Praise those generous,
With naught to share
But kindness.

The challenge
Reveals truth,
A leap- or lapse of faith —
Let us see
Who believes.

Sickness
Fears
The cure.

A brand new destination
To find the prompt
You know and love
Daily journeys, unexpected
Dip your pen
Into your heart
And write
Unseen sights await
Those brave enough
To embark

Star sailing
A vessel shaped
From lucid dreams
And moonlight strands
Destination: anywhere
Next stop: eternity.

The cupboard door
The second star to the right
The rabbit hole
We long to see
What lays beyond

Ravenous wanderlust
Developing perception
Craving sights unseen
Brave the unexplored
Seeking
New warning signs
To defy

When cornered
The simple
      Flee and perish
The weak
      Surrender
The bold
      Waylay

Victorious
Yet ruined
Stranded in
A place
Forlorn

Far from home
Entranced
Estranged
Where cultures
Clash

Ghosts of regret
Still calling
From scarring tracks
Past mistakes
Long since
Washed away
In rivulets
Of sorrow

Breath catches
Pulse quickens
Eyes widen
Revering
A vista
Inspiring
Wonder

Step beyond
Pierce the veil
Clarity
Serenity
Lucidity
Awaits

Virgin pages
Awaiting inspiration
In the very beginning
Let there be light

Don't wear your past
Like a stigma
That defines you
Carry it
Like a map
To remember
Where you came from

Knowing
Only fools and dreamers
Wish upon the stars
Tying fate
To fickle lights
I wonder
Which of these
Am I

Tragic are they
Who are so afraid
To self-express
They instead
Erase themselves
Without a trace
Forgetting
Who they are

Even
An eternity of love
Starts
With a
      Smile
And a
      Click

Shutting down
Strange reflections
Occupy
My overheated mind

Heatwaves
Freeze
Life

Seek
The quaint
Amidst
The mundane
