Telegraph Building, Gregory Highway, Queensland, Australia

Vacant ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #388

Only the stone remains
Even the memories
Died with those who held them

Only the stone
And perhaps some words

Which may yet outlive the stone

From electrons dancing on copper
Then pen to paper

And now perhaps
To electrons dancing on silicon
A record for eternity

Hope and Possibility

Where there is romance and reminiscence
In a sunset
There is hope and possibility
In a sunrise

Winding Road, Atherton Tablelands, between Peeramon and Ravenshoe, Queensland, Australia

A road to take me away

No matter where I am
There is a road
To take me away from there

And I have taken all of them

Some have called that heartbreaking
Some have called that courageous
I only know what Pascal told me

My nature lies in movement
Complete calm is death

Time Traveller

I travel through time
Not with feats
Of technology
But as an enterprise
Of imagination

Golden sunrise

Like a gold bar
Perched on horizon’s edge
The promise of a new day rising
A wealth of potential
Infinite possibility

There is no peace
Like sunrise

Hinterland Sunset, Yarumba, Queensland, Australia

Moments of insignificance and immensity

It was in a moment like this one
About 20 years before
The air, it seemed on fire
Engulfing the West End towers
Their glass and steel alight
As if caught in amber
An atmosphere of amber

A moment like this one
When I first awakened
To my connection
To everything

Moments With Family

In all this world
With its proud vistas
And exquisite scenery

There is nothing
More beautiful
Than a moment shared

Poetry by Patrick JenningsOct 31, 20152:38 pm

Before the sun crests the sky

Sometimes, just before the sun crests the sky
I close my eyes
Let the colours flood my mind
And fill my heart

I listen to the earth
And her creatures
Awakening

Sunshine Sunrise II

There is something about a sunset
A mood…
It’s a closing, a wind-down
It’s the deep breath at the end of a task

But a sunrise…
Awakenings, beginnings
Arisen possibilities
A sunrise is anticipation
