Awed by the imagination of others
I am inspired to create
Without boundary
Or fear

Mass ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #221
Heavier even than Earth
Yet I soar
A majestic dirigible
Yet I soar
A majestic dirigible
Laden with history
And regrets
Lofted by hope
And purpose
Levied by love
And compassion
Most days I carry the weight
Lightly, aloft
Some days I cannot leave the berth
Tethered, grounded
So I touch the Earth
Am grateful for its stability
That I always have a place to land
Rest, and free myself of burdens
Then breathe deeply
Filled and empty
I take to the skies again
Shadow ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #182
Arms wide beckoning
All of being
Dark to light
All of being
Dark to light
Illumined texture
Shadowed depth
Through synthesis, form
So am I expressed
Unconfined
By black or white
No, I: all the subtle tones
Of possibility
Texture ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #166
All the many greys
Timbres in a spectrum visual
Timbres in a spectrum visual
Monochromatic textures
In untouchable dimensions
Which I nonetheless
Touch
Curtain Call
Beleaguered pier
Time chastened
Weather beaten
Time chastened
Weather beaten
A formation
Of pilings
Long past utility
Though still
They throw
A striking pose
Just before
The curtain
Falls
Selfless Selfie In Between
I climb the stairs
Get turned around
Wonder which
Up or down
Light’s everywhere
Caught between
Transitioning
Where do I
Belong
Get turned around

Time and Change
I stand on the edge
Of a hundred million years
Changing, changing, changing
Always change
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
Waves
The wave rolls and rolls and rolls
Having crested well out to sea
Up the long, shallow beach
Never with much force
Having crested well out to sea
Up the long, shallow beach
Never with much force
Foamy leading edge
Losing momentum
Energy fading
It hangs
Still
Just
A moment
The Retreat
She retreated
Not because the waves
Had come perilously close
Nor because the wind
Made it difficult to stand
Not because the waves
Had come perilously close
Nor because the wind
Made it difficult to stand
She retreated because she had come
To feel the tumult of the ocean
To feel the battering of the wind
To feel the beauty of violence
Without consciousness
This is why she came here
And for a while
It was beautiful
And calming
Monochrome Chaos
Simplified to monochrome
The world remains chaotic
And seeing it in black and white
Obscures the details of its tumult
The world remains chaotic
And seeing it in black and white
Obscures the details of its tumult
So too the beauty of the world
Its colour makes it vibrant
And lacking subtle textures
Diminishes its glory
