My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: River.
this tranquil motion
combined destructive power
river’s dual nature
A river, though sometimes calm and tranquil, and sometimes raging through storms, always erodes it’s surroundings. No matter the gentleness of the moment, there’s inexorable change, micron by micron, creating canyons and corroding mountains. Water’s gentleness is deceptive.
call of summer light
feeding of vigorous life
ready for fresh rains
jaunty tunes
wheels bearing
iced confections
Summertime is upon us. It’s definitely arrived in Seattle, though looks like it might pause this weekend. I hope you’re feeling the pleasent joys summer brings.
My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Theme.
dawn crawls through trees
red skies setting the theme
hope within the new
outside my window
silent darkness
tranquility
petal dynamics
unfolding in the sunlight
grace in thankfulness
ascending the curve
sunlight climbing the mountains
dancing cosmic orbs
Humanity’s child
Born of electrons’ motion
Will flowers be loved?
Discussing Artificial Intelligence with a friend I wonder if AI will be our contribution to the universe. If Fermi’s Paradox will be overcome by humanity in spite of our drive towards insanity.
I wonder…
in the morning air
mists drifting upon the breeze
clouds dancing past
nearly summer
I don my sweater
raindrops on leaves
