The waves provide a bit of blue.
The leaves a bit of gold.
The bubbles popping up at you
Are lovely to behold.

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.
Comfort Smells
Smell the dawn through breaths of air
Walking past these waters where
Quietly the healing night
Opens up with morning light.

One
On a morning walk I am like a bee in search of nectar knowing this richness hides behind color, knowing it could be anywhere and then seeing it, there, right there, in one flower with yellow petals and drops of dew. I put the phone close to it and take a picture trying to see the drops of dew on the leaves but who knows what the photo will show? It isn’t me looking anymore.
Or there it is, in that one tree, in the distance blessed with morning sunbeams, surrounded by the branches and trunk of a nearby tree and below by a soccer field, standing out as one among many trees right now. Even the mistiness of this morning singles this one tree out hiding all those in the background. Just one tree, right now, over there, and why do my eyes find it so beautiful?
YELLOW BLOOMS ATTRACT
LIKE GREEN THIS MISTY MORNING
SUMMER SAYS GOODBYE

Upside Down
Final Light
The Sun smiles on the rising dew
That turns to mist as Joe walks through.
Dreams do not come realized.
Mary waits with patient eyes
And trusts in what they’ve done.
When they knew the monsters won,
When terrors came to own their town,
When death appeared to take them down
They walked obeying mother’s call.
Let mountains from the heavens fall.
The final light is what they’ll find
Forgiving all they’ve left behind.

One-Liner Wednesday — Nutty Nonsense
Aligned and neatly polarized we felt our hatred grow. Logic’s nonsense helped us out. It told us what it’s all about and let our madness show.

Mindful In My Hand
This tiny notebook that is in my hand
Contains this poem written here for you.
It won’t take long. I’ll tire of it, too,
But when it’s done, we’ll put it all away
And watch the sun explore another day.

Double Exposure
In order to get a double exposure for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, I installed GIMP. I am still going through their tutorials.
The top image is what I started with. The contrast between the green and yellow leaves already seem like a double exposure. The bottom image I’ve titled, “Proof That I Don’t Know What I’m Doing”, but I do kind of like that bright yellow near the center.
One-Liner Wednesday — Doors and Walls
The prison key of precious jade
Locked doors of duty finely made.
Love arrived, revised the spell.
The doors survived. The walls though fell.

Circus
My circus has the highest tent,
The wildest acts of all.
The tent’s the sky.
The birds up high,
They show the way to loop and fly.
They never fear to fall.
Linked to dVerse Poetics. Sarah is hosting and the theme is circus.
