Snow dusts the hills
Rice flour on sourdough crust
Endless patterns
In burnished bronze
No subject
No object
No meaning
The explorer’s
Essential pleasure
Existential textures

Boxed In
Boxed in
Egress blocked
Walls impenetrable
But a blue sky
Offers promise
Possibility beyond
So I seek alternatives
Unknown paths
Improbable routes
The unexplored
May hide secrets
New trails to blaze
The Open Country of Being
No greater metaphor
To my reason for being
Than a remote highway
Through open country
I’ve not yet explored
With the tools in hand
To tell the tales
Of my discoveries
More and more
Discovery comes
As reflections of my self
In the landscape of existence
Winding ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #316
The winding path
Which takes me well beyond
Desired goals
Has served me well
Offered possibility
Once well outside my ken
Comforts challenged
Bound’ries shattered
With every step astray
From oft trod trails
Discover unknown countries
Within myself
A lesser man would I be
Who’d stayed the straight and narrow course
To some place known
When I’d set out
Exploration
Destination calls
Beyond a pathless expanse
Beckoning promise
Columbus
Revered & Reviled
A man of his time
Ahead of his time
Discoverer & Destroyer
Of worlds
A man of his time
Ahead of his time
Discoverer & Destroyer
Of worlds
A harbinger
Of things to come
Of times extant
Of days which always were
And may always be
Until we find our way
To a better way
Create a better world
Depth ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #126
I seek the depths
Plummet through the layers
Finding comfort
In the silent saturation
Of unknowns
To be discovered
Plummet through the layers
Finding comfort
In the silent saturation
Of unknowns
To be discovered
Crossing Boundaries
To explore other worlds
I must cross the boundaries
I’ve erected to contain my own
I must cross the boundaries
I’ve erected to contain my own
Beckoning
You and I
Shadowed by
A dark’ning sky
Drawn to light
Far out to sea
Held at bay
By wave and tide
Hold my hand
We’ll venture out
Explore the beach
And detritus
Left behind
By seas withdrawn
