I depart
For farther shores
In rearward glance
The past recedes
Leave behind
Mistaken thoughts
Their wrongful acts
Now turn away
Forge ahead
Find a path to better ways

Diminution
I prefer the kind of spirituality
Which harbours no intention
To make me feel small
Or subject to the judgment of others
Not even gods
Just as I have no desire
To judge anyone
Not even myself
A condition
Which I am ever on the path
Of unlearning
The Promise
There is a promise in the road
Not the destination
Every place I may want to go
Is a waypoint
On the way to another place
Neither the journey
What is to be gained
From moving
For the sake of movement
But once the wheels
Begin to roll
Changes begin
The promise manifests
What I see; How I think; Who I am
A Beautiful Rut
This life
This repetitious life
It cuts a swath
Erodes away
Possibilities
This repetitious life
It cuts a swath
Erodes away
Possibilities
Call it a canyon
Or call it a rut
A pretty enough rut, you say
Perhaps… but still a rut
So I scamper out
Leaving a trail
Of dusty memory
Seeking the open vista above
The expanse of the big sky
A land of possibility
Unconfined Light
I remind myself
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is only light
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is only light
And the tunnel
Is only the sum of my fears
Confining me
Bridges
There is a bridge
From here to anywhere
Though oft I cross
In naught but metaphor
From here to anywhere
Though oft I cross
In naught but metaphor
Still, if I land
On farther shores
Though metaphor
They be
Burn ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #38
Sometimes, the fire
It burns too hot
Can’t douse the flames
Can’t put it out
It burns too hot
Can’t douse the flames
Can’t put it out
I walk away
And let it burn
It follows me
Burns up the world
But if I stay
And let it burn
It burns away
The fuel it’s fed
Bigger
I wish I was
A bigger man
A brighter heart
A gentler hand
A bigger man
A brighter heart
A gentler hand
But every time
I find a wall
Which limits me
And makes me small
I push it back
A little way
Become a bigger
Man that day
