week 374 ~ it’s hard to stop when you’re rolling downhill

it’s hard to stop when you’re rolling downhill
despite boulders trees and cliffs in your way
you’ll probably reach the bottom what will
happen then good bad unprepared that day
awaits somewhere still undetermined yet
inevitable what will it feel like
to lie looking at the sky and then get
up assess damages and start to hike
where back to the familiar or ahead
to the unknown or stop right where you are
and not try to fix anything instead
wait for the dawning of night’s brightest star
and watch the clouds move away carrying
their patch of blue as if it’s everything

week 341 ~ there are many dreams on the line

there are many dreams on the line
today luckily most come true
no missteps past regrets we do
what we expected to we divine
our horizons sliding past fine
pushing beyond acceptable
to just as intended hearts full
of joy for those we love who are
soaring toward their distant star
fired by kinetic potential
