There is nothing so beautiful
As a moment offered in whole
To the act of creation
Except perhaps
One given
To love

Creating the Divine
The beauty
Of existence
Seems not always
Beautiful
Of existence
Seems not always
Beautiful
I discover the divine
Through smoke haze
Muted tones
And hidden features
Seek the clarity
Beneath the murk
Colourless moments
Can be vivid
I remind myself
Create the divine
From the apparent
Mundane
The Mere Fact of Existence
Feeling the arc of Earth
Below me
Atmosphere
Thick with sky
Below me
Atmosphere
Thick with sky
Crossing terrain and distance
The minutes pass as days once did
For greater men than me
When only Prometheus
Had tested the sky
The land rolls by
All the while stoking awe
Not just for historical men
Bound to Earth
Also for this small speck of stone
This mote of blue
With its invisible billions
In an incomprehensible emptiness
Then, awe too for this small speck of flesh
His hubris of no small magnitude
Believing he matters at all
For the mere fact of knowing his existence
His feeble attempt for eternity
Words released into the twin fantasies
Of consciousness and silicone
Inexorable Intent
Necessity creates
Necessity destroys
Necessity destroys
Intentional purpose
Inexorable decay
Dynamic tension
Eternally entwined
Shaping Clouds
It surprises me
Sometimes
Which words reach
Which words do not
Which pix are loved
Which pix are not
Sometimes
Which words reach
Which words do not
Which pix are loved
Which pix are not
Sometimes
I know
Sometimes not
Which will touch
Which will not
Surprised, too
Often
By how they are read
By what is seen
By others
Making Home
It was a world not my own
With its weak red star
And its amber sky
The always cloud
And the never rain
With its weak red star
And its amber sky
The always cloud
And the never rain
But we’d brought our seeds
Planted our trees
Spread our grasses
Harvested the carbon
To surface the roads
To refine the fuel
To run our cars
Until
But for a few facts
Of geology
Meteorology
And astronomy
It was a world
Just like home
Nature’s World
Oh have I travelled
Far from home
To other worlds
Beyond imagination
Far from home
To other worlds
Beyond imagination
But never left
My own backyard
Nor taxed my powers
Of creation
Just let Nature
Take her course
Then revel in
Her machinations
Geometry ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #67
With arc and sphere
With line and square
I fix the world
In sight and mind
The world I build
Becomes this kind
With line and square
I fix the world
In sight and mind
The world I build
Becomes this kind
While Nature’s skilled
Geometry
Is rarely square
Organically
Math more complex
So beautifully
The World as I dream
Although I must live
In the world as it is
I work to create
The world as I dream
In the world as it is
I work to create
The world as I dream
The Creativity of Destruction
There is creation
In every act of change
Even the most destructive
In every act of change
Even the most destructive
I seek the frame
In which destruction’s beauty
Can be seen
