I see the world
In ways my ancestors
Could not imagine
In ways my ancestors
Could not imagine
But I wonder too
At the worlds now gone
I cannot imagine

Beautiful Blur
Sometimes
It’s a blur
All of it
As if through a window
Stained by fog and rain
It’s a blur
All of it
As if through a window
Stained by fog and rain
A beautiful blur
For which clarity
Is not always
An improvement
Courage ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #180
We span the ages
you and I
across all sense
of time and space
our stories twine
you and I
across all sense
of time and space
our stories twine
And I can’t say
where it began
or where it ends
or if it ever will
It drives you to
the edge of mad
(where you found me)
but with your ever
growing faith
it’s clear
Life is not so
rational
as you would like
Discontinuous
In fact
Time sometimes goes
from front to back
while space folds in
upon itself
and plops you down
in the middle of
you know not
what
Yet still you stand
amidst the fray
(such dark embrace)
to write these words
you promised me
Love is not so
rational
as you would like
But its beauty
drives you still
Haze ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #179
Through the haze
Of day I peer
Of day I peer
Now what is near
Seems quite clear
But far from here
Is more obscure
Detail lost
Colour sallowed
Though sun breaks through
Its presence mellowed
Yet, still
Sunrise ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #178
I let the day go
Leave the past
In the past
Leave the past
In the past
As the harsh light fades
I live in the magic glow
Of this brief moment
Let the darkness come
Like closed eyes
And a deep breath
A new glory follows
A light to be filled
With possible moments
Upriver ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #177
Against both tide and current
Headway slow and steady
Though the river hurries by
Headway slow and steady
Though the river hurries by
Rise
I see the beauty
It’s not so very far
And a road which leads
From shadow to the light
From the broken lands
To where snow-capped pinnacles
It’s not so very far
And a road which leads
From shadow to the light
From the broken lands
To where snow-capped pinnacles
Rise
Though I see
Not so very far ahead
I take the road
Into the valley maze
And trust myself
To find the way
Entangled ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #176
Entangled in dreams and traumas
Is my heart betrayed
By actions driven
From deep inside
The darkness
Unplumbed
So
Finally do I
Enter the dark
Holding the light
Of my broken heart
To heal the injuries
And discover the truth of dreams
Is my heart betrayed
By actions driven
From deep inside
The darkness
Unplumbed
So
Finally do I
Enter the dark
Holding the light
Of my broken heart
To heal the injuries
And discover the truth of dreams
The Dreaming
Light and colour dreaming
Resplendent core
Emboldened heart
Beyond these dreams, I soar
Resplendent core
Emboldened heart
Beyond these dreams, I soar
The Inner Life of Healing
“You are never really gone,” she tells me
“The times you ‘go away’,” she goes on
“Are like your body, treading water
While you process all you’ve learned”
“The times you ‘go away’,” she goes on
“Are like your body, treading water
While you process all you’ve learned”
Now I watch my waitress
And I wonder if she is also processing
The traumas of a dimly remembered past
While serving another table’s drink orders
I wonder if the waitress knows
That in the every day of just going along
Her mind, and her heart, and her spirit
Process the hard work that is so upsetting
“You did not go crazy”
“You did not die”
“You lived and never let go of the light
Even when you were plunged into the darkness”
“And all you learned to cope
With the trauma so many years ago
Keeps you alive now
While you heal”
