A colourful sunrise

can empty

your mind

for a few

has probably

once

enjoyed that

only

a few weeks

each year

that I can see

it

like this

Day's pictures, Poetry

I really live

on an Island

through the air

seeping

into all

our pores

Day 1402, and a few windows.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1402.jpg

We dream

of a tower

like it’s

our mind

with

no corners to break

~

your song

~

and

the only way

in

is from

below

a thousand stairs

down

Day 1401, shedding.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1401.jpg

Slowly

our colourful

protection

sheds

~

it cast

some shadows

and falls

away

~

what lefts

is raw

but

hasn’t seen

the light

for many

days

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1400.jpg
