Ripsaw peaks
Sunder ice
This land distressed
And yet at peace
Beguiles spirit
Releases soul
Inner silence
Serenity

Ascending to Descend
For some
The mountains
Are there to ascend
The mountains
Are there to ascend
For others
The ascent climaxes
With a beginning
Sometimes
The ecstasy
Is in the descent
Inverted
Inversion
When the peak is warm
And the valley cool
The cloud stays low
And the sun up high
When the peak is warm
And the valley cool
The cloud stays low
And the sun up high
Inverted
Yes, like me
Upside-down and
Unsettled
Shake me up
And let the layers
Resolve
Until
Settled
At rest
In Wait
From the valley floor
I see
Some few imposing
Icy peaks
I see
Some few imposing
Icy peaks
But clamber up
One mountainside
And from atop
Discover
Endless array
Of pinnacles
Each mighty in itself
Waiting to be conquered
Symphony
Like a nova in the sky
The sun
An artifact of glass
Between my eye
And the field of blue
Its light refracting
Through the gauzy haze
Then kicking off
The snowy peaks
And come to rest
On pixelled canvas
There to play
With virtual brush
Create anew
Reality
A symphony of light
Conducted

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

Clouds draw low
The road unmapped

Molten Sky
This molten sky
Enveloping
Sweet nature’s towers
In cloudy flames
Of fiery grey
Which leap and dance
Yet leave no mark
But for the rain
Which splatters me
And like those fires
Burning orange hot
Renews the life
On mountainsides
Then when it’s past
This monochrome
Reveal the sun
To cast its light
On verdant slopes
With cotton peaks

Steadfast ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #109
In this great rock
Am I reminded
In steadfastness
Still may I rise
Am I reminded
In steadfastness
Still may I rise
Magic Castle
This golden hour
This magic light
Reminds me of
My brightest days
Times when I
Could do no wrong
Creative might
Insightful mind

Moments of Discovery
I’m no hero
Reluctant or foretold
No beacon of goodness
Reluctant or foretold
No beacon of goodness
I’m no brave soul
Blazing a path of wisdom
For others to follow
Such youthful fantasy
