Columbus

Revered & Reviled
A man of his time
Ahead of his time
Discoverer & Destroyer
Of worlds

A harbinger
Of things to come
Of times extant
Of days which always were
And may always be

Until we find our way
To a better way
Create a better world

Patterns, Museu de les Ciències, Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, Valencia, Spain

Patterns of Opposites

I try to follow
The myriad lines
Creating the myriad forms
Regular and irregular
Symmetric and asymmetric
A cacophony of harmonies
Patterns within broken patterns
Broken again to form patterns

In them the complexity of life
Perfect imperfection
Destabilized and fortified
A confusion of order
A diffusion of resolution

I breathe in
The beauty of opposites
Comprising the oneness
Of being

Center of Being, Central Market, Valencia, Spain

Central Being

The light
At the center of it all
Like a beacon
Calling me
To the nature of
Existence

Experienced
With a deep breath
And a quiet mind
Which knows nothing
Believes naught
Open to all

Possibility

Saints and Angels, The Chancery and domes, Valencia Cathedral, Spain

Grounding in Heaven

Gaze rising
To metaphorical heavens
Where grace and splendour
Ground me to Earth
And this moment

Abstract Fish, Palau De Les Arts, Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, Valencia, Spain

Earth Day

I dreamt there’d be a day
In some none too distant future
When an architectural abstraction
Outlived all the fishes in the sea

Now I cannot sleep

dis connect, Barcelona Waterfront, Catalonia, Spain

dis connect ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #184

I look
Neither inward
Nor outward

I connect
Not with being
But a fetish

This realm
Of virtual
Manifestation

And while I look
And while I connect
I am lost

To the moment
To my own presence
To being itself

While all around
Existence dances and plays
Without my participation

Whimsy in blues and golds and balloons, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Whimsy is a Child

Whimsy in blues and balloons
Lines light and playful
As a child’s smile
In twilight illuminate
Mother impatient
For changing lights
Her girl content
With latex-captured breath
