“Abandoned Yellow House” photo by Madden Vallis
old things die amid new
a fleeting duet
color comes of a season
vibrant yellow
on loan from the sun
life and death
in the tint of their turns
each a gift
in its own right of moment
small piece
of that generous arc
that defines
the invisible motion of time
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

Incredibly lovely, Paul–I’m especially struck, marveling over “tint of their turns”. I realize we both are fond of alliterations, but this adds color–which is always nice.

the new and old (life and death) yellows in the photo spoke to me that way

It’s hard to comment on poetry, I can never think of anything meaningful to say. But this was good.
