Beckoning Highway, State Road 374, Beatty, Nevada, United States of America

The Promise

There is a promise in the road

Not the destination
Every place I may want to go
Is a waypoint
On the way to another place

Neither the journey
What is to be gained
From moving
For the sake of movement

But once the wheels
Begin to roll
Changes begin
The promise manifests

What I see; How I think; Who I am

Future ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #260

Hither I leave
This valley of death
And I will fear no future

For I bear not the past
Carry only hope, and my staff

Tenacity

Moonrise Over Blackcomb II, Alta Lake, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Diminished

Your light has dimmed
Become a moon
Which once was sun
In brighter skies

And in your eyes
I see you know
Feel the shadow
Across your soul

Confused you are
By your confusion
Where once you knew
Some clarity

As time and mind
Slip from you
So too do you
Slip from me

Pigeon Point Lighthouse, near Santa Cruz, California, United States of America

Morning’s Welcome

The sun crests the sea
And in the light I see
The beacon stayed true
To guide us through
The darkling pass

We navigated
The long night
To morning’s welcome
This new shore
Beckoning

Nearby Star, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, Near Lions Bay, British Columbia, Canada

A Nearby Star

Perched on a mossy cliffside
Basking in the warmth
Of a nearby star

The scents of sea
And conifers

Carried on the breeze

While I
Close my eyes

Breathe in
All of existence
Gathered in a moment

Sun Shine, Sea to Sky Highway, Near Lion's Bay, British Columbia, Canada

Curvature of the Earth

I remind myself
That this Earth
Is but a small globe

Spinning and spinning
In infinite space

And I no more than a mote

A sprinkling of star dust
Coalesced in flesh and bone

Which one day woke up
Asking questions about
The universe and itself

Is there more than that?
I may never know

Perhaps I simply forgot

Hope ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #259

I remember a day
When our star burned
Bright and hot
In the cold, crisp air

Delightful frolics

When the clouds softened
Saw blade peaks
Rather than coat the sky
In remorseful grey

Like Today

I remember a better day
And another to come
A future memory known not by
Prescience nor forecast

Only, hope

Time and Patience, Horseshoe Bend, Colorado River, Page, Arizona, United States of America

Patience and Peace

I remind myself
Time and water
Carved this canyon
From solid rock

Though patience
And softness
Cannot resolve
Every problem

The peace flowing
From their practice
Bears a reward
Of its own

As I watch
The sun set
Upon the stone
The river cut

Continue reading Patience and Peace
