Confinement

Bound
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

Steps ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #165

Sometimes the light
     Seems very far
And the way
     So dark and perilous
And the path
     Occluded mystery

I remind myself
     Just take a step
I remember
     Where every journey begins
I find my courage
     In the many paths already taken

I’ve held the light
     before
I’ve made my way
     before
I’ve found the path
     before

I will hold the light
again

Badlands Rivulets, Drumheller, Alberta, Canada

Soul Mates

So many roads
Lead me to you
So many more
Led us astray

For every branch
A thousand leaves
For every fork
A thousand more

Just keep the faith
And carry on
I’ll find the way
Back to your heart

A Beautiful Rut

This life
This repetitious life
It cuts a swath
Erodes away
Possibilities

Call it a canyon
Or call it a rut
A pretty enough rut, you say
Perhaps… but still a rut

So I scamper out
Leaving a trail
Of dusty memory

Seeking the open vista above
The expanse of the big sky

A land of possibility

wizened and weathered, badlands, Drumheller, Alberta, Canada

Wizened & Weathered

Wizened and wisened
I find myself
At the end of my path
There to discover
Though I’ve forged my own trail
Made my own way through the wilderness
We all come together
In the end
At the infinite infinitesimal of oneness
Whether by design
Or default

Bend ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #162

The bends oft
Obscure the end
Yet go
I must
And like the river
Wend
Until the end
Is sure

Some Mad Portal

No matter how dark the path
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
