The chance to look backward
is all bittersweet
As churn and disturbance
seem to go on
without end
Roiling the depths
Marring the surface
Etching the journey
Sliding
beyond the
horizon
Past what you can see
or even remember…
Raise your eyes!
Raise your eyes!
Raise
Your
Eyes…
and recall
The Mountains
Traversed
Before ever leaving a wake
at
all.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is (usually) a weekly creativity prompt offered Mondays.

I love the picture prompts, and I often find Patrick and I are on the same wavelength (I never read his poem before I write mine).

I, on the other hand, always write mine before I read yours. 😉
