“Equipoise”
Painting by Hans Hofmann
From wikiart.org
the glass now too heavy
never again to be turned
grains funnel at speed
drawn like quicksand
this last day of days
in swift smother of time
when it stills itself
all will be right again
balance restored to
beginnings with endings
old noise with new silence
each birth with its death
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

They all do, everything you write – I just haven’t been commenting much these days, and for that I apologize. It’s been a little rough going here on the other side of the screen.
