Get out on that highway
Nothing in the rearview
But what I carry with me
Nothing in the rearview
But what I carry with me
Eyes forward
Movin’ on
Leavin’ all the dust
Behind me

Blue ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #53
No matter the depth
Of the blue I fall into
There is light above
And a vibrancy of life
I can climb to
Of the blue I fall into
There is light above
And a vibrancy of life
I can climb to
Double Reflection
Stars and planes
Streaked through the sky
While camera film
Made green the night
Doubled in the pond below
Streaked through the sky
While camera film
Made green the night
Doubled in the pond below
And o’er it all
Arced golden steel
To celebrate
The westward move
The will to move
When I look back
At all the worlds
I’ve left behind
On journeys past
At all the worlds
I’ve left behind
On journeys past
Some with regret
And, some, disdain
Though most with neither
This nor that
I think not
Of the world I’m in
The present
Not this very day
But all the worlds
I’ve yet to see
Which will also
Fall behind
The Hard Ride
I turn the brightness up
Raise myself out of the depths
The mire
The hardship
Out of the confusion
And disorientation
If only for a moment
Raise myself out of the depths
The mire
The hardship
Out of the confusion
And disorientation
If only for a moment
Breathe
Like coming up for air
In the tumult
Of crashing surf
Before the wave
Takes me under
Cyclone
Tossed by the storm
While the cyclone raged
Inside my heart
Inside my mind
Circling ’round
The centre
While the cyclone raged
Inside my heart
Inside my mind
Circling ’round
The centre
My spirit
My soul
The eye
Of my
Being
Harmonious Lines
I find harmony
In places unexpected
A dirty, broken alley
Amid the smells
Of misery and death
In places unexpected
A dirty, broken alley
Amid the smells
Of misery and death
Scrawled there
In pigment
And love
Arcs and lines
A language of hope
And possibility
Framing the World
Sometimes the frame
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
The same is true
When exploring
Philosophy, science
And relationships
The subject
Of any investigation
Is not always as interesting
As the context of its conditions
Walls
I erected walls
To keep my darkness contained
To keep me safe inside
To keep the searing light out
To keep my darkness contained
To keep me safe inside
To keep the searing light out
The light
It hurt too much
I saw too much
I felt too much
Darkness was cool
Darkness was painless
Darkness was sightless
Darkness was easy
Looking Back ~ A Year of Pic and a Word
I like to glance back
At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all
At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all
Then I turn forward
Take the next step
With a clearer vision
Of the trials and adventures
The path ahead promises
