Detail ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #151
Subtlety and nuance
Lovely and enthralling
I follow the forms
Savour the textures
Delight in the harmonics
Of ever-changing repetitions
Lost in the detail
Context and meaning
Evasive and fractured
I swirl in a sea of the minute
Fruitlessly distracted
Diverted from the present
By endless possibilities
So must I be alert
To the scale of perception
Find the balance between
A piece and the whole
A detail and its meaning
An event and its context
Where the Circle Ends
There it ends
Then we must
Begin again
Circle
Unbroken
The round
Complete
Then round
And round
And round
Again
Until I step
Upon a path
Some may say
Leads me astray
Love Grace Beauty Meaning
By the things we
construct
create
imagine
For
love
grace
beauty
meaning
Utility
Matters little
To me
Except
In a tool
For creation
Past and Present
The back roads
The scenic routes
In the off-season
I love the places
Which carry the past
Into the present
Better still, the places where
Past and present co-exist
Without need for justification
This Golden Touch
I reach for Earth
Connect to it
And all that is
With quiet mind
Become as one
With everything
Reflections
I see
What others cannot see
In me
In others
I see
Another reflection
Of me
Sometimes
I see
Neither mirror reflects
Real me
If I shut my eyes
I see
The me I am without need
To be
Sunset & Minaret
What more need be said
But for the hundreds who
Meander through
The tranquil peace
This evening grace
Within the shadow of
Perfection
Reflections ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #81
Now stand in awe
Before a wonder
Of the world
Then turn around
To discover
Yet another wonder
Leaves me to wonder
How many others
Reflect upon this other
