Breath -Commentary Po.em

Mark’s interpretation of our back and forth.

Coloring Outside the Lines

Breath held in longing

Nervous eyes hoping it’s mutual

Tentative touch of hand

Waiting for return on feelings

Scarred and scared

Calm in distress, Rabid in peace

Go for the throat or heart

Mindfulness Monday – Life

Once again, wise words — to allow life to find us, to relax into it . . .
And, another piece of Wendy’s wonderful art.

Picnic with Ants

“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

~ E.M. Forster

“Rather than being disheartened by the uncertainty of life,
what if we accepted it and relaxed into it?
What if we said,
‘Yes this is the way it is;
this is what it meant so be human,’
and decided to sit and down and enjoy the ride?”

~Pema Chödrön

Void – Commentary Po.em

Mark has composed another commentary po.em. This commentary stream has been particularly rich in imagery which Mark has used to the po.et’s advantage. Stop by his project21words.wordpress.com for his own, and our combined thoughts micro-bursts.

Coloring Outside the Lines

Falling in to yesterday

Eternal quest

Butterfly or moth

Searching for flower or flame

Slipstreams into fact

Tumbling letters break words

Nothing held or possessed

Like shadows in the dark

Missed Chance -Commentary Po.em

Mark has composed a commentary po.em, coupled with the image, that evokes emotions and pulls out feelings.

Coloring Outside the Lines

In the peripheral vision of your eye

Waving from my attention

Arms out stretched

Fingers feeling in the air

Like shadows in the dark

Lingering memories pull away

Rushing up and over

Only to crawl and slither
