Landscape, Olympus OM-2, Poetry
by Patrick Jennings

Seeing in the Brightness

Sunset, Mojave Desert, Route 66, California, United States of America
Sometimes
The light seems too bright
So I seek
The respite of darkness

I remind myself
The darkness is always present
Even in the brightest light
Its balance is available

I remind myself
The light is not too bright
Rather my eyes remain
Accustomed to the darkness

Mojave Sunset
