The blue cool
The amber warmth
And the universe
All around me
And then
I remember
I am the universe
I am the cool
And the warmth
I am the calm
And then
I remember
I am the universe
I am the cool
And the warmth
I am the calm
Dangerous
Treacherous
Perilous
But such is life
Even safe on
Valley floor
Respect the risks
Then undertake
To peak the crest
I didn’t intend to write the following, it’s just what came out. It’s not really what the challenge called for, so I’ll go back and try that one again. But I thought it was worth posting anyway. . .so here it is.
1. There’s a spiritual sensation of connectedness I get from time to time, a few moments in time that feel as though I’m connected to and can sense the existence of all things, an awareness that there is a grand spiritual reality beyond my rational ken that is graspable by my ever developing being.
The snow white beauty
Promising the bliss
Of expansive powder
In my mind
Are endless turns
Each a moment
Of transformation
Of perfect zen
Now hardened black
In icy shroud
Ironic white
So when it does
I shout out
To the atmospheric mayhem
