Six Word Fridays - Purple

Today my post is being linked to Adrienne's blog hop, Six Word Fridays - Purple.  There are a lot of different directions this post could have gone, but I finally settled on one.

Sunset questions arise in setting sun 

Purple mountains majestically dividing the plains,

displaying sunset in orange and pink,

causing one to pause and look,

to ponder the day, to think,

the sod so difficult to dig,

the child buried five miles back,

mustn't show my tears, not now,

food sparingly doled, before we lack,

will next water hole be far,

will it be near the trail,

will we find shade there too,

what will crossing the mountains entail,

will we get to the place,

questions, yes questions, spoken and unsaid, 

trying to disturb faith and belief,

before heading to prepared earthen bed.
