And found they could see in the dark.
And found they could see in the dark.
Reflections of light on deep dark waters
symbols whose key has long been lost.
Fish of light,
Swaying with the wind.
Remembrance of first light
never fades.
Constantly and everywhere we are reminded
we are but thought.

Thank you again for all your contribution. Well done everybody :-), this wasn't an easy shot.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I confess my preference to Catherine's lines. Very powerful.
I love Catherine's contributions too. It speaks to darker places in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun, -A-C-.
flames of water
ReplyDeletealways so restless
where do they go?
will they ever find what they are looking for?
will they ever find peace?
AC and spacedlaw, thanks for making my Sunday with your words! I also love Deb's (Piacere) poem very much. When I read it, I harkened back to the dawn of time and the essence of first light. I love these little 'paint strokes' as you called them. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLight and thought, we are a part of everything and can speak to all if we take the time to learn their language. Amazing photograph, such patience to set up such a beautiful shot. :0)
ReplyDeleteKudos to you Cat :-)
ReplyDeleteStrawberry girl, so true. thank you for your comment.
Oh, a wonderful collage of poems that
ReplyDeleteare beautifully married to your photograph.
@ cynthia: I thank all contributors for it. It is interesting to see a single image through many eyes, particularly when I receive contribution of this quality.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, AC, I'm so curious as to what this is a shot OF?
ReplyDelete@ Cat: This is a photo of sunlight reflecting off the water of a small mountain stream, where it slightly opened up to form a pond. Technically, it is a spot exposure slightly off the reflected light, as to render water dark but in the reflection. A very high shutter speed was obviously used to "freeze" the water wobbling.
ReplyDeleteLike little spirits of light in the darkness.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and very clever to get such an effect. I love the words too, they're wonderful.
I really wanted to post a poem for this one and forgot. I hope you don't mind if I do it in the "comments" section.
ReplyDeleteBefore life, in bliss, we are but one
Inklings of potential in a world so deep
We are only fragments of imagination
Waiting to be born.
It is an honor to receive your comment, Kristin.
ReplyDeleteNow, after both all the contributions and comments I can really give a name to this photo: "Creation", and with a certain boldness I name it so. And I am not referring here to the creation of our universe (the lesser one), but to the first, original creation of life (in spirit): the first, ever happening extension of the Great Architect embracing all that exists in an instant.
Thank you for your words. They too speaks the truth.
Beautiful!
