Castles ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #44
A long shallow beach in the summertime
Children splash and laugh
Swim and frolic
Lay out on towels
In the hot sun
Browning young skin
On the fine grey sand
Children splash and laugh
Swim and frolic
Lay out on towels
In the hot sun
Browning young skin
On the fine grey sand
I the child
Dig down into the beach
Find the water
Swirl sand into slurry
Lift it out
Dripping from fingertips
Heavy Metals
I searched and searched
For hearts of gold
Burdened by
My leaden heart
For hearts of gold
Burdened by
My leaden heart
Such sweet gift I proffered
To other souls
None taking
Seeking Questions
I rise up
From a valley of hot desolation
Raise my consciousness
From a cacophony of noise
From a valley of hot desolation
Raise my consciousness
From a cacophony of noise
In silence
I listen
In darkness
I find light
In mystery
I find insight
In questions
I find…
Time & Mastery
Let time
And mastery
Wash away
All that is
Not me
And mastery
Wash away
All that is
Not me
Let diligence
And patience
Bring on
The insightful
Flood
Let my spirit
Rise
From the flat
Featureless plain
That was me
Bridges
I build bridges
From here to there
And there to here
From here to there
And there to here
Then cross them
To see what’s there
Or bring it here
And burn them
To keep what’s there
Away from here
Dig Deep
I dig deep
Deep as I can
Deeper than I thought I could
Deep as I can
Deeper than I thought I could
I discover
What I could never
Imagine
Fire
The fire burns hottest
Not in the flames
But in the embers
Which continue to burn
Long after the fire
Has burned out
Not in the flames
But in the embers
Which continue to burn
Long after the fire
Has burned out
Like That
I saw you
Stolid
Fierce
Impenetrable
Stolid
Fierce
Impenetrable
l saw you like that
From time to time
Brow drawn down
Eyes narrow
Squinting
Arms crossed tightly
Interlocked
A ward
A shield
A wall
A fortress
