Walking The Line

This entry is part 8 of 8 in the series Promptings, Inklings, & Clues

Walking the line

Pushing the envelope. Pulling my weight. Dreading what’s next. The other shoe must fall. Awakening the dragon. Pulling no punches. Forgetting what’s past. Opening the door. Looking for loopholes. Pressing on through. Scanning the horizon. Playing the word game. Walking the dog. Closing the door. Stretching my neck. Massaging her feet. Rolling them bones. Breaking my heart. Killing the beast. Keeping the change.

The way into your heart

Beauty and mystery pretending they love you. Telling a story that strums your heartstrings. Calling your name and promising release. Convincing arguments for a happily ever after. Perceptions of the heart seldom carry the story to completion. A calling abandoned to earthly delights. Destiny diverted into a labyrinth of debauchery and calamity. Escaping purpose in exchange for a fiery trial of danger and misery. Until you return to the source, seeking healing and nourishment. Where you find salvation, restoration, and hope.

Perhaps…

Let it all go. Start anew… Fresh and furious. Alive and kicking. The first day of the rest of your life. Finishing well. The finish line. The end of the day. The remains of the story. A story I can tell. A story I know well. A story meant to be told. A story so bold. A crazy beginning. A dangerous place. A mysterious shadow. Nefarious choices fall short of the promise. Don’t stop believing. You can make it your own. But you can’t make it on your own.
