Day 2912, above.

From above
work seems easy

Day 2911, hardly.

aphorism, Daily picture, Poetry

A collection of wooden planks
nails and work 
the ingredients written down 
a long past ago

still we use it
we are hardly changed

Day 2910, used to.

aphorism, Daily picture, Poetry

I love the story a picture can tell
even if you don’t know what you see

it’s because we are so used to it

Day 2909, half reflected.

aphorism, Daily picture, Poetry

I forged raw iron till it reflected 
what I could not see straight on

it costs me half a life
but what half?

Day 2908, closely.

aphorism, Daily picture, Poetry

I looked at it so closely 
that I didn’t know what I was looking at

Day 2472, hard to see.

aphorism, Daily picture, Poetry

Without some scars on your soul
the outside that defines you
is hard to see

Day 2409, distance.

aphorism, Daily picture

Standing alone 
we can feel out of place
but looking back or from a distance
we can see that we fit right in 
with our surrounding 

or

when too close to reality
one can not see where it starts or ends

Day 1980, stuck.

Daily picture, Poetry

When I drifted away, many years ago, I got the feeling that I got stuck, maybe halve way. I don’t know why I thought that, knowing that I was going, without aim. I guess everything makes you feel stuck if you go to nowhere.

Day 1979, sail.

Daily picture, Poetry

It looks, that what I hold in front of me, is a shield. But I can tell you, that it works like a sail, a sail that helps me to smoothen the passage over rough tidying’s. leaning against time and its companions makes you stiff and will, at the end, break you, like the tree that never learned to give.
