Colours smooth (though lacking green)
Broken only by small clouds
Blemish on a model’s cheek
Mirrors ferry, homeward bound
I didn’t intend to write the following, it’s just what came out. It’s not really what the challenge called for, so I’ll go back and try that one again. But I thought it was worth posting anyway. . .so here it is.
1. There’s a spiritual sensation of connectedness I get from time to time, a few moments in time that feel as though I’m connected to and can sense the existence of all things, an awareness that there is a grand spiritual reality beyond my rational ken that is graspable by my ever developing being.
Now hardened black
In icy shroud
Ironic white
Beloved’s paean expressed
In exquisite
Architectural glory
Brought to ground
By notes of sorrow
Though beauty undiminished
The beauty of an amber sky
Belies a failure
Of political will
And the premature deaths
Of millons
Hints at
Beauties lushly graced
Forever lost
Long stripped away
So close my eyes
To fill the space
With grandeurs from
Another time
The road
From where I love
To where I love
Passes through
A world I love
An added vibrance
To the sky
Reminds me
Of your presence
The days a little brighter
The nights a little lighter
My life a little better
All for reasons
I cannot comprehend
No simple explanation
But a simple truth
My life a little better
