each day i see you struggling to move along the rugged path of innocence leaning upon emptiness promises peace love bliss forever you a sacrificial offering on the altar of belief hold fast to terra firma never daring to take flight tho the flames rise all around
What a vivid and beautiful poem, and the picture (which I assume you took) is amazing. You posted a note on one of my recent poems, and I’m glad you did. This blog is magnificent. I look forward to spending some time here.
Thank you!
This one could be interpreted in more ways than one…. I wonder what you thinking as you penned this one…
This hawk is such a stand out against the saturated blue… what a treasure to have caught these on camera…
“the rugged / path of innocence” — how well we, who believe what others tell us, know this trail through the wilderness not of our making. Nice, Charles.
