must keep changing
to remain

the flame survives
by renouncing
each shape
it becomes

what is relinquished
becomes its light

17 Feb 2024. A visit to Ocean Beach in Kāwhia. It’s just after 8pm, and the sunset is stunningly uproarious as it paints the sky with buckets of colour. The black sand beach is a deep umber, and proof of earlier various recreational vehicles can be found in rows of tracks left behind. The Tasman is a deep blue. The wispy clouds are fantastic in their tones – peach, dark grey, off-white. The sun itself is half-sunk into a liquid horizon of dreams, and a mini reflection of orange can be seen in the shallows near the shore. From the larger orb, two arms reach and diagonally divide the frame from lower left to upper right. The smaller sphere tries to follow suit, managing one outstretched arm in solidarity. In the distance of the harbour on the left are rolling hills, dark and full of secrets. 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑑𝑎𝑦 – 𝑎 𝑠𝑢𝑛’𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑘𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑤𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑡ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #Stunday #ImageAndVerse #ColorADay | #OrangeSun #mobilephotography #photography #inkMine | survive #emoetry | lonesome #vss365 | reckon #tanka #poetry #micropoetry (Photo has been cropped only.)

Love,
the most hardy bloom
doesn't need or want
like an incensed child

Perhaps grace
is eternal
Love's most
luminous aspect

Star-kissed Nerium
Love shall survive
the inconstant moon
and passionate sun

An unforgotten woe
insofar as
Spring's blossoms
only thrive in memory

Bullies are cowards
undeserving of celebration

Bullies are cowards
usurping our self esteem or good will to feed their greedy souls,
Bullies are cowards
Bullies are cowards
Bullies are cowards

we can rise above them

Once
I stood by the sea
exuberant embrace
washed over me

Once
I stood by a river
mournful peacock cry
a reminder

Once I stood
by your side

We embark on
tenacious journeys
Love never tells
when it’s leaving

Here is a black and white photo I took of a forest crow flying over the sunset. A dip in the dark trees frames the towering clouds with soft leafy limbs. At the center, the sky yawns open with brightness, revealing the bird's body and curved wing silhouette in diffused sunlight. A taste of rain on the westerly breeze teased the moment with storm potential. I remember thinking: suns, planets, and moons play the eclipse game. Crows are no different. Little mischievous drops of midnight—loose upon our days. This new haiku is a fallen feather I picked up. caw eclipse ebony freeze frames dusk's wool yawn

Stars don’t defy
Evenfall’s passion
what is felt
in the barest
whispers of time

No use pleading
with the sun, love

Even shadows
can’t deny
you are mine
where the fields
are black

B&W photo of the creek last week (before the storm rolled in). An unfrozen creek is unusual for this time of the year in the mountains. Rocks, boulders & shadows circling around the reflection of the sun - with budding willow brush framing along its side.

It was a rough day at sea when I took this black and white photo while sailing around El Arco, located on the coast of Cabo San Lucas, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. The smooth tides of Lovers Beach are on the Cortez side of the arch, and Divorce Beach’s thrashing tides are on the Pacific side. El Arco's jagged dip into the misty tides is accentuated by its open arch. Waves crash through the opening, and its uneven roundness offers a hazy view of what lies beyond: the calm stretch of shore known as Lover's Beach. El Arco's beautiful formation inspired this haiku in my travel journal: rough lands end smooth curves roam lover's beach

some nights
I think about calling you
but what’s the point?
we still won’t do enough
to make it work
I pretend like you’re
miserable without me
that same old Limerence~
the more things change
the more they stay the same

The Saddest Poem I Ever Wrote- 4/24/23

It makes me sad
The way I love you
It’s the love I should
Give to Me

Raging gusts test
the chimney’s flames,
biting cold forcing
the tenacious birch to renounce,
footsteps fading beneath
the heavy snowfall,
a lonesome swallow perches
on a forgotten postbox
its cry drifting into silence.

In the bare poplar tree outside my window, Eastern Phoebes have been visiting. Ever-so-slowly, light is returning. I took this photo the other day while watching one gently surf the wind on a limb. Its dusky overcoat and creamy underside make this small puff of feathers look like a smoky cloud droplet against the winter green bokeh. From afar, the Phoebe's eyes look beady, but close up they have beautiful copper irises—so bright and full of cleverness. Here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, they symbolize the renewal of good luck and fortune for the year. Their famous fee-bee song is a harbinger of spring.

Some nights, clouds low between me and the moon, I get so heavy I could cry. Can barely lift my boots.

So Old Robot crackles into funny old longago songs. Policeman laughing, or cleanin' windows, and a whole world smiling.

The best way to defy gravity, Old Robot says, is a little levity.

with my practiced smile,
cry
with my exasperated tears,
perhaps this morning
will whisper something
different,
perhaps the day will hold
me with arms more dear;

They beckon me
bathe in the river,
sanctified by a waved hand,
the hand famed for striking
the Adversary, come in quiet hours
wearing his wife’s face
and cries with her voice.

He says to me,
“Wash and become #pure,”
as though he wasn’t spoiled already.
