poetry, prose, and photography
This rainy darkness
The sun has not yet risen
Pursue excellence
There’s so much to accomplish early in the day. Before others are awake and the manic vigor rages forth. I love this time of day, when potential feels unlimited. When I’m bounded solely by my ambition.
What’s your favorite time of day?
Walking near the shore
Sunlight gracefully setting
My mind is swirling
It’s been a rough couple of days. A few moments of peace were very welcome. Walking and writing poetry connect me to the greater grace of the universe. And I’m grateful.
I’m grateful for you, too, dear readers. The likes and comments make me feel like I add value to your lives with my shaped words. So, thank you for reading, liking and commenting! It lightens the heavier loads in my life.
A street shines just outside my window. The quiet of this suburb, both home and alien.
Lacking compassion
Says so much more about you
Than any words can
With frost on the ground
The snow’s remnants remaining
March’s progressing?
Daylight Savings Time
An archaic exercise
I am not a fan
My mind is racing
Thoughts I do not want to think
I’m deeply weary
Each day has beauty
If you’ll give energy to
Go and seek it out
For so long
I’ve worshipped
At logic’s altar
The cold linear stone now
Seems empty to me
Time to go within
Into mystery
The unspoken certainly
Arising from hope
And the love
For beauty
I think of beauty
There are so many choices
Tell me you love
