Ghosts ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #92
I carry a haul of ghosts
Along the paths I travel
Some recorded, for all time
And others a shadow memory
Along the paths I travel
Some recorded, for all time
And others a shadow memory
Each a fleeting moment
Seen in the context
Of another realm
And none too clearly
What they are
Where they are
Who they are
Preconceptions projected
Upon an object
Obscuring the features
Of the object
The Rudiments of Beauty
Oh, in this ugliness
I struggle to see
The beauty here
In a world
Of grim and grime
Of damage and refuse
The hard task
On this spirit path
Find the beauty
In all things
But there is colour
Form and texture
Elements underlie design
And the dynamic
Of a captured moment
In an old man’s morning
The Many Faces of Evil
I am fascinated
By the many faces of evil
Or, rather, the masks
Put on, not by the wearer
But by the eye and imagination
By the prejudice and will
Of individuals
And the masses
By the many faces of evil
Or, rather, the masks
Put on, not by the wearer
But by the eye and imagination
By the prejudice and will
Of individuals
And the masses
Evil is, so often
A quality of the namer
Rather than the named
On the Beauty of Tones & Textures
I am enthralled
With all of Earth
In its many tones
And textures
With all of Earth
In its many tones
And textures
Such varieties
Among societies
So much beauty
In its peoples
Nothing stuns me more
Than when some implore
There’s but room enough
For One
This makes me take a sigh
Waiting ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #19
I wait
For the flood tide of tourists
Arriving on buses
Destined for Islands
And secluded beaches
For the flood tide of tourists
Arriving on buses
Destined for Islands
And secluded beaches
Carrying their openness
And prejudice
With equal tenacity
Conscious only
Of their openness
