In this land of
Oh-so-pretty
The comings and
The goings become
As much the point of travel
As arriving
Oh-so-pretty

The goings become
As much the point of travel

Diminutive ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #90
Diminutive
Am I within
This grand design
Of laws and matter
Am I within
This grand design
Of laws and matter
Such that I
Go travelling
A great expanse
Or one so seeming
In truth
A journey of
A thousand miles
Is hardly more than one
In a universe
Far wider still
Than light
Has ever gone
Lotus Petals
Petals fallen
To dimpled pond
Where raindrops gather
On lotus pads
A thousand diamonds glittering
Under slate grey skies
To dimpled pond
Where raindrops gather
On lotus pads
A thousand diamonds glittering
Under slate grey skies
Rain quells nature’s sounds
No songbirds sing
No children shout
Ours are the only ears
To hear
The gentle white-noise patter
Of rainfall
Coming back to Earth
Heart ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #87
I make no room
In my heart
For hate
In my heart
For hate
Swagger
Swagger
Chutzpah
Presence
Chutzpah
Presence
A small man
Of no small mass
A big heart
A wise soul
Both worn
Close to the surface
Monkey Business
I remember a time
When simply breathing
Was dangerous
When simply breathing
Was dangerous
A time before
The Clean Air Act of 1970
The Environmental Protection Agency
Which gave the Act bite
And enforced its many regulations
I am reminded of that time
When I travel to countries
Which ignore the science
Or have no political will
To preserve the Earth
Which sustains us
Movement ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #85
In a world
Flattened and stilled
My taxi crawls
Toward a fogged-in airport
Flights delayed
Flattened and stilled
My taxi crawls
Toward a fogged-in airport
Flights delayed
Forward progress
Intermittent
Passing
Ill-advised
The People Who Change the World
To roam the world
Is to see the unimaginable
To experience the unknown
And, most profound of all
Is to see the unimaginable
To experience the unknown
And, most profound of all
To touch
And be touched
By people
I may never see again
But who will forever
Change my world
So Many “Me”s
There are so many places
Wanderlust takes me
And every one
Brings out
Another
Me
Wanderlust takes me
And every one
Brings out
Another
Me
