Big ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #143

Sometimes

I’m confronted with it
So big
So far to go

So little time
How will I explore it all
How will I get there

A step
At a
Time

I don’t know
Just how far
That will take me

Whether
It will be
To the end

So best
To not
Stand still

Hope and Possibility

Where there is romance and reminiscence
In a sunset
There is hope and possibility
In a sunrise

Crossings

I intend
To cross this barrenness
Knowing not what awaits
On the other side
Or if there is
An other side
I can reach

Subtle Hour

In the subtle hour
At day’s end
Serenity
Transcends presence
Transforms being

I bask
In expansion
Become vivid
In my finite
Infinity

Twice a Day an Island

This little bit of rock
Twice a day an Island
Momentary wilderness
Beyond an urban beach

Mother

In magic hour’s
Golden glow
She tucks them gently
Into rustling sheets
Already deep
In slumber’s keep
A loving kiss
Upon each brow
Then turns away
Though not without
A backward glance
A silent sigh
She carries
With her
Into night
The peaceful sleep
Of innocents

Backlight

There’s a bright light
Beyond the back of my mind
Illuminating a hint
Of a promise
For a possibility
I cannot quite
Comprehend

Formidable
Majestic

A divine grace

Nonetheless

Ultimately
Terrifying

The Reaching Sea

The questing sea
Reaches for me
Then for the sky

Not at all content
With her lowly lot

Seeks to climb the shore

Or sunders self
Evaporates

Obtains a cloudy high
Though just a mist (as liquid falls to Earth)
Flows back as river to the sea

Nature’s Afterglow

Is it aftermath
Or afterglow
When the storm is past
And the sun sinks low
Behind scattering clouds
Reflected in calming waves

I suppose
It is a matter of perspective
As most extreme conditions are
So I tend to see the glow

And the storm?
Nature’s petit mort

Railway Sunset, Route 66, Mojave Desert, California, United States of America

The Long Straight and Narrow

Some roads are a joyride
Some roads are a roadtrip
Some roads are a journey

And some roads are the long haul
Running straight and narrow
Ending somewhere beyond the horizon

Roll onto one of these
And I’ve made a commitment
Right to the end of the line
