Starlight ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #271
A light which burned
For ten short years
Burned thrice as bright
And yet…
unseen
Like beacons in
The darkened sky
Which lived and died
Aeons ago
But whose light
Has reached us
…Only now
Though in that beam
Cast by hands and heart
Long gone
My spirits rise
I find again
…Delight
In starry starry night
Valley of Lassitude
From the valley floor
Yearn for the peaks
And high mountain passes
Yearn for the peaks
And high mountain passes
Though the paths I see
Attain neither peak nor pass
Trapped in this valley of lassitude
Loss ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #199
From time to time we lose
People, places and things
We love
People, places and things
We love
In the absence
Recollections induce the bittersweet
With time, perhaps, becoming less bitter than sweet
Losses lightened
By the moments, words and images
We’ve captured
The joys once lived
Remain in our memories
And in our hearts
In the empty spaces
Something new, perhaps
Something new to love
A Part of Myself
I put a part of myself
A deepest part
Up on a wall
For any and all to see
A deepest part
Up on a wall
For any and all to see
Ambivalence
Trepidation
Uncertainty
Too much?
Too dark?
Too bleak?
For a bistro?
Until a voice says
“That is me, up there
On your wall.”
Photography

As a photographer
I have never been satisfied with
Two dimensions
A single moment in time
Or even reality
I prefer
To create
Rather than
Record
Light is my palette
A digital file my canvas
A computer my brush
And all the world
Is beautiful data
To be transformed into art
Harmony in Word and Form
I apologize, everyone, for being AWOL these past few weeks, and for not posting Pic and a Word Challenges. But I do have some exciting news.
All of my creative energy has been directed toward completing preparations to hang a gallery exhibit featuring photographs, stories and poems selected from Pix to Words. Very exciting! And a much larger task than I allowed myself to believe.
Lots of new stuff coming as a result. When things calm down after the opening (perhaps a bit during … stay tuned to the Facebook Pix to Words page if I can manage some live feed from the reception.)
Pic and a Word should return August 26th, the day after the Opening Reception.
Thanks for your patience!
And wish me luck. =)

With the house lights up
It’s easy to notice
The styrofoam
Its imperfections
The flecks of white
Where it’s chipped
It’s easy to notice
The styrofoam
Its imperfections
The flecks of white
Where it’s chipped
The night woods
So dark
The sunny day
So bright
We master the light
Know the science, the art
The secrets of magic
