Seeking elegance
Not a garish consumption
But deep quality
poetry, prose, and photography
Seeking elegance
Not a garish consumption
But deep quality
No longer
Do I listen deeply
Pulling apart
Words, lyrics
Melody
Harmony
Trying so hard
To embrace
A song’s
Soul
As the firefly
Moves across
The darkness
Leaving a trail…
Moments fleeting
Into memory
Then mist’s winds
Drag them
Beyond the treetops
Up to the stars
Within the hard rain
Atop steel tree; watching
A hawk sits, hungry
Sun set a while ago
Darkness fills the air
Comforting: I find it so
Freed from sunlight’s care
Roof rattles
Grinding force
Flowing earthwards
Each droplet unites
Living planet’s power
All consuming
