The reaper returns again, but grief already fills this space, no room for more absence

Whoops, it’s actually the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in Manhattan. Yeah, I need to go alone sometime because I always move through a lot slower than my group lol.

Beautiful, Trè! Love how it mystically bridges earth and sky ✨

Here is a macro photo I took of our last bi-color snapdragon in the front garden. The day was beautifully grey and rainy. Though there was no chance of seeing a tropical sunset, this flower held the might of dusk's glory in its misty face. This scoop of autumn sherbert glows against green peeps of background bokeh. Bending in for a closer look with my camera, I became enchanted by the perfect spheres scattered across its pink-red-orange-yellow petals. Within each crystal ball raindrop, a small universe of color and light. Their augury? My new 3-5-3 haiku: Snapdragon Vivid glow Drops of sky roll on Dragon's tongue

We’re simpatico on this and it’s always fun and interesting exploring these ideas with you. BTW, Shackleton had an amazing crew.

the ocean turns green
shivering with salt

vaporous foam
at our feet

a gull dives
rises
hesitates in gust
recovers
& taunts as he flies

the flashing memory
of other plunges
& soars

please say
oblivion
is not a #piranha
gnawing
what remains
& the sea
keeps nothing whole

I appreciate you getting it and always your comments.

How did that go? A knowledgeable tour guide when you’re in places like that is such a wonderful gift. Did you get to MOAH? Love the Hayden Planetarium there too. Hall of dinosaurs 🦖 Yeah, learning is the best.

Thanks, Trè!! 😀 They’re cool because you can do one or more sentences and if you see one that inspires an idea you can drop it in a comment and get a thread going!

Beautifully written. Both raw and shimmering. Love the duality of it. You’d get on well with Jess lol

The Endurance ship at night Stuck in pack ice.

Ernest Shackleton was a polar explorer in the early 20th century. His Endurance expedition is considered to be one of the most extraordinary in maritime history. I read a bunch of his books.

Yeah, that’s the song I was thinking of until my brain flicked to Shackleton 😂

Hey, pretty

the complete oeuvre
from cave art to AI art
of humanity
has inspired many but
didn't stop one single war

Thanks! It was one of those introvert moments where I wandered away from the group and it serendipitously led to a favorite moment caught in a photo.

Great song 😀 When you wrote white flag I thought of Shackleton’s quote “never for me the lowered banner, never the last endeavor”

Whispered winds bear sorrow.

Shadows hum the lost one’s name.

Twilight weeps in soft tones.

Nightfall drapes the world in grief.

Moonlight sings a mournful hymn.

Chilling! 👏

I snapped this photo of me & my shadow with my walking stick. Earlier, I was reading about Oedipus meeting the Sphinx at the crossroads & correctly answering the riddle of, "what walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?" That led to this haiku.

just shadows long in
our fleeting existences,
enjoying the sun
