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

Rainbows ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #101

Sometimes

Even the appearance of a rainbow
Cannot dispel the darkness

So I plumb the darkness
Seeking the rainbow within
