The moon glow
Eerie silence
Not a foot fall to be heard
Taking a tentative step towards
The big moon glowing, obscuring the sun
The light, not silver like moonlight, nor golden sunshine
Still shows her where to go, she steps tentatively
There is no fear in her heart, no loneliness
She may be alone but her soul is brave
She stands tall and waits for the
Unknown, in the moon glow

Challenged
dreams lie beyond Sun and Moon -challenged by light years -uneclipsed by hopelessness -fired by courage I will lower the stratosphere -or grow tall enough to peek into the rough and tumble of imagination ready to face the unseen I hope to find something worthwhile -else conversion of nothing to something will become … Continue reading Challenged
Innovation
Overconfidence made him feel good – like he will tame the fury of the steam engine and make it work – in another way. It was a long journey of thought from Michael Faraday to Thomas Davenport – but the electric engine was invented. Innovative minds boost mutual confidence.

A Natural Indifference: a #quadrille #haibun
Parched ground. searing sun. The cacti’s collective yawn. What is a few more degrees to them? Their fibers hoard their water. Their needles guard their excess against the unwary consumer.

Escapism
I wonder what peeling the earth will reveal -stormy depths -emotions paling into insignificance -unseen calm belittling mammoth peace efforts -our pride in humanity melting in co-existence yet I move away – as lessons follow me afraid of being dwarfed by Earth -my magnificence unpricked https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/03/12/photo-challenge-254/
The poem inside a poem
I discovered this wonderful blog today ....
Breathing free
hold your breath as I exit mine life asphyxiated in a maze of tubes -in the doldrums but the mind runs I crave stability if death offers it I believe in eternity of soul if there’s a way to show it let me go in peace so that we all live -maybe at different levels … Continue reading Breathing free
Leave a light on
When you leave me,
please —
spike my gloom
with silver sickle
of a waxing moon
and in the wake
behind you
please —
trickle pebble stars
to guide me through
your night till dawn.
When you leave me,
please —
light me candles
by your bed.
Nude I by Edvard Munch
