some things
shine in darkness
some at dusk
and
others at dawn…

I caught the smell of a bonfire
this evening which propelled
my thoughts to home, cold
nights of crisp realisations
never feeling enough
not shall ever be
that's when sunset
calmed me

What is love
other than to hold
forever the sun
humbly close
to a fragile
inner light

From my old iPhone 4 - July 2014. One of the wild West Coast beaches is aglow with light. The sun is diffused thru a cloud in the upper right-hand portion of the photo. The sand is near flawless, no footsteps - pristine and smooth. It reflects the glow from above. Horizontally dissecting the middle of the photo is a rocky outcrop that juts out into the Tasman. Fisherman are on the rocks working their craft. A lone seagull is on the sand watching the waves.

Wild Wistonia ("Bugle Flower") - two apricot-coloured blooms are contrasted against the blue NZ sky with the green of a line of trees along the horizon. LOVE. I carefully walked up a slight incline to get this photo up-close, hearing the soft crunch of vegetation beneath my jandals.

This photo, and the others in this post, were from a walk in Long Bay Regional Park about three weeks back. It was too windy to walk on the beach proper (I didn't bring along a heavy enough jacket that day, and the temp was sharp), so I took the inner path parallel to the shoreline, something I'd not done before. Was hugely rewarded with so many flowers, and plants, and trees, and blue sky, and green, and...ok, I'm an old hippie chick : ) Simple joys, eh!

A single yellow Capeweed flower sings to the sun, rising above the dense green grass below as if to say, "I'm HERE!" : ) I see you, you beauty.

The happiest little patch of yellow clover flowers nestled in deep verdant green grass.

Teeny tiny, itsy bitsy purple geraniums snuggled into their blanket of green leaves.

..think if you give yourself away.. whether it’s your words, your art.. in the sharing.. your lessons.. knowledge.. grace.. heart.. you run the risk of being wildly misunderstood.. and it’s both beautiful.. and unforgiving..

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry

Painting: Reading Woman in the Forest by Gyula Benczur (1875)

#PoetryCommunity #Poetry

The painting is Reading Woman in the Forest by Gyula Benczur (1875). It depicts a woman in a Victorian black dress and straw hat, laying propped up on her side, on a red and green tartan blanket, reading a book in the forest. The ground is inclined, sloping down toward the right. The trunks and roots of large trees fill the background, and a beige parasol lays next to her on the left. [Image courtesy of the Hungarian National Gallery.]

This is paired with a poem by Wendell Berry:

The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks

Painting: Jammin’ at the Savoy by Romare Bearden

#PoetryCommunity #Poetry

This painting is a colorful abstract mixed media collage called Jammin’ at the Savoy by Romare Bearden. There is a guitarist in the front accompanied on the left to right by a drummer, upright bassist, horn player, saxophonist, and piano player. Blues, greens, plums, and golden colors make the jam session come to life.

This is paired with a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks:

We Real Cool

THE POOL PLAYERS.
SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.
We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.
