ghost in the hollows
stone walls confining spirit
rise up to pass on

fortress ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #274
towers and citadels
ramparts and parapets
fortress on the hillside
set afire in the morning sun
battles fought
war rages on
death visits here
still more to come
one strong heart
with will of stone
resolve of iron
but moments late
her final breath
his broken cry
their eyes now glazed
with death and grief
reign of tears
a rain of years
for one still form
her light now passing
towers and citadels
ramparts and parapets
fortress on the hillside
with darkness do the losses come
time withers
all good hope
but for love’s
illuminance
five hundred years
lives pass along
’til one strong heart
revived by dreams
a love once lost
was born anew
he holds the hand
of one once dead
knows the heart
which then fell still
now beats again
in true love’s breast
time’s never still
nor linear
where once was love
love’s never lost
towers and citadels
ramparts and parapets
fortress on the hillside
rememb’ring love can’t be undone
Endurance & Tenacity
Tenacity we survived
Year 2020
Perfect Light
Of some many ecstasies
Epiphanies
And divine moments
Some linger longer
If only because
The light was perfect
And I had a camera
Morning Light
Lazily
Through the mist
Highlights fall
On leading edge
While shadows spread
Beyond the stone
On darkened seas
With riffling waves
Curling round
The citadels
Like cirrus clouds
In gentle skies
Blue on blue
White on white
The sea
The sky
In harmony
Violet
Behind my eyes
Followed on
The indigo
Which followed still
The cobalt blue
Where once was just
Obsidian
From the black
My spirit rose
Found the path
Where current flows
The energy
Connects us all
And me to me
The deepest part
I come to know
In violet light
Is bathed
Hope and Possibility
In a sunset
There is hope and possibility
In a sunrise
A Fortune of Time and Place
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
MacDonnell Ranges Ghost Gums
Gnarled
Rock and bough
Resilient

Selfie ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #137
Of line and form
We learned to tell
Our living story
Upon the wall
Of ancient cave

An early selfie
