Today at RDP, we are asked to share a story,
poem, photo, painting, essay, etc., focusing
on the word ‘scree’. Here’s my take.
As the hiker made her way up the steep mountain path, the scree beneath her feet shifted unpredictably. With each step, she felt the loose rocks sliding beneath her, threatening to send her tumbling down the slope. She pressed on, determined to reach the summit.

Keep stepping forward, don’t look back …
Shadows Fall (a Musette)
Don’t stop
Do not look back
Leaves drop
Shadows
Do not create
Meadows
Walk tall
Don’t look beyond
Nightfall
