THE CHALLENGE
Edit only if you think something has slipped below generally acceptable levels of decency.
Wild-
Wild is the way wind and the rain sculpt her out of insubstantial to substantial, bringing the flash and rumble of winter storms into the limitless depths of his heart. It is the echo of raptor’s screams as she nears, harrowing storm clouds like mythic Huntsmistresses of old.
No one had ever known wild as he has known wild. Bucking bronco across the rim of the canyon, swimming whitewater, drowning into the depths of dark and deep and mystery vaster than the far reaches of outer space. Smaller than the careless pinprick of his fingertip, dripping blood across fungi laced and lying deep, connecting the world from below, demons fingers in the dark.

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 42
Time
the most intriguing part of life
the mute spectator
still being held for
whatever happens to us.
time is running slow
time is flying by
time is bad
time is good
time to born
time to die
time, the poor fellow is
always held responsible
ups and downs
in one’s life
but the beauty of time lies not in
giving too much of your time, or
giving less of your time
but
making a balance
