Grayed Out

No filters, 

Yet the mist gets in the way

Colours subdued,

What one mostly see is gray

Misty eyes...

Is that muted joy or muted pain?

Can you see beauty?

Or are you fearsome of rain?

Pumping heart...

Curiosity-filled or anxiety-drained?

Are you soaring high,

Or are you gasping for the sky?

Grayed out, reality is

May your truth be found, not missed

May one find you in vigor, not in dissolution

From up high. into the deep...

** Autumn Solitude **

A refreshing sight,

Comensurate with a Sigh

Green,low... orange, high

Leaves fall... leaves fly...

Heart in a grit

Wondering soul amidst

Piety abounds 

Thoughts, too deep

Bear Mountain State Park

"Reflection"

Reflection

of you... on me...

It was as faint as it could be

Divergence, control

Independent paths, same core

Reflection

of me... on you...

It is a bit scary

Losing oneself

In order to find another

Reflection

of life... on us...

It will constantly transform

Assimilation reigns

As we travel through change

Boggy Creek, Southport Park, FL

"Whimsical Past"

Old Europe reminiscin'.... and it ain't far reachin'...

Just outside your neighborhood you're findin'

What a great era it must have been

Oh, so bright!  Such a bewildering sight!

You can't touch it, but you can delight

Imagination can make any history a wonderful plight

Beautiful nothingness...

.No wintry whites,

Nor leafy woods

No colorful foliage,

Nor aromatic shoots

So magical, so pure...

Beauty in nothingness definitely endures...

Flowers and Prayers

Delicate petals, those poor little souls

Vibrant ones, those courageous protectors

Imagine the cries... imagine the woes...

As we celebrate the season,  "they" grieve and mourn

Rest, you all.... in peace....

** Right THROUGH THE MESH **

First round of morning snow,

seen right from the window sill

All serene... all clean...

captured right through the silhouette

of a window screen...
