I lived my life
So very small
Now left to wonder
Shall I shuffle off
Before I ever roared
As so many others
Come and gone
Faintest whispers
On the wind

Scale ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #268
A matter of scale
Not a tree
But a twig
Not a mountain
Nor a mound
But a small deposit
Of mineral Earth
Boiled up from below
Perhaps more beautiful
Than it deserves to be
Like the problems I face
And resolve
Every day
Small deposits
All growing into me
Perhaps more beautiful
Than I deserve to be
Not a tree
But a twig
Not a mountain
Nor a mound
But a small deposit
Of mineral Earth
Boiled up from below
Perhaps more beautiful
Than it deserves to be
Like the problems I face
And resolve
Every day
Small deposits
All growing into me
Perhaps more beautiful
Than I deserve to be
Shadow in the Mist
Sometimes
I seem
Even to myself
As a shadow
In the mist
I seem
Even to myself
As a shadow
In the mist
Irresolute
Unfulfilled
Incomplete
I remind myself
Step
Into my being
Out of the shadows
Beyond the mist
Steadfast
Manifest
Consummate
Sky and Earth on Fire
The sky
And Earth
On fire
And Earth
On fire
Like your touch
Trailing a line
Along my flesh
Improbable Places
I love finding
Improbable places
Where my reason
And imagination
Are equally taxed
Improbable places
Where my reason
And imagination
Are equally taxed
When the unimaginable
Becomes reasonable
Imagination soars
Life Springs
I learn to let life flow where it must
Knowing, like water, it can only go
Where the landscape allows it
Knowing, like water, it can only go
Where the landscape allows it
Water will not run uphill
It will not run fast across a plain
It will not run at all
Where no rain falls
Comfortable Paths
Sometimes
It takes a lot of exploring
To find the comfortable path
It takes a lot of exploring
To find the comfortable path
But the comfortable path
Is not always the best path
Or the true path
So I try to remember
Keep exploring
Dawn or Apocalypse
There are places in this world
Which take me back in time
Or is it forward?
I don’t know
Which take me back in time
Or is it forward?
I don’t know
Is this the dawn of time?
Or apocalypse?
The beginning of life?
Or the end of it?
