In this great rock
Am I reminded
In steadfastness
Still may I rise
Am I reminded
In steadfastness
Still may I rise
Feeding My Awe
I am truly happy
Only when seeking
The wonder of existence
Even the smallest
Only when feeding my awe
In which I become
Infinite
Only when seeking
The wonder of existence
Even the smallest
Only when feeding my awe
In which I become
Infinite
Giants ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #108
In this hard-scrabble place
Where little life lives
I walk amongst the lichen and scrub
Like a giant
On giant’s shoulders
All my world
Its worries and attachments
Lie far, far below
Where little life lives
I walk amongst the lichen and scrub
Like a giant
On giant’s shoulders
All my world
Its worries and attachments
Lie far, far below
I linger here
With the sun
My fading friend
As the cool night advances
I am clear and light
As the rarefied air
Beauty is Beauty
I explore
I break trails
Find my way
Through unknown lands
To destinations yet
Undiscovered
Unreconnoitered
Unexpected
I break trails
Find my way
Through unknown lands
To destinations yet
Undiscovered
Unreconnoitered
Unexpected
This is what I live for
Finding a new path
To a beautiful place
Rarely visited before
But I live too
For the well-worn trail
The short, easy hike
To a well-known vista
Of no small beauty
Tumult ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #107
Like the water
Calm as a lake
With not so much
As a breezy ripple
So am I
Calm as a lake
With not so much
As a breezy ripple
So am I
Let the world
Fall away
Lose my ground
And a mighty tumult
Become I
Mystery
Clouded
Occluded
Mysteries
Appeal to me
Occluded
Mysteries
Appeal to me
And I am never sure
Which outcome I prefer
A mystery revealed
Or mystery secure
Query or Attainment?
I heed the signs
Those which speak clearly
With authority
Of course
Those which speak clearly
With authority
Of course
But I am drawn
Inexorably
To those of mystery
Promising adventure
Challenge
And discovery
I prefer quests of query
Over sorties of attainment
The Beauty in What Is
I remind myself
Find the beauty in what is
Rather than what I desire
I will always have the beauty of the one
The other is, at best, only fleeting
If it ever comes to exist at all
Find the beauty in what is
Rather than what I desire
I will always have the beauty of the one
The other is, at best, only fleeting
If it ever comes to exist at all
Numbers ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #106
I sometimes count
The empty days
Of my spiritual slumber
But as I look back
Tallying the events
Of my awakening
Each day is filled
With the struggle
For the light
The empty days
Of my spiritual slumber
But as I look back
Tallying the events
Of my awakening
Each day is filled
With the struggle
For the light
