The Friday Fictioneers virtually gather each Friday (and often on Wednesday and Thursday as well) to publish their 100-word pieces inspired by a picture prompt posted by Madison Woods on her blog. New writers are always welcome and you can read any or all of the other entries by clicking on the link at the end of my piece. The photo this week is by Sandra Cook.

The Journey
Life in eight haiku
Young and filled with hope
Gentle smooth wide path beckons
Birds singing in trees
Walking together
Joyful talk with much laughter
Sturdy trees grow close
Dangerous trail now
So slippery and narrow
Easy to plunge off
When I trip or fall
Your hands help me rise again
Sun’s rays warm us both
Dark verdant foliage
Tempting us to turn aside
Onto wayward path
Weary from our walk
Searching for flowered meadow
Welcome refreshment
Dark clouds overhead
Continuing side by side
Weathering the storms
Long journey ending
We reach the top together
Home awaits us there
