A ribbon of light
Winds along the valley floor
Swallowed by the mist

A Long Moment in Time
I watch the hummingbird
Sipping nectar
Its wings but a blur
My eye cannot find
I watch the river
Cascades over rock
Imagine a smoothed blur
For an eye much slower than mine
The hummingbird sighs
Slows its speech to my pace
Time, you see
Whether stopped or a blur
Is a trick of the mind
Convergent Flow
The tumble and tumult
The cascade and chaos
All of it is pain
My being rent
By forces
External of choice
Until I realize
The flow of possibilities
Converge on a single channel
Even small choices
Alter my course
Through the rapids
I can navigate
Even the roughest water
Toward the serenity
Of a gentle flow
There is some beauty in this
The discovery of peace in turmoil
Moonglow
A promise of possibility coming
Here the night made bright
Though by no small trickery
And patience
Here the night made bright
Though by no small trickery
And patience
Moonglow breaks the darkness
While the stars take flight
In the cool blue of winter chill
But for the warmth of amber hearths
Blur ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #211
We are but a blur
You and I
A collection of possibilities
Missed opportunities
Layered over time
An inkling of a beauty
Unrealized
Untested
Unknowable
You and I
A collection of possibilities
Missed opportunities
Layered over time
An inkling of a beauty
Unrealized
Untested
Unknowable
Yet between us
Always
Undeniable light
Exquisitely tragic love
Valley Glow
In light too slight
For human eye
I setup lens
With hope intent
Rack focus to eternity
For human eye
I setup lens
With hope intent
Rack focus to eternity
Allow the night
To enter frame
Count out seconds
Three by ten
Capturing
These timely glows
One from headlight’s driven thrust
Unfurls along the river’s edge
Another rises up
To meet the clouds
Escape from streets
Illuminate
Selfless Selfie In Between
I climb the stairs
Get turned around
Wonder which
Up or down
Light’s everywhere
Caught between
Transitioning
Where do I
Belong

Up or down

Unlikely Hues
I linger in deepening darkness
Counting out time
In fives by five
Counting out time
In fives by five
Collecting virtual waves
Of indigo and azure
Lavender and cobalt
Refracted and reflected
By atmosphere and cloud
And a near-flat sea
Magic time and light
Conjures from the darkness
Invokes unlikely hues
With the flourish of a shutter
Reveals to all the world
And me
The Glow of Life
The glow of lights
I see at night
Try to perceive
In light of day
As aural gleam
A sign of this
Candescent life
I see at night
Try to perceive
In light of day
As aural gleam
A sign of this
Candescent life
