Day 1536, hard white rocks.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1536

In-between

the hard white rocks

a sun barely reaches

the fertile soil

~

but only the shimmering

of the shadows down there

spur some on

to take over

and go towards

the hope

of some light

Day 1503, elegant end.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1503.jpg

An elegant line

flows

out of discarded

~

it’s roots disappeared

in the distance

~

it’s end

joins

that fate

Day 1300, silent.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1300.jpg

Death

hangs down

its silent

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1213.jpg

From soil

Day 1209, deep.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1209.jpg

In my sleep

I sometimes

wonder

deep

in old forests

among the lizards

and wizards

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 832, noise.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 832-1

Thousands of synapses inspiring in you.

The noise drowning out your iridescent path.

Drenched by the weight you reach out your mind,

to see a perspective in calm and silence.

for a chance of life.
