trading time for money
energy limited resource
house built on debt
family of ghosts
hamster in a wheel
the endless run
wiped out all the
left over wits
river within its banks
carving the rocks
running its course
without fail
life like a river
seeping away
from us all
sooner than later
shaping us by the flow
nothing stays the same
only change remains
for eternity
standing on the top admiring
the vastness of the mountain ranges
the depth of the lakes below
high altitude that takes the breath away
as the cool wind picks up
dissipating the stale
memories and all worries
swept away into the distance
beyond the self protecting ego
screaming loudly on the way up
breaking through the discomfort
of the body and the small mind
victorious
inhaling deeply
oxygen filling the lungs
rebuilding the strength
to continue the journey
into the abyss
uplifted

holiday mode still present
mountain air crispy and cool
mooing of country cows
foraging on roadside apples
the fresh cold morning
the fireplace still warm
the hot shower steam
the pot of freshly brewed tea
spread of sweet honey liquid
on a crusty sourdough bread
ensure the needed nutrition
for a challenge of today
the sun is out and up
the breeze is mellow
the car is full of energy
and so are we
recharged and ready
to embrace the day
in a country of
fluffy wombats
the sun opened each wild flower
caressing her soft petals gently
the breeze stroked all the leaves
bending the long growing grass
it was a day with not a cloud in sight
walking across the bridge hand in hand
into the fields of golden light
their touch invisible to the naked eye
their journey together was near the end
spontaneously lifting her black veil
showing an empty space
then a hesitant kiss
the sudden darkness
remembering her duties
he followed into the field
never to return
alive
