2017 .. first day ..
first day back to normalcy ..
first day of first year ..
first day of new life.
To write for you ..
To write for me ..
To languish
To create.
But what?
And how?
And why?
Where to begin ..
Like you ..
since we all can ..
I went to my pictures ..
"pretend creativity" by pushing a button.
Push, push, click, click ..
"Oh, look what I did ..
how unique ..
what an eye!"
An absurdity ..
A necessity
to capture readers
for descriptive words.
After all ..
No one will stop for the words alone.
Why should they ..
don't photos tell it all?
Aren't pictures the book ..
relating perfectly
our innermost thoughts ..
our highest intellect?
What is the need for words ..
they take so long to digest ..
such effort to understand ..
just show me the photo.
The photo is innocuous ..
no philosophy to ponder ..
no ideas of another
to cloud your super intellect.
Simply look ..
interpret as you wish.
Let your ego win the day ..
No one could possibly improve on your vision .. correct?
Did you read the book?
"No"
"I looked at the pictures ..
I'm very clear on the message."
There are two attached photos ..
beautiful flowers from our yard.
On each perfect blossom
sits a tiny black bug.
2017
I intend to be the bug ..
surrounding myself with flowers ..
beautiful flowers.
Absorbing color ..
feeling cool perfection beneath my feet ..
succumbing to ethereal fragrance ..
tasting life's nectar.
From the depths of this experience
I will continue to write ..
knowing a photo may stimulate
but the mind alone can create.
Mahalo et Merci for reading the photo in my mind ..
from Kauai to Paris .. and all places between
