Sometimes I squint
To smudge the world
Within my mind
Then paint upon
The softened scene
A different
Kind of magic

Rapid ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #169
A chasm in my spirit formed
Through which my rage and pain now roils
Channelled through such rugged gorge
It churns and gouges rocky walls
With ill effect upon my soul
Through which my rage and pain now roils
Channelled through such rugged gorge
It churns and gouges rocky walls
With ill effect upon my soul
I hold on tight
This tiny raft
Upon the raucous
Seething froth
Ride the fury
Through the pass
All the while
Seek inward poise
For only then
Will ire abate
The rapid’s run
Is fueled by hate
While narrow walls
Are blinders worn
To keep my mind
In raging state
Power
I stand beside the chasm’s tumult
Powerless to end the flood
Or even mitigate the flow
Powerless to end the flood
Or even mitigate the flow
Spectator at the edge
Close enough to feel the spray
Of power’s fearsome rush
Inner Child
Dour and grey
Is a frame of mind
Which cannot survive
An inner child
Is a frame of mind
Which cannot survive
An inner child
Granite and Conifer
Enrapt
Enwrapped
Granite and conifer
Cloud and sky
And I
Reverent
In the rain
And rapture
Of nature’s glory
Enwrapped
Granite and conifer
Cloud and sky
And I
Reverent
In the rain
And rapture
Of nature’s glory
Time and Love
Time and love
They’ve etched your lines
Deep into me
They’ve etched your lines
Deep into me
Shadow in the Mist
Sometimes
I seem
Even to myself
As a shadow
In the mist
I seem
Even to myself
As a shadow
In the mist
Irresolute
Unfulfilled
Incomplete
I remind myself
Step
Into my being
Out of the shadows
Beyond the mist
Steadfast
Manifest
Consummate
