Oh
The many beauties
Of ageing
Photographically Inspired Writing

Peeling
I study the frame
Seek the beauty
In the broken
The decrepit
And ugly
Seek the beauty
In the broken
The decrepit
And ugly
I find it
Almost always
A lesson as valuable
For the photographer
As for the pilgrim
Curtain Call
Beleaguered pier
Time chastened
Weather beaten
Time chastened
Weather beaten
A formation
Of pilings
Long past utility
Though still
They throw
A striking pose
Just before
The curtain
Falls
Rock to Sea to Sky
From rock to rock
Across the sea
Beneath the sky
Across the sea
Beneath the sky
The rugged land
A windward lee
And as the ripples
Lap the shore
The air, it riffles
Through my hair
Now calm descends
Upon my brow
My heart
In gentle rhythm
With the waves
Sun warms my face
This life like art
No better hand
Could wield a brush
Paint such perfection
On my soul
Stochastic
Little dots of existence
Racking up time and substance
From pointillistic nothings
Racking up time and substance
From pointillistic nothings
Lines & Words
I love
how a brush stroke
or a phrase
can create
an icon
how few lines
or words
are required
to tell a story
and how every story
and every icon
means something different
to everyone
Finding the Steel
Beaten
Crushed
Defeated
Crushed
Defeated
I find the steel
Within
To go on
