The path I travel
Narrows in
The valley steepens
Clouds draw low
The road unmapped
The way obscured

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
The Lowest Road
This road
Between
The peaks
It cleaves
The valley floor
But I
Would climb
Into the sky
If I
Could find
A path
To take me there
But where
No path’s
Been cut
I have not
The will
To blaze
The trail
Up to
The heights
And so am I
Confined
To roam
The lowest road
Below
The sun
Between
The peaks
It cleaves
The valley floor
But I
Would climb
Into the sky
If I
Could find
A path
To take me there
But where
No path’s
Been cut
I have not
The will
To blaze
The trail
Up to
The heights
And so am I
Confined
To roam
The lowest road
Below
The sun
Cacophony
In the cacophonous mingling
Of mountain and sky
My eye finds no place to rest
No one object to hold it
Of mountain and sky
My eye finds no place to rest
No one object to hold it
So it is free
To revel in the details
The myriad forms
The endless possibility
Of discovery
Finding the Roads into the Unknown
I journey into unknown lands
Seeking the roads
Which take me deep
Seeking the roads
Which take me deep
Where there are no maps
I keep faith
I’ll find my way
Where there are no roads
I keep faith
I can forge my own
Exploration in the Darkness
This darkened space
Inside a world unknown to me
Unfamiliar, as religion
Unfamiliar, as culture
Mystery, riddle, enigma
Inside a world unknown to me
Unfamiliar, as religion
Unfamiliar, as culture
Mystery, riddle, enigma
Intricate details
Inlaid in stone walls
Indicate a beauty
And subtlety
Beckoning exploration
Tenuous ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #70
I walk the tenuous path
Connecting here and now to other
Mindful of the tides
And time
Knowing
Not all explorations bear fruit
So I plan my return
With equal care
Connecting here and now to other
Mindful of the tides
And time
Knowing
Not all explorations bear fruit
So I plan my return
With equal care
Moving forward, sometimes
Requires stepping backward
To reconnoitre
To reconsider
To recenter on the here and now
So the paths to possible others
May emerge
Framing the World
Sometimes the frame
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
The same is true
When exploring
Philosophy, science
And relationships
The subject
Of any investigation
Is not always as interesting
As the context of its conditions
Comfortable Paths
Sometimes
It takes a lot of exploring
To find the comfortable path
It takes a lot of exploring
To find the comfortable path
But the comfortable path
Is not always the best path
Or the true path
So I try to remember
Keep exploring
Highway Explorations
There is little more delightful to roadtrippers
Than a lightly used highway
Which does the exploring for us
Than a lightly used highway
Which does the exploring for us
