Plateau
I dig down
Unpack another layer
I dig down
Unpack another layer
Unpack another layer
I dig down
Unpack another layer
Another

Another
How many layers deep?
I see only the next
Unpack another
See another
Unpack
Another
Until I don’t want
To see anymore
Unpack anymore
Dig anymore
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
Obscure the end
Yet go
I must
And like the river
Wend
Until the end
Is sure
Trust the Flow
I make my way
Down winding path
Down winding path
Though much I seem
To go astray
Just trust the flow
To lead the way
So long as I
Keep steady craft
Row with the main
And level stay
I’ll reach the calm
Upon this raft
Three ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #141
Just the three of us
Spirit, mind and body
On a journey through
Space, time and possibility
Spirit, mind and body
On a journey through

Revealing the Wall
When you pulled the ground
Out from under me
Why were you surprised
It left a wall you could not climb
Out from under me
Why were you surprised
It left a wall you could not climb
Time and Love
Time and love
They’ve etched your lines
Deep into me
They’ve etched your lines
Deep into me
Winnowing
Armies are not raised
From the masses
But rather winnowed
With fear and anger
And the will toward violence
The way rain and runoff
Separates the stones
From the sediment
From the masses
But rather winnowed
With fear and anger
And the will toward violence
The way rain and runoff
Separates the stones
From the sediment

No Stony End
Young conifer
Which set down roots
Some few years ago
But now exposed
By desert rains
And so it seems
To cling to Earth
While off beyond
The hoodoos laugh
At upstart pine
Which set down roots
Some few years ago
But now exposed
By desert rains
And so it seems
To cling to Earth
While off beyond
The hoodoos laugh
At upstart pine
You see
The mighty columns say
This once was plain
Withered away
Exposing us
The roots of Earth
Soon enough
More rain will come
Erode the land
You’re rooted on
Until you fall
Then come to rest
As dust beneath
Our hoodoo feet
