up before sun light the way so our great torchbearer can take a day off think of the performance it has given think of all the overtime it has accrued if you feel lonely on a cloudy day remember how blissful a rested afternoon can be don’t hesitate to extend that grace to our burning friend #poetry

the only thing left to do is spread your wings and fly how much deliberation can one heart hold? will it collapse under the weight of this thing which pulls it in all directions? who wishes to stay stagnant in new positions? instead… open your valve so you can be claimed by your desires #poetry

life is imprinting its values all over my face like tattoos in the sun find your design under the breath of the one who holds the inscribing pen if ever you do not like what has come to life on your dying skin, you can cut out the undesired piece and replace it with something more enjoyable #poetry

it is so good to see you again i have been on a pilgrimage one that has found me both at the most inner space of the heart as well as the very edge of the world one can find the entire spread of life in between these two pillars, the pillars which hold all that stands between sun and moon #poetry

in some massive way i am part of world’s mess where once i began to act as broom and dust pan and then trash can, eager to rid of any debris now i see the pile of discarded things only wants and needs to be loved just as a shiny new piece of jewelry dust and glimmer are all contained within #poetry

sure, you can look in my eye are you ready for what you may see? below pink and white layers you will find deepest blue something for ocean to study in this place i have made a home, someplace to lay away if you are kind i can extend an invite if you are cruel you can bust the door down #poetry

you flew away deep into cold morning sky permeate layered understanding pierced veil of possibility how did you know where to go? i’ve not found my way i am feeling around in the dark pressing the walls searching for a secret key i did not see you find yours but still you unlocked your door #poetry

up late but still enamored clock says one thing heart says another who will i follow today? often betraying that pumping vessel, often at feet of ticking arms today i will see what happens when i allow truth to speak thru actions it’s easy to fall into beggars trap but what is there for you? #poetry

look up what looks back at you? a dark morning sky or that late-night party which only happens after everyone is asleep look down can you envision what is beneath you? there are entire worlds which know you but remain hidden from your simple human eyes will you choose to love them anyway? #poetry

today sinks below endeavoring wings some day we will remember them and they will uplift us once more with this pampering our hearts, are we able to forge our own way? i no longer wish to travel cleanly paved roads • grab my scythe, cut the path in which no soul has thought to go #poetry #poem

deep in desert you can find water deep in ocean you can find sand the only difference i see is the amount of sun which shines in each can you come to a conclusion here? life is a flip flop roller coaster with no seat restraint loop de loops at razor speed tunnels of time to swallow you whole #poetry

dive into deserted lands where you forgot your pack with all the things you brought before you left home much care went into each item as space was limited, hard decisions had been made into what was coming with you • now that this bag is lost, the only choice you have is to find yourself #poetry

open your eyes and paint the day leave nothing untouched lay no tarp on the floor that too needs a fresh coating each inch of city will soon be covered • windows from the house inside me only reveal the void it’s nice to visit, but soon i find myself desiring to return to the fire #poetry #poem

i’ve reached as far as muscles allow stepped to tip-toes while sinking on sun-drenched shells all around i saw there was only sky even somehow under my feet-pure blue, no grasping earth to rest weary soles nothing to grip-everything to release i gave it all away and it has never returned #poetry

On a canvas buried deep in my attic repository are shavings of charcoal arranged perfectly to portray the heavenly visage of my former love Hidden the masterpiece must remain cause my current love would be pissed at this harmless pictured memory Jealousy is such a pointless pursuit #foxprose #poem

walking dichotomies cover more path than those who aim to stay in tiny lanes color outside lines make your portrait they beg to be loved messiness means you are too enthralled in today’s project to clean yesterday’s experiment no boundary but your own keeps you outside your golden city #poetry #poem

Up at Cruagh Woods at the outskirts of Dublin. This tree went over in a storm several years ago but still continues to show some growth every year. #Hiking #Photography #ForestFriday #Forest #Trees #Woodland #Woods #EastCoastKin #Ireland
A image of a fallen tree in the woods on a disused hiking path. Part of the downed tree is covered in bright green moss and new growth from the remaining trunk can be seen with leaves turning to Autumn orange as the season starts to change.

“There was the summer. There Warm hours of leaf-lipped song, And dripping amber sweat. O sweet to see The great trees condescend to cast a pearl Down to the myrtles; and the proud leaves curl In ecstasy…” —John Gray, 1893 (Summer Past) #AIart #Midjourney8_2 #Poetry
