Day 3697, neatness.

Daily picture, Poetry
I pretend that all my memories
and futures
are captured
ordered at equal distances
and lined up into infinity

the neatness
keeps me calm

Day 3694, me.

Daily picture, Poetry
I see what moves me
but what drives me

Day 3693, scale.

Daily picture, Poetry
I sometimes wonder
If your old measurement
scale
can still be used

Day 3691, for yesterday.

Daily picture, Poetry
At the end of the day
we have fished for all day
just enough for today

and tomorrow
we fish for tomorrow
like we did yesterday
for yesterday

Day 3687, no land.

Daily picture, Poetry
I keep my anchor on board 
I don’t see danger
or land I want to be

Day 3684, and me.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t know why
I want to feel my whole life
like a ball in my hand

as if this will make it real

but there is a hard line
between reality
and me

Day 3679, do I?

Daily picture, Poetry
Here a forest begins
a few trees and light
behind a darkness
one that I feel

its caling
temting
do I answer

Day 3678, cryptic.

Daily picture, Poetry
There once was a light in my room
but I don’t remember where the switch was
let alone how it looked

I am still in that room

Day 3677, where I walk.

Daily picture, Poetry
I see you as support
and myself in a sense
also

I see all of this
but it feels like
there has to be more
where I walk

Day 3675, unspoken.

Daily picture, Poetry
I was still able to hear you
walking away
but my words
echoed
unspoken
in the space between us

Day 3673, horizon.

Daily picture, Poetry
The greyness of it all
it dissolves the horizon
and there is only now
in color

Day 3672, do I know?

Daily picture, Poetry
The river slowly moves the boat
I move my fingers through the water
and pretend it's me

moving the boat

somewhere in the distance
I hear the waterfall
It should still be far away

but what do I know
what that would sound like

Day 3671, is it?

Daily picture, Poetry
The cold wind blows 
on the top of that mountain

I look at it
and I wonder
if that is enough

Day 3666, with.

Daily picture, Poetry
The clouds hang low
like morning mist in the evening
and some disappear
with the ripples
