Day 1504, get closer.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1504.jpg

There are so many

standing together

~

when you get closer

you see less

~

but the small details

tell there own

stories

Day 1503, elegant end.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1503.jpg

An elegant line

flows

out of discarded

life

~

it’s roots disappeared

in the distance

~

it’s end

joins

that fate

Day 1502, kindle.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1502.jpg

I am kindle

a light

spark

and I rise

feeling

for no resistance

upward

and down

eating my base

the past

I fade

away

Day 1501, shadow.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1501.jpg

My shadow

is always hiding

from the sun

like my darkness

Day 1500, suddenly.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1500.jpg

1500 minutes ago

my lights suddenly

turned on

~

it was cold

empty

a different silence

out here

~

but the energy

that I couldn’t escape

before

now suddenly

pulls

on me

~

I have to

follow

Day 1499, with a mind.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1499.jpg

Looking

through old picture albums

in my head

~

with a mind

that fades

stares

contracts

~

and leaves me

with a feeling

that I remember

Day 1498, island?

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1498.jpg

I look

standing close

into the mirror

and see

emptiness

a blue expanse

an island

~

but I’m not sure

a bee

somewhere

the sea

waves

~

my heart

distracting

Day 1496, just below the clouds.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1496.jpg

In a distance

the snow covered tops

remind me

of the cold

where the eagle

flies

just below

the clouds

~

effortlessly she glides

down

from rising

warmer

air

watching the world

nervously

for the pray

she needs

Day 1495, far above.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1495.jpg

Standing up

hungry

staring at the sky

I slowly see

emerging

stars

far above

my horizon

Day 1494, swell.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1494.jpg

A reflection

while walking

inshore

~

unsure what I sea

not looking

to the other

~

side

~

I stop

and still

stare down

into a silent

swell

Day 1493, stuck mid air.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1493.jpg

I finally flew

away from a womb

~

to sow myself

to the world

~

drifting fertile

to unknown grounds

I suddenly

~

by a gust of wind

lost my drive

to end up caught

by a tree

close to home

Day 1492, half a bridge.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1492.jpg

From far away

my idea

spans

the horizon

~

from the side

where I am going

to the side

I want to be

~

but now

I am closer

and not so sure

~

I can’t see

the other side

from here

Day 1491, till they take me.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1491.jpg

They left me

outside here

in the cold

for all these months

~

and I still did

and do

the only thing

that I can

~

holding the line

till they take me

Day 1490, like me.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1490.jpg

A new life

on finding feet

~

with each step

in warm grass

~

playing with the others

that still do

~

like I

in my head

Day 1489, leave.

Haiku, Poetry

Day 1489.jpg

Colorful

at the end

she whirled

to a welcoming

ground

~

in a quiet

corner

her life

moved away

~

at the end

of this winter

a thought

and her cage

where left

~

all

alone
