A picture and 10 minutes

Breath-taking peaks
veiled in wispy clouds
a narrow valley
shadowed by it's depth

I want to walk the valley
I want to wander the slopes
I want to push aside the clouds
And linger long at the peaks.

Balance

Living in the Real
Seeking the Ideal,
Striving for Balance

Wandering & wondering

Looking back at my life
How did I get to here?
It was small steps
with, to, and for
people who meant a lot

Sad enough to say,

 that you will never see

How you changed my way

Or what you meant to me

Just like those
who came before

Never saw me

as you saw me.

One of; None of

I often miss being your

   one and only

Although I'd rather be

   one of many

Than as I am now as

  none of any.

Embracing mistakes

I've apologized,
I've explained,

all to no avail
what the hell,

time to choose
nothing left to lose

by embracing it
and then leaving it

Painful paths

Ending an old path can be painful,
Beginning a new path can be more so.

One knows how the old will end,
and the paths to get there are few:
....all you have to do is pick one and follow it.

New paths are many,
and their ends are unknown.
... just like when one began on the path that is ending....

I got this poem back from a pen-pal in response to the other (overnight no less).  I was very flattered.So I translated & put it in a picture.
