Creativity ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #95

I love being in a place
Where creativity thrives
Where paint and passion
Offer more vibrance and colour
Than nature’s grandest sunsets

Sometimes
It is not the water
Which troubles me
But the bridge

Held fast
In anticipation
Of departure
Imminent

Not clinging
Preparing
To leap

It is a simple pier
On a rocky beach
The large stones worn smooth
By the rhythm of tides
And uncountable waves

Not a beach
For laying out towels
Basking in the sun
Building castles

In daylight
Pretty enough
As I drive by

A moment of repose
Beneath obscured half moon
In late twilight

Between
The day behind
The day ahead

When time
Is all
My own

A quiet
Internal
Revel

In the beauty
Of it
All

When the sun has left the sky
Impending night encroaching
On the very edge of dusk
Colours of refraction
Upon the sea reflected

I draw a breath
Feel the cool
Know the day
Is past

Transient Light
Magic Light

I carry a haul of ghosts
Along the paths I travel
Some recorded, for all time
And others a shadow memory

Each a fleeting moment
Seen in the context
Of another realm
And none too clearly

What they are
Where they are
Who they are

Preconceptions projected
Upon an object
Obscuring the features
Of the object

Symmetry denied by framing
Yet in smallest detail
Order unfettered

Under an empty sky
But for the lonesome crescent

And I
Becalmed
On the quiet sea
Furl my sails
Start the engine
Turn for home

To which I bring
This peaceful moment
