The Way
The sheer vastness
is simultaneously empowering and humbling,
its vivid greens, blended blues, faded greys
earn my sighs,
a hunger grasped, tossed windward,
soaring beyond well-worn path
horse and I now tread,
notebook and pen pocketed
as I ponder Karma versus Chance.
Infinity encircles my neck,
Luck my wrist, sterling silver trinkets
that haven’t (as yet) earned their keep
a bit like my thoughts: inked, slanted,
dotted, carefully crossed,
pages arranged just so… although,
may as well send them soaring
upon mountain’s breeze,
not fool myself I’m in control.
Give my horse his head,
for he seems to enjoy the winding way.
This is linked with "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Art Flash / 55" It is LOOSELY linked as I did get inspiration from the original artistic image (which can be found on the link) and it is not a 55 - but as I was atop the mountain and enjoying the warm, light breeze - I wanted to share these images instead and I slightly changed the poem when I got back home.... Hope "inspired by" is close enough...
