Darkness envelopes tubes of light
The source of artifice is shadowed
My eyes are focused on the now
While the mind is free to roam
As time wanes the sharpness is split
Into a multitude of shards of memories
My eyes glisten with fatigue and disappointment
While the mind is free to roam
Amongst the times spent in the freshness of calm air
With shafts of power that break through the quiet
My eyes close in reverie, darting rapidly
While the mind is free to be still.

Thank you Rekha. The cold chilly air is only enjoyable if one is in India. Here it’s just cold and chilly and uncomfortable 🙂

I love the repetition in each verse: “My eyes…”. It is like a thread weaving the verses together. It is beautiful. So are the photos.
P.S. Your header photo is gorgeous.

“I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us, which can mold us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds—the one inside us and the one outside us.”
