Haiku to View
Skyline to ocean
The elements in motion
With new devotion

Straight Lines
Reach on up to the sky
Peace stream from on high
From heaven to mind’s eye
Breathe deep the salty air
Soothing inner despair
Leaving no woes or care
Wind force my thoughts domain
From every holding claim
Clear my mind, hold this frame

Weekly Photo Challenge: Between
Between a rock and a hard place
The saying goes
But not everyone knows
The light does not always hold
A comforting sight
Doubts don’t appear just at night
The path wide open is not
Always a joy
Like a fabled decoy
Colours of heart, seem so confused
Image of middle ground
Riddled and deeply profound

Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra, Extra Liquid Gold
I got a little bit extra from the sunset recently. The sun was bright and reflected on the water quite spectacularly. The water in the channel seemed to look like liquid gold.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Room
There is something very medicinal about still waters. I love the reflective powers that nature initiates. Such images give the chance to ruminate and the chance to breathe freely. This is my imitation of “A Room With A View”. Room to grow, heal and be thoughtful.
To go forward
Without looking back
Is to stay on
The same old track
One line, one motion
One solemn direction
No change, no vision
No salient correction
To only look forward
Is a solo play
The time that has past
Has not blown away
Florals in Purple
Every day the light
Of the world shines on you
Each morning the flowers
Unfold their petals even in dew
The birds turn out
To choral as the long day ensues
The light of evening sky
Turns to pink and orange hues
The earth keeps on turning
For opportunities to pursue

Weekly Photo Challenge: Split-Second Story
Landmarks often depict an era, a period of time and historic relevance. Here is a photograph of a historic island and castle that dates back to the 12th century. It has been documented that this island, in the background, has been inhabited by Celts, Romans, Monks from Normandy during the rein of King Stephen and a port to German fleets of Lambert Simnel in the 15th century.
Today the island can be seen juxtaposed by the modern lifeboat station and small pier with the island in the near distance, calmly waiting for the next adventure to begin.
