The Climb
The Climb
The climb steep and laborious Each footstep begged the question Why? A decision not made lightly Thought given carefully knowing a price would be paid for overworked extremities When not one more breath could be drawn Nor one more bead of sweat would dampen the skin the terrain changed The pinnacle had been reached and the vista a sight for sore eyes and limbs A carpet of purple heather Regal in color and luxurious in its density Swaying gently, leaning into the summer wind A gasp of surprise Aches and pains a distant memory as the prize is claimed Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © In response to Sue Vincent’s Weekly Write/Photo
Colors of the Heart
Colors of the Heart
Purple has become
the new color of my heart
Once red with passion
now bruised with your blues
A splattered abstract art
The combination of colors
is resulting in a different hue
The mix is not compatible
and a coalescence will not form
into a heart that will remain true
A perfect blending of shades
would bring harmony to the soul
Balancing the energy
Repairing the heart
Before it becomes as black as coal

Terrain
Terrain
Gorse covered mountains
Heather of purple tangled
In between craggy rocks
Just to please the eyes
Kaleidoscope of shapes and colors
Lingering memories the prize
