Amber gold
Sun wraps the day
In magic hues
A gift to put away
In darkest places
And there stay wrapped
‘Til morning comes

Channel ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #59
Sometimes
The circumstances of existence
Confine my course
Constrict my flow
I become turbulent
Tear at the channel
Jump its banks
Flood, destructively
Without direction
The circumstances of existence
Confine my course
Constrict my flow
I become turbulent
Tear at the channel
Jump its banks
Flood, destructively
Without direction
Blood
Blood courses through me
Red life
Red life
More than grey matter
More than thoughts
More than being
More than all the love
I have ever given
In the final moments
I stop
When blood stops
I am
Blood
The Golden Heart
There is a golden heart
At the centre of my everything
Though oft obscured
Sometimes forgotten
At the centre of my everything
Though oft obscured
Sometimes forgotten
I call for it
In times of need
Or if too dark
It calls on me
It guides me true
Though rarely easy
But I know my path
When e’er I follow
My golden heart
Tranquility ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #57
I find tranquility
In the simplest things
In the simplest things
Nature’s harmony
Of shade and tone and texture
The way the gull finds the air
Which lifts him into the sky
The foamy leading edge
Of the wave lapping at my feet
Soft light through a rain-spattered window
With a good book and a cozy couch
This world between skies
In this world between skies
I thrive
Where turns go on forever
Edge to edge
Soft, flowing, floating
Sailing through
The clouds of white
Billowing all around me
I thrive
Where turns go on forever
Edge to edge
Soft, flowing, floating
Sailing through
The clouds of white
Billowing all around me
The Stone in the Lake
Oh I
Who felt the contractions
Of a world in birth
I carry the experience of aeons
The history of Earth
Who felt the contractions
Of a world in birth
I carry the experience of aeons
The history of Earth
A solid from liquid
Carved and shattered
Cracks refilled by molten rock
Uplifted and fractured
Sundered and separated
Tumbled and rolled
Now here
Settled gently
On the shore
Of a still lake
On a quiet dawn
To marvel at the fleeting existence
Of the things that live
Even the tree
Improbable Things
Some creatures of this world
Compel my imagination
Beyond known bounds
Compel my imagination
Beyond known bounds
For what mindless thing
Of improbability
And random chance
Flutters and floats
Against ocean currents
Trailing feathery death
From gelatinous glass
Such splendid beauty and malice
In this ghost of the sea
Creation ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #56
I love the things
Our human hands
And nature make
Our human hands
And nature make
With light and mass
We shape the world
For beauty’s sake
I love the way
Mind renders lines
To pleasure me
