the last blank April 2022 Poetic Asides Challenge 29-2

 

The last time I saw you

I told you not to die.

You didn’t listen.

The Last Trip

 

The last trip I took

was one of the best.

Now I’m home

and taking a rest.

 

The next on the list?

To Kenya, I’ll aim.

Or perhaps to Ashville.

Who am I to blame?

 

For this wander lust

that’s perpetually within me.

World exploration

helps form my reality.

 

Giraffes and elephants

They’re calling.

Hope this pandemic doesn’t

keep travels stalling.

 

The last trip I took,

I hope’s not the last.

I look forward to others

and having a blast.

Worship

 

The little wooden church

huddled amongst the elms and pines.

A path led through the grasses to where

the morning sun turned the door golden.

The spire pointed up, inviting a higher focus.

Meeting

 

The giant gnarled trees

allowed a road to pass through

to where a couple stood silhouetted

in the glowing sunlight.

 Headed Home

 

Cat of nine tails poked up

by a rustic dock,

looking out to a silver lake.

A flock of gulls headed toward

the sun glowing orange

in the creamy sky

above a flat shoreline.

Life’s an act of faith

Moving a step at a time

A prayer at a time

Knocking on Your door

Entrusting my heart’s desires

Thanks for opening
