pelt in the dark stream,
its chiming distance muting
nadirs and zeniths,

Guarded; (Thursday Photo Prompt #writephoto)

The Unanswerable (#VJWC)
My favourite quotes have long included “Do not fear death, fear the inadequate life.” Long the unanswerable question that lurks on the edges started roaring loudly.

Where I was once in tranquil calm
Amid the greens, where waters flow
In long-lost summers’ timeless balm,
In soft repose, so long ago …
