This rock is now my home, a place
I travel on, through outer space

A flight to galaxies, still unknown
Adventures, by myself, alone

Standing in the open air
I see Jupiter, floating there

Watching me, a leery eye
As I go quietly, drifting by

In awe of all the mysteries
On this planet, I can see

Ribbons of waves across, a band
Could I ever walk this land?

Shall I journey far across?
And glide, just like an albatross

In an atmosphere, unconfined
Perhaps, a chance to just unwind

Or should I stay here, bide my time
In this universe, quiet sublime

A door unopened, here remains
Through sharpest winds and icy rains

Where it leads, I do not know
Perhaps it’s only here for show

But what is that, a creature there?
Who looks completely unaware

Nary a movement does he make
I don’t think that he’s awake!!

I’ll walk ever quietly, to the door
This one I’ve never been before

Slowly, so he does not rouse
Toward the door, just let him drowse

Pray, the hinges will not creak
When I open the portal to take a peek

 

This gate was in the middle of nowhere on a nature trail.  The little creature is actually the root system from a fallen tree!!

A Sneak Peek into “Devil’s Pond”

Good morning!  I’d like to share the synopsis of a novel I’m working on, titled “Devil’s Pond“.  I hope it leaves you wanting more 🙂

magma_by_dukie523a
They were inseparable. Five young friends whose sense of adventure usually got them into trouble. This time was no different. Venturing out into what would turn out to be a stormy night, they headed for an area they were told was off limits. The sand lot was a forbidden place, a place no one spoke of, where no one dared step foot on, until now. Intrigue ruled out over warnings and a game of hide and seek commenced. Until one remained hidden.

As the storm bears down on them, they run, frightened for themselves and their missing friend. Not caring about the consequences that would await them, they quickly gather their parents to explain. But something is wrong. Baffled, the children wonder why Father Tom is the one to arrive first. Why isn’t anyone calling the police? How will their friend ever be found? And what price will they pay for getting too close to Devil’s Pond?

Friday Fantasy ~ Soon

She rises from the waters
Her ethereal being flows

Billowing silken threads
Shadows in the throes

Of muddied liquid ripples
Chilled, against her skin

A soul, that’s buried far below
Her spirit, deep within

The sands of time, forever
She withstands, her body frail

Searching for the one she loves
Will she, at last, prevail?

She’ll rise again, tomorrow
In hopes, she’ll see him soon

Standing where she saw him last
Beneath the Harvest Moon

Let me dance on a world, left suspended in air

Leap to another, and wonder just where

The clouds will have taken me, long past the night

I am floating about, on a heavenly flight

Where my feet can no longer touch upon ground

And my world just keeps spinning, round and round

Where I am attune, with no longer a care

To the infinite, my soul, is transcending there
