colorful curtains

shroud a vast unlit stage still

littered with glitter

in life there’s always

a certain uncertainty

between here and there

 

–photo by me

steel wills may bend

and resolutions may fade

into nothingness

 

–Photo by me

my camera scans

the tangerine forest and

brings tiers to my eyes

 

–photo by me

the just moon holds fast

in a roiling river of

emerald and ink

 

–Photo by me

dancing water nymphs

deliquesce to blue vapor

as the sun rises

 

–Photo by me

the sun is inclined

to lay low when the dark nights

of winter arrive

hopeful hang gliders

prepare to take to the air

on silky sails

 

–photo by me

 

 

a steady rainfall

on this gloomy afternoon

drives the earth to drink
