I remind myself
Even the gentlest creeks
Carve canyons from bedrock
With the aid of time and tenacity

Future ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #260
Hither I leave
This valley of death
And I will fear no future
This valley of death
And I will fear no future
For I bear not the past
Carry only hope, and my staff

Cracks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #205
I only noticed the cracks in my armour
As the blow came down
As the blow came down
Beaten
Vulnerable
I rose, vowing not to be struck again
Opting for the only defense remaining
Offense
On the Move
Unfocused
Unresolved
Motion blurred
Unresolved
Motion blurred
Unsettled
Uncertain
Movement fractured
Undeterred
Unrelenting
Moving forward
Confinement
Bound
In heart and spirit
In heart and spirit
Lost
On a forkless path
Stop
Look for a door
A ladder, a rope
Turn
Seek another path
Upon retraced steps
Wait
For alternatives
To appear
Move
Follow the instinct
Which began this path
Despair
There is no despair
Only tenacity
Some Mad Portal
No matter how dark the path
No matter how obscured
How many obstacles
No matter how obscured
How many obstacles
Some mad portal
Always seems to appear
And I find my way
My failures seem always
To be failures of perseverance
When I turn away from the path
The Texture of Beauty
What seems smooth
From afar
Proximity reveals
From afar
Proximity reveals
Scars
Pockmarks
Weathering
Textures of
Distress
Hardship
Healing
Making Waves
The waves crest
Far off the beach
Not with ferocity
But with energy
And intent
Far off the beach
Not with ferocity
But with energy
And intent
They rush onto the long
Shallow slope of sand
Which gradually saps their strength
Reduces their presence
Until they peter out before me
Weakened to ripples
Barely able to disturb the sand
