D300 - 300 mm, 1/320 sec f/7.1, ISO 1000I weep
for what could have been and is not,
for the beauty I don't see,
for the time lost.

ReplyDeleteper cio' che avrebbe potuto essere e non e',
per la bellezza che mi sfugge
per il tempo perduto ]
life's untender mercies
ReplyDeletefleeting as sparrow's wings
leave in their wake
a solace
found on sun-warmed stones
hugs to you...may you find some solace in this
Wonderful words and image.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of a Rorschach inkblot test.
where would poetry live
ReplyDeleteif we were half full
instead of half empty
Very beautiful and stirring. I love the picure with the reflections, goes so well with the poem.
ReplyDeleteKat & qualcosa di bello: I bow before your ingenuity and sensibility.
ReplyDeleteTo all:
Thank you for your encouraging comments.
Forgive the sadness,
the sneaking grief,
it's a colored veil
on a tired mind.
nothing to forgive
ReplyDeleteour different ways
to express sadness
the same horse
a different harness
AC, the image and the words touched my heart.
ReplyDeleteTired minds lead to isolating thoughts and false beliefs that the current reality is the only one in existence. Thank you for showing your human vulnerabilities.

ReplyDeleteWoW! Among the best pictures I've ever seen...
ReplyDeleteAnd your poem... I feel as it was addressed to me; just recently I have often been wondering about all these. So, I'm not alone... Thanks for sharing it! ;)
@ a square peg & dmartini: thank you both for your kind comments. I heart both this poem and the picture, as the scene prompted me these words almost immediately.
