always be
Another hurdle
And another opportunity
To clear one
The Sails Long Furled
In the calm
In the calm
In the gentle calm
With the sun now gone
And the colour fading
I trace the line
In reflecting mind
From a day long past
One last empty kiss
The sails long furled
On a love at rest
I trace the line
Of her long wet tear
A single note
One regretful smear
Not for promise lost
But what never was
I’d held too long
To the love she gave
Held her close
Held her heart
Knowing all too well
Love went just one way
In the calm
In the gentle calm
With the sun now gone
And the colour fading
I trace the line
In reflecting mind
From a day long past
One last empty kiss
The sails long furled
On a love at rest
I trace the line
Of her long wet tear
A single note
One regretful smear
Not for promise lost
But what never was
I’d held too long
To the love she gave
Held her close
Held her heart
Knowing all too well
Love went just one way
Infinite Grey
I’m not sure
Whether I’m alone now
Because I’m tired of getting hurt
Or I’m tired of hurting others
Somewhere I lost track
Maybe it’s both
Whether I’m alone now
Because I’m tired of getting hurt
Or I’m tired of hurting others
Somewhere I lost track
Maybe it’s both
I’m not sure
What needs to change
What needs to heal
What I need to fix
Lightworker
In the turmoil of fragmentation
As what was once whole
Fractures and atomizes
I am startled to discover
Running through the center
Of this formidable chaos
As what was once whole
Fractures and atomizes
I am startled to discover
Running through the center
Of this formidable chaos
A rainbow
Vibrant
Insistent
Inspiring
Beautiful
Rainbows ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #101
Sometimes
Even the appearance of a rainbow
Cannot dispel the darkness
So I plumb the darkness
Seeking the rainbow within
