Photo finish Friday: “Icarus”

Icarus

I lack the sky /

and even if I could fly /

the birds would laugh.

Photo finish Friday: “Nothing”

Nothing

I left with nothing /

because I came with nothing, /

but my heart is free.

“Two chairs”

Two chairs

We shall find ourselves, /

two chairs by an ageless sea, /

folding in our names.

“Dwell”

Dwell

Dwell among the clouds, /

the meteorologist said, /

and paint there your mood.

“Rule of 95”

Rule of 95

Evening east and heat. /

Rule of 95 invoked. /

I scream for ice cream.

Busy as a bee, /

you say you are as I stand, /

like a sunflower.

“Glimpses”

Glimpses

With glimpse after glimpse /

you see the mind’s true nature /

and wisdom flowers.

“Wind”

Wind

Tattered and flailing, /

too many thoughts of you /

ride the evening wind.

“Reflect”

Reflect

The mirror reflects /

what was on the outside, /

not what is inside.

“Give”

Give

Love, but do not own. /

Live, put do not possess. /

Give, but do not expect.
