Eye of the Beholder

Eye of the Beholder
"There is beauty all around us ...just waiting to be seen"
"She's at it again"... the words of my children as they see me approaching with my lens cap off and my tripod tucked beneath my arm. "Mom.... no more pictures ... pleeeeaaase!" and I say to my children.... "One day you will be grown, I will be old and this world will have changed in a million different ways, and the only thing I will have to remember the seasons of your youth and the wonder of these times are my photos... so I will close one eye and try to keep focus and you will smile and say cheese!"

Gros Morne

Swelters the sun
Upon flesh that knows not
The truths of sky or of
Sea or of
Blood
BDarkening the night
Blinding the sight
Of

Crackled sand
Gray against this day
Of this day and the next

Searing hopeless lips
Dry
Upon the earth of
The world
Seeking truths that lie
Between crevices and
Cracks of

Weathered humanity
Crying upon
The cradled graves
Of all the is
All that was
And all that may
Never be again
…And what of?
