Day 1582, line.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1582.jpg

My line of sight is tied down

for the forces that push on it

are relentless

~

I hope one day

I can release it

and let the horizon fill

with the breath I kept

and pull on me

Day 1572, stale.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1572.jpg

I can not open

the window

from where I sit

~

I can see

some of the horizon

but it is the smell

that I think

I miss

~

I can get up

but it is still

not to stale

where I sit

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 1484, endless together.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1484.jpg

The oceans

and land

flow endless

together

with horizons

~

with no purpose

around

the sun and center

~

till a moor

bounded

stopped the world

its aimless

turning

~

the horizon

now

is no longer

empty

Day 1361, overwhelming.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1361.jpg

Its light

and dark

looking

from where I sit

pulling at a horizon

that doesn’t want to

get closer

Day 1326, crossings.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1326.jpg

Hope

a glowing bridge

we

create

from the dark parts

in our mind

to

the next day

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1126-1.jpg

The sea is calm

the horizon still far away

behind the mountains

I presume

Day's pictures, Poetry

The road to freedom

ends

where the horizon

begins.

water escapes the horizon stretches in silence

a breeze closes my eyes.
