Sometimes a Flood

A trickle
Where sometimes a flood
In a land grown thirsty
While from the sun falls
Torrents of heat
And light
In a valley
Deeper than shadow

Tight on the Droplets, Rogue River Gorge Falls, Oregon, United States of America

As Water Falls

As water falls
In fractured cascade
See trauma’s pain

Fragmented mesh
Of memory and behavior
Slim tenuous tendrils
Strewn across twin darknesses
Of dissociation and repression
Shattered shards of self
Unanchored and adrift

Confined

Emotion confined
Invites a sundering flood
Passion jumps the banks

Barely a Trickle

Barely a trickle
Below, broken evidence
Here sometimes a fall

Emerald Pools Trail, Zion National Park, Utah, United States of America

Trickle

Just a trickle
May restore
What once was lost

Love
Hope

Filling pools of possibility

Falling

I tumble
Into an unknown
Wrapped within
A cacophony
Of confusion

Resist
And be dashed against
The rocks

Let go
Allow the chaos
To coalesce

I rejoin
Resolving flow
Into the known

Spray Borne

Spray borne of the pummeling
Where river falls upon the stone
Captures sun and holds it there
Delight in all the colours eyes can see
Arrayed in spectral artistry

Vital Tumult

Have you ever noticed
How exciting the tumult is
The uproar and confusion
How vital and present it feels

We battle through it
We quell the uproar
We resolve the confusion
We overcome

And it feels good
Even in the midst
Of the worst of times
These are the best of times

So I wonder how it is
We fail to acknowledge
Just how much
We love a good war

We are a species
Of adrenaline junkies
Bent on our own destruction
Because it makes us feel alive

Into the Chasm, Athabasca Falls, Athabasca River, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Power

I stand beside the chasm’s tumult
Powerless to end the flood
Or even mitigate the flow

Spectator at the edge
Close enough to feel the spray

Of power’s fearsome rush

Tumult ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #107

Like the water
Calm as a lake
With not so much
As a breezy ripple
So am I

Let the world
Fall away
Lose my ground
And a mighty tumult
Become I
