This was the right path
I thought
Followed its siren song
where there Home
carved itself out in me
rooted me to the plateauvalley
like a tree
Everything is Fine
Hibernate my veins sigh
Hibernate
But I
can't abide the flat plane
so looked to the sky
the #mountain peaks
still beckoning

October weather
turning cooler

autumnal winds
blowing cold

it's time for a comforting
warm fires glow

overlooking
an eternal #mountain
of serenity

Mountain, mountain,
of renown;
stony fountain,
upside-down.

I said I was bored, so Dad gave me a spoon and told me to chip away at the #mountain. It took me a month to move the first rock, by the time it tilted my knuckles were raw and the spoon was down to the nub. So he handed me another. I'm not sure if he meant it as punishment or encouragement.

As of 2076, there were less than two-thousand #mountain lions left in the world. My wife was part of a conservation team trying to save them before she was fatally shot by a Christian fundamentalist... #vss365 #microfiction #scifi #climatefiction #writesky

Like echoes from last winter's winds
we walk hands bracing‪
hardly drawing for breath
across mountain peeks
wandering in silence
until footsteps march no further

#mountain

the woman asked, approaching timidly.

A #mountain of questions materialized in Amy's head. /Are you scared of me? What's behind that door? Who was the man who went back there? Do you trust him? Should I trust him?/ She wanted to ask them all, all at once, but she couldn't. #vss365 #writing

When you cannot
climb the #mountain,
carve your face upon the rock.

When you’ll never
reach the summit ‘cause
your standard at the dock.

Take pleasure in the passerby,
enjoy the fountain of their
eyes, and learn from it—
you don’t need to scramble
to be good stock.

If you sit on the left, you'll get a better view of the #mountain when we land.

Standing in my way, blocking me
a #mountain so tall and wide too
staring down at me with a smirk
till I slam this pick in its hide
standing there, with crossed eyes
neutered and docile now #vss365

when the #mountain is too high
why do we feel a need to try
& climb what's impossible

is it because we're afraid
failure will invade our dream
stopping it from coming true

why not find a better way
to turn your grey sky blue

Friday! My the week flies by. Pause time and muse time on a busy afternoon #vss365 #haiku
Dappled moonlit vales
Traverse her #mountain passes
Navigate those charms

sunsets behind black
#mountain peaks capped a snowy
white clouds turn to grey

Emma gazes at the old photo of herself atop a #mountain. Now the only mountain she faces is the washing.
Back then she was debating marrying Ben. Now it’s, “Wash a pair of his jeans or literally everything else?”
“Marry his lanky ass,” she whispers.
“Wash everything else,” the photo replies. #vss365

To dream of dreams
Where we are free
Living fairy tales and fantasies
A sea of flowers
Beneath the trees
That mirror in the loch
As we gaze
At crisp snow above
On mighty #mountain tops
In this meadow below
We can breathe our dreams to life
A place of peace
For all to thrive
