Get out on that highway
Nothing in the rearview
But what I carry with me
Nothing in the rearview
But what I carry with me
Eyes forward
Movin’ on
Leavin’ all the dust
Behind me

Blue ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #53
No matter the depth
Of the blue I fall into
There is light above
And a vibrancy of life
I can climb to
Of the blue I fall into
There is light above
And a vibrancy of life
I can climb to
Double Reflection
Stars and planes
Streaked through the sky
While camera film
Made green the night
Doubled in the pond below
Streaked through the sky
While camera film
Made green the night
Doubled in the pond below
And o’er it all
Arced golden steel
To celebrate
The westward move
The will to move
When I look back
At all the worlds
I’ve left behind
On journeys past
At all the worlds
I’ve left behind
On journeys past
Some with regret
And, some, disdain
Though most with neither
This nor that
I think not
Of the world I’m in
The present
Not this very day
But all the worlds
I’ve yet to see
Which will also
Fall behind
Framing the World
Sometimes the frame
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
Is more worthy
Of closer inspection
Than the image inside it
The same is true
When exploring
Philosophy, science
And relationships
The subject
Of any investigation
Is not always as interesting
As the context of its conditions
Looking Back ~ A Year of Pic and a Word
I like to glance back
At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all
At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all
Then I turn forward
Take the next step
With a clearer vision
Of the trials and adventures
The path ahead promises
Shadow ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #52
Meeting my shadow
Surprised me
Not for his darkness
Nor for his pain and scars
Surprised me
Not for his darkness
Nor for his pain and scars
He is a shadow
That is his essence
It surprised me
That I admired him
For his perseverance
For his tenacity
For his will to exist
For his endurance
Tranquility
I have learned
There is peace to be had
Tranquility
In any given moment
There is peace to be had
Tranquility
In any given moment
I close my eyes
Breathe, consciously
And bring up an image
Of tranquility
A memory
A fantasy
A painting
A scene
Hold that in my mind
Breathing in
Breathing out
The Circle
In this arc that is life
We are born
We breathe
We eat
We cry
We love
We hurt
We’re hurt
We are born
We breathe
We eat
We cry
We love
We hurt
We’re hurt
We learn to speak
In ways elegant
And ignorant
We grow old
Or we don’t
But all of us
We die
The Things I Leave Behind
I build things
Create
Establish
Organize
Create
Establish
Organize
Blogs
Scripts
Software
Relationships
Meticulously
Passionately
Obsessively
Lovingly
