Work ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #195

Sometimes
The beauty
Of a moment
Takes the work
Out of the job

So I seek the beauty
In every moment

Every time I reach
Just a little beyond my grasp
I imagine myself a tower
With the pinnacle in my hand

All the world’s aflutter
For little girls
Fistfuls of birdseed
Their indiscriminate chaos

Such are the conditions
Of beautiful perfections

Laughter is the best
Medicine which means comics
Make the best healers

In the heat of the afternoon
Cafes and conversation
The men of the medina
Cling to the shade
While the tourists
Do not

Sometimes I squint
To smudge the world
Within my mind

Then paint upon
The softened scene
A different

Kind of magic

In the everyday
It’s the moments spent
With the ones we love
Which make our hearts lighter
The moments better
The living sweeter

I enter a world
Of delicious azures
Delightful turquoise
And jolly royals

Which gets me
To wondering
How is it thought so awful
To get the blues

Fragments
Of a conversation
Unheard

My mind
Fills the emptiness
Unspoken

Creates
Stories imagined but
Untold

Even in
This gathering of
Strangers
I put on a mask
Don my armour of
Anonymity
Revealing only the self
I want you to see

A shadow
In the darkness
Of multitudes
