Day 1483, The beauty of a teapot not in use

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1483.jpg

Once admired

while serving

~

a sweet tong

and uplifting

~

summer flowers

faded colors

~

of all the sun

in her days

~

at the end

a fractured purpose

~

to end alone

to be remembered

in a frame

and

admired

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1394.jpg

I know

but

together

Day 1290, lost.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1290-1.jpg

There are many

man made things

that have lost

their purpose

and often also

their story

Day 1124, between the islands.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1124-1.jpg

A road that ends

where the sea begins

no one is here anymore

they sailed to search

between the islands

the purpose of their life

Day 1087, purpose.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1087-1.jpg

For the last time the room closes its door

to forget what was and stay

and remember for you its purpose

Day 1086, bright.

forgotten purposes

exposed in bright lost daylight

Day 828, goal.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 828-1

A little fly attracted by colorful instincts,

flies unaware its self-chosen path,

fulfilling its purpose tight up in its brain

a taste of reward repeats till the unseen and end.
