Frame ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #409

We share a gaze

He a brave stance
At the Entrance

I from the street
Eye to viewfinder

Framing the frame
Within a frame

Click

Decades pass

Scanning through the scans
Seeking inspiration
From days all but forgotten
Memories vague
Impressions with few details

But for a few frames
A moment caught as light
Falling on silver
Frames of reference
Scanned to bits
Then left unedited
Until today

Another frame
Before and after
The unremembered moments
What happened before
What happened next
The unknown frame
Of time

A frame
Within a frame
Within a frame
Within a frame

I can call up
This moment
Captured in a click
Beyond that
In time and space
Is outside the frame

Scooter at night in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia

The right Kind of Time ~ NaPoWriMo Day 25

I see us
On the scooter
Isolated in space
But time
Isn’t the right time
The right kind of time
While the vision itself
Is indistinct

Blurred

Which leaves me

Confused

Nothing’s quite adding up
Or going anywhere
That could be a destination
Or even a place to stop
And rest

And gather in

Paradoxes

Or is that ironies

The scooter drives on
Into the night
Carrying some sort
Of hopeful

Light

Illuminating nothing

No

Illuminating
Streaks of formless
Something

Something formless
Meant to have form
Intending to form

Therein
I know where the hope
In the light
Leads

The right kind of time

Even if I
Have no idea where
Or when
Such time will be

Or was

Eternal Lights ~ Quaco Head Lighthouse- UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

Eternal Light

They spoke across a divide
Wide as eternity
Two dim lights
On distant shores
Obscured by the haze
Of time

But for their light
They’d have lost each other
Utterly

Such is the nature of binaries
Each caught in the gravity
Of the other

Their light grew
As they consumed time 
With memories
And old promises
Spoken and unspoken
Still to be kept

The haze dispersed
The divide reduced
To a vision
A touch
An embrace
