Trail

Trail

As we trudge life’s treacherous trail

That might be going nowhere

With you as my companion

We might just end up somewhere

For each blind leap of faith

I value our shared camaraderie

In your friendship I trust

It was never mandatory

When you are tired

I will take the lead

And carry you

If there is ever a need

Footsteps side by side

Shoulder to shoulder resilience

Leaning on each other

Impossible to outshine brilliance

Meeting

by Christine Bolton • September 21, 2018 • 10 Comments

Meeting

The coolness of the marble
Soothed her feeling of duress
Waiting patiently for the outcome
She smoothed down her dress

Looking quickly in her compact
She checked her hair
A stray wisp had escaped
Giving her an eclectic flair

The museum was quiet
She gazed at the artwork
Standing in front of the painting
Her face creased to a smirk

She knew he was there
As his presence was felt
Turning she saw him
And her body began to melt

She had left a trail
Knowing he would follow
He had pursued willingly
Finding her at the Picasso

He said her name out loud
By the sound she was awed
He said with authority
“You are under arrest for art fraud”

Eyes Wide Open – Week 7

by Christine Bolton • August 25, 2018 • 4 Comments

Good Morning!

I am really enjoying my own weekly challenges. Each day I am out running I make sure that I capture anything that nature presents or is pleasing to my eyes. I’m rarely disappointed.

This is what I discovered this week taken with an iPhone. Have a great Saturday and Keep Your Eyes Wide Open!

I wasn’t going to, but thanks for the reminder!

“Unconditional Surrender” – 25 foot statue on our Bayfront

Someone left a million dollars on a bench! I thought it was a dollar bill when I first sat down. Fascinated, I turned it over and learned that I could be “saved”. I doubt that, so I left it for the next person to find.

Enjoy what you see!
