Minstrelsy

It's clouding again
more rain to come
I have no sorrow
I long ago
gave up
sun

howling in the cold
flies buzz, floors groan
clamoring with fatigue and mold
no candle lit, no truth to trust
just drifting, wanting something more

fools flock for hollow thrones

mad mouths mutter
mustered mandates ~ felle masses

What you've become,
and what has
become of you

two bare trees on the side of a road in a wildlife refuge. there are mountains in the distance and a cloud in the sky.

"What did the earth teach the trees?
How to speak to the sky."

-Pablo Neruda

October
has a promise
in every turning leaf

Close up of a pink scented rose from our garden

A close-up shot of 2 red-orange hibiscus blooms. This one is my favorite.

2 red-orange hibiscus blooms at a more comfortable distance.

I finally pulled my actual camera (Lumix FZ1000) out of the closet and started relearning how to use it (and an SD card reader...sheesh!)

Here are some practice pics I snapped of my potted patio hibiscus.

stay with me, love
oh stay, in this momentary now

every breath
a brief bookmark
in a story we can’t
bear to close

Colored photo of my backyard aspen as sun slips into the night.

Autumn is in the air.. rock cropping with a scape of varying colors defining the scene.

One last peek of the sun setting thru the field of colorful fall foliage.

Sunset hours slip-n
thru fades of autumn’s long light.
Orange quaking aspen
to evergreens, outlining
nature’s calico canvas..

The leaves are beginning to change. I love this time of year.

To know your kiss...
an atom-splitting instance

cyclonic inferno in a
fiery blitz of synapses

the kiss of ancients
lives spent and ever-present

presaged in near-waking dreams,
in the sorrowed sighs
of hushed whispers in the mind

#inkmine 1/2

When the South wind calls,
the Learned know its promise,
its whispers of love
blanket us in purest light,
faith in brighter days to come

transit layover
laundered for return trip home
bedroom chair marooned

this little spider
in the dark under the stairs
so comfortable

We’d trade vibes instead of prices, measure time in heartbeats, and count success by how your dog greets you at the door.

Green, grassy fields in the foreground with a tree, shrubs and flowers. Trees in the background including two red Japanese maples and a stand of pines on a ridge. Further back, a sliver of sea with hills rising behind. The sun lights clouds from behind with some blue sky remaining.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

Black text in white: OCTOBER COUNTRY ...that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain. ...

Happy #October, people. I’m welcome n in the best month of the year with some classic #raybradbury #gothic tales.

embers
of the fading day
silence remains

#SenseWrds Prompt 126

numbness in blue
downcast eyes
warmed by dappled daylight

palms bloom in peace
childhood friend dissipates
like the tinkling notes
the shifting winds play

cloaked by the night,
kneeling in the autumn quiet,
I sow lightbulbs for spring

Home from the sea
