Day 1985, still life.

Daily picture, Poetry

The sunset reflected on the wall  

something prevented me

from looking to the end of the day

~

It was this seed

waiting fully grown

maybe for me

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 1399, nut case.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1399.jpg

I

can slowly

wind down

or

force

myself up

~

I am screwed

Day 1321, whilst.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1321.jpg

To maintain

my good humor

whilst growing

up

I

erected

several exhausts

on my dome

and installed

filters

and air conditioning

Day 1213, feel.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1213.jpg

From soil

in the shadows

we grow

up

and some

feel the light

of dreams

Day 1173, an audience.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1173.jpg

From a little seed

moved

in welcome soil

natures past

plays here rimes

to grow up

in poetic forms

to invite

an audience

to sow

a new seed

and give it back

your soul

Day 1163, reaching.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1163-1.jpg

With no regards

for the world around

this little shoot

goes reaching

for the sun

in the shadows

of the past

this mighty structure

that gives

and takes

Day 1011, what is still higher.

Day's pictures, Philosophy

Day 1011-1.jpg

Out of a seedbed in nature’s bosom

a youngling feels that it is all one

till he can’t reach for that what is higher

Nochrisis
