Blur
I am but a blur
Passing through the periphery
Of this world of men
Passing through the periphery
Of this world of men
Until their eyes
Are trained on me
And I become a creature
Of penetrating interest
A creature
Which is not me
At all
Better the blur
Catalunya
A place in the world
Embattled and oppressed
Like so many other
Places in the world
Nonetheless
Vibrant, passionate, alive
Embattled and oppressed

Worlds I Can’t Imagine
I see the world
In ways my ancestors
Could not imagine
In ways my ancestors
Could not imagine
But I wonder too
At the worlds now gone
I cannot imagine
Beautiful Blur
Sometimes
It’s a blur
All of it
As if through a window
Stained by fog and rain
It’s a blur
All of it
As if through a window
Stained by fog and rain
A beautiful blur
For which clarity
Is not always
An improvement
Courage ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #180
We span the ages
you and I
across all sense
of time and space
our stories twine
you and I
across all sense
of time and space
our stories twine
And I can’t say
where it began
or where it ends
or if it ever will
It drives you to
the edge of mad
(where you found me)
but with your ever
growing faith
it’s clear
Life is not so
rational
as you would like
Discontinuous
In fact
Time sometimes goes
from front to back
while space folds in
upon itself
and plops you down
in the middle of
you know not
what
Yet still you stand
amidst the fray
(such dark embrace)
to write these words
you promised me
Love is not so
rational
as you would like
But its beauty
drives you still
Haze ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #179
Through the haze
Of day I peer
Of day I peer
Now what is near
Seems quite clear
But far from here
Is more obscure
Detail lost
Colour sallowed
Though sun breaks through
Its presence mellowed
Yet, still
Sunrise ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #178
I let the day go
Leave the past
In the past
Leave the past
In the past
As the harsh light fades
I live in the magic glow
Of this brief moment
Let the darkness come
Like closed eyes
And a deep breath
A new glory follows
A light to be filled
With possible moments
Upriver ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #177
Against both tide and current
Headway slow and steady
Though the river hurries by
Headway slow and steady
Though the river hurries by
