In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love. ~Diego Marchi
It is
an awkward
yet graceful journey
the trek that each man
treads in this life. Where
the steps wind in different directions
but we all still head toward the same higher hall
Hoping for some joy and longing to be heard stepping ever
forward on steps our fathers forged. It is a passage worn with hardship
yet still remnants of the beautiful tapestry of life's estate.
So climb it's steps with all your fervor and hold the banister how you dare,
for you will have to brave some falls if you are truly going to get somewhere.
This is wonderful - profound and mesmerizing, actually. I've never seen anything quite like it before. Really just a brilliant, visual poem.

This is one of my favorites from this picture prompt. You captured it in form and in substance. Awkward yet graceful journey and tapestry of life's estate were some great lines.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, my friend. I love "remnants of the beautiful tapestry of life's estate" which so perfectly interprets the photo.
