Sometimes
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better

30 Seconds
The light falls fast
While I setup the camera
Darker and darker
As I extend tripod legs
While I setup the camera
Darker and darker
As I extend tripod legs
Quick glances to the valley below
Hoping for enough light
To capture the clouds in the valley
To find detail in the trees
And the valley mist
Finally, set up
And capturing frames
When I begin to notice
As one light fails
Another rises
A little old boat
I rest
Moored securely in the calm waters
Harried by the rain, a little bit
But that’s OK
It’s only rain
And I can while away the hours
The days
Until the next time I sail
Moored securely in the calm waters
Harried by the rain, a little bit
But that’s OK
It’s only rain
And I can while away the hours
The days
Until the next time I sail
A little old
A little weary
I can rest here
Be in this peaceful moment
What’s a little rain
A little discomfort
After a life of so many storms
The World as I dream
Although I must live
In the world as it is
I work to create
The world as I dream
In the world as it is
I work to create
The world as I dream
Learning to See
I walk the world that is
Seeking the world that could be
If only I could learn to see it
Seeking the world that could be
If only I could learn to see it
Here and there, now and again
Exploration yields discovery
Not of a new world
But a new way of seeing
Sparkle
It sparkled like a sequined dress
Under party lights
A night you don’t confess
Under party lights
A night you don’t confess
But there, above, a brooding cloud
Foreboding sight
And, by the morn’, a looming shroud
Faery Breath
The mist roiled down the valley
Flowing through the trees
Like faery breath
Settling over the village
Whose inhabitants slept
A night of aimless dreams
Then awoke with the terrors
Of the previous days
Quietly rescinded
Flowing through the trees
Like faery breath
Settling over the village
Whose inhabitants slept
A night of aimless dreams
Then awoke with the terrors
Of the previous days
Quietly rescinded
Gone from memory
As if
They’d never
Happened
Formidable
There is nothing quite so formidable
As monumental terrain
In unfriendly weather
As monumental terrain
In unfriendly weather
Cloudy Canvas
A million people carried on
Each inhabiting their own little world
Oblivious to the city lights
Painting impressionistic abstracts
On the night sky’s cloudy canvas
Each inhabiting their own little world
Oblivious to the city lights
Painting impressionistic abstracts
On the night sky’s cloudy canvas
Hunting in the Dark for Light
I go hunting in the dark
For light, I find
Where eyes see naught
For light, I find
Where eyes see naught
For in the darkness
Beauty thrives
Captured here by glassy eyes
