Hope and Possibility

Where there is romance and reminiscence
In a sunset
There is hope and possibility
In a sunrise

A Fortune of Time and Place

The sun settles softly into morning
Early, still quiet
I’m alone with the wind
With the waves
With my camera

I’ve seen a hundred shots
From just this spot
But none gifted with this light
Gifted with this atmosphere
Gifted with this glory

A fortune
Of time and place
Being there
In the moment
Camera in hand

Irony Tragedy Comedy
Today, this thought frightens me

I intend
To cross this barrenness
Knowing not what awaits
On the other side
Or if there is
An other side
I can reach

She struggled a little
Sometimes
To be noticed

To stand out
From the cacophony
Of life around her

But she knew
Who she was
And what she could do

And if others
Couldn’t see her
That was their problem

I stand on the edge
Of a hundred million years
Changing, changing, changing
Always change

One score and five thousand years ago
Human eyes came to see
Human hands learned to make

All our grandiose change
No match for nature’s hand
