The Camel Without a Hump
No hump yet she survived
The Camel Without a Hump
In sunlit sands where shadows play,
A camel walked, in her own way.
No towering hump upon her back,
Yet grace she found along the track.
The others stared, with humps held high,
Questioning how she’d get by.
They stored their fat for journeys long,
But she just hummed a simple song.
“I may not have a hump,” said she,
“But still, the desert’s home to me.
I find my shade, I sip the dew,
There’s more than one path to pursue.”
For in this world, diverse and wide,
It’s not our form, but what’s inside.
Each creature has its unique grace,
A special role, a valued place.

A Ukrainian Flag On Castleberg Crag
The war in Ukraine is still going on, and I was heartened to see the Ukrainian Flag, Blue and Yellow Flying over Castleberg Crag. That thought was a self-writing Haiku and therefore a fourth entry from me to the Blue Haiku Challenge on Vocal. I also included the Pink Floyd song - Hey Hey Rise Up (feat. Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox) which if you buy a copy donates to the cause.

The Cave Part 11
Darkness, and the countless points of light, as if the entire void beyond was filled with the fire of a million stars. I felt as if I was staring into the eternity of a night sky beyond those wooden doors, the place beyond the actual reality, while I stood behind a curtain of scenery, the mountain and sky a mere pretense. And in that void beyond of unfathomable space, there hung suspended a mighty shard of crystal floating in place, with hundreds of a far smaller chunks orbiting around it in balanced but intersecting circles, no two in the same path. These caught the light from the center, and sparkled with inner fire each.
