The gap

D70 - 80mm, 1/3 sec f/5.6, ISO 200

Knowing and not seeing,

feeling without touching,

my thoughts dress you with graces

and thus you live within me.

Tidal

D70 - 52mm, 1/8 sec f/32, ISO 200

I lay myself willingly at the foot of it, like so many times before, meeting the unforgiving wave. I shut my eyes tightly hoping the shock won't force them open, hoping the darkness will comfort me.

It towers above just before crashing into me, penetrating my skin. I brace myself as it lifts my legs and pulls at my hair. I try to hold back from screaming; no one would hear me anyway. I can smell the salty air, like sweat. It pushes me back and forth and I try to keep my body limp, to let it flow aimlessly with the current. I try not to think; it will soon pass and I will not have to follow it. Finally, after what seems like an eternity of turbulence, it wraps around me and relaxes to doze peacefully.

I am finally alone. I drift in this damp sheet and tell myself I will not cry this time.

Diffused

D70 - 70mm, 0.7 sec f/2.8, ISO 200

Scattered memories from a misty dream,

scattered thoughts unable to conceive,

scattered words looking for a meaning.

Plain truths

D70 - 24mm, 1/350 sec f/6.7, ISO 640

“That which is above is as that which is below”.

As our eyes rarely see the beauty unraveling before them,

we rarely comprehend a truth as simple as that.

Inspiration

D70 - 24mm, 1/350 sec f/2.8, ISO 200

Thin leaves,

overlapping thoughts in my mind,

seemingly devoid of thickness,

sandstones in my heart.
