It came as a shock
In the blur of a moment
So much could be lost

When Strangers Become Kin
Among the many magics
Of brandishing a camera
Amongst a crowd of strangers
Is that someone, always
Steps out of the crowd
Offers an intimate glimpse
Into the nature of their being
Of brandishing a camera
Amongst a crowd of strangers
Is that someone, always
Steps out of the crowd
Offers an intimate glimpse
Into the nature of their being
In that instant of friendship
The camera records a kind of kinship
Which is eternal and universal
I think every photographer must know
We are all much more alike
Than we are different
Breathing
Held down
Choking smog
Escape delayed
Hours long
Choking smog
Escape delayed
Hours long
Runway clears
Now aloft
Miles high
Above the smog
Crisp blue sky
First in weeks
Smogless air
First I’ve breathed
Privilege
I remind myself
Often
Even in times like these
Especially in times like these
Just how privileged my life became
Often
Even in times like these
Especially in times like these
Just how privileged my life became
By a simple accident of birth
Marking Her Presence
In the grand moments
Of golden glories
It is easy to miss
The subtler wonders
Like a small ship
Making her way
Across the gleaming sea
Marking her presence
In the vastness
Of golden glories
It is easy to miss
The subtler wonders
Like a small ship
Making her way
Across the gleaming sea
Marking her presence
In the vastness
Something to Watch Over Us
I am grateful to have learned
Beyond any shadow of a doubt
That something greater than I or any one
Watches over us
Beyond any shadow of a doubt
That something greater than I or any one
Watches over us
That there is a purpose to my being
To my existence
Here in this time and place
That I get more than one shot
At finding that purpose
And bringing it to life
Awe ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #224
Ageless roil
Tide incoming
Hardened shore
Tide incoming
Hardened shore
I trundle along the escarpment
Of this thin edge of immensity
Immersed in the awe
Of all that I do not yet know
And the greater mystery
Of all that I will never know
Thus is the curse
And the beauty
Of consciousness
Untaken ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #223
For the artist
Every photograph untaken
Every brush stroke unpainted
Every stanza unwritten
Every story untold
A small darkness left unilluminated
Connections ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #222
The sun ebbs
Drawing the sky blue curtain
Infinity revealed
Drawing the sky blue curtain
Infinity revealed
Here we draw together
To feel the connection
Through all that is
To each other
Asymmetrical Balance
Sometimes
No, often
It is in asymmetry
That I find balance
And beauty
No, often
It is in asymmetry
That I find balance
And beauty
