Fragments
Of a conversation
Unheard
Of a conversation
Unheard
My mind
Fills the emptiness
Unspoken
Creates
Stories imagined but

Mask ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #188
Even in
This gathering of
Strangers
I put on a mask
Don my armour of
Anonymity
Revealing only the self
I want you to see
This gathering of
Strangers
I put on a mask
Don my armour of
Anonymity
Revealing only the self
I want you to see
A shadow
In the darkness
Of multitudes
Moments in Other Moments
Moments in moments
Two moments captured by mine
Caught in another
Two moments captured by mine
Caught in another
Eternities wrought
With the release of shutters
Thrice in a moment
Whimsy
Ah,
The whimsy
Of a few curved lines
And a stencil
In an obscure corner
Of hard edges
And some distress
Meaning indecipherable
But for the inexplicable smile
It brings
To my being
The whimsy
Of a few curved lines
And a stencil
In an obscure corner
Of hard edges
And some distress
Meaning indecipherable
But for the inexplicable smile
It brings
To my being
Confined
Imprisoned
Confined
By politics
Extreme and
Everyday
Confined
By politics
Extreme and
Everyday
Barred
Unbarred
No difference
Constricted
Patterns of
Thought and being
Restricted
By others and
Self
Freed
First from
Within
Lead
Only when
Freed
Blues Transformed
In spring
When browns and ice
Of winter’s deathly sleep
Recede
When browns and ice
Of winter’s deathly sleep
Recede
Life renews
Thus even deepest blues
Transform
Become such vibrant hues
Reborn
As hope to those awakening
Another Time
From another time
Gaze upon another world
From another time
Gaze upon another world
From another time
The Mere Fact of Existence
Feeling the arc of Earth
Below me
Atmosphere
Thick with sky
Below me
Atmosphere
Thick with sky
Crossing terrain and distance
The minutes pass as days once did
For greater men than me
When only Prometheus
Had tested the sky
The land rolls by
All the while stoking awe
Not just for historical men
Bound to Earth
Also for this small speck of stone
This mote of blue
With its invisible billions
In an incomprehensible emptiness
Then, awe too for this small speck of flesh
His hubris of no small magnitude
Believing he matters at all
For the mere fact of knowing his existence
His feeble attempt for eternity
Words released into the twin fantasies
Of consciousness and silicone
Red ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #187
Red wing and moonlight
Homeward bound this red-eye flight
Travel ejection
Homeward bound this red-eye flight
Travel ejection
La Solidaritat La Nostra Millor Arma
Resistance no more
This is an image
Of revolution
A call to arms
For the repressed
In Catalonia
This is an image
Of revolution
A call to arms
For the repressed
In Catalonia
An image, too
For us
We have been the prey
Separated from the pack
Divided
Kept down
Exploited
Dominated
Fed upon
By the fat cats
La Solidaritat
La Nostra Millor
Arma
Solidarity
Is our best
Weapon
Run them off
We have the numbers
We have the power
