Statuesque


“Living dolls? Perhaps a copycat off the wall?” Gun Roswell

Statuesque

Two of them there, standing very tall
The one enters, alas, oh so very small
Statues? Perhaps they are all
Of different statures, even eras? For sure!

Slow Afternoon


“Take a load off!” Gun Roswell

Slow Afternoon

Afternoon,
Feeling lazy
Real life, all hazy
Turquoise waters
With no otters
Laying about
Poolside,
No doubt!
No hurries
No worries
Just living
For today
Wishing
I could stay
More
Than a week!

Time for Ice Coffee


“Coffee, the only constant in the universe” Gun Roswell

Time for Ice Coffee

Coffee, with ice, and then some!
Need I say more?
Just keep beating the drum:
Coffee, coffee, coffee
What else in life do you need?
Drink coffee and you shall succeed!
Really?
Yup!

Island life


“Sometimes, one simply needs a break from it all.” Gun Roswell

Island life

A small Island, perhaps Greece?
A small piece
Of our very own history
Beyond the centuries
The oldest of towns
Considered the jewel of the crown
Alas the soft sunny beach
At your very reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you’ll ever need
On the small island of eternal peace

Phone Home Maybe?


“Our daily lives are so mundane, alas what can you do? Someone perhaps sue?” Gun Roswell

Phone Home Maybe?

A dialer device
From a different era
Had to suffice
Let me tell ya
An analog connection
No visual perception
No texting
Sure no sexting
Just a calling machine
The only mean
For ancient times
But oh how time flies
Now we all have
A mobile device

Que Sera, Sera

Workaday seats, oh please!


“The seats for a working day, may not look like much, but hey, they will give you some respite, and make the day move along more quickly?” Gun Roswell

Workaday seats, oh please!

The rickety chairs, not looking to great, and to be honest, I would rather be somewhat late, of the office, if these were the ones offered for me, to sit on the whole day, not really the ergonomic ones, everyone has on display these days.

But, perhaps all is not lost, as the cost just might be, walking around the office, and not just in one place to sit, a good pace during the day to be held, and so, in the process, getting a work out without any kind of cost!

So, before starting to scowl, about the reasons, these chairs should the simply thrown, to a great big bonfire, rather than having people sit on them, well, maybe consider the alternative, which would be to get your mind, body and thighs, into a good shape, at least, that could be some kind of a goal?

White and the shadows 


“The contrasts between light and shadow, black and white, darkness and bright are quite breathtaking” Gun Roswell 

White and the shadows 

The starkness of the non coloured smooth surfaces, the edges and points of the darkening shadows, causing spikes of interest in the corner of the onlookers eyes. The plain fields filled with nothing and also everything, even with the lack of colour, only the changing of light making the non permanent fixtures wherever they strike. And, for the careful observer, there is much more there than that to be found, as the patterns hidden slowly start to emerge from the top to the ground, and sometimes even surge up from all the levels never reachable until visible with the changing of day and night. 

The continuous struggle, the fight of coming to life, whether a shadow or a blip of light, continues on the walls of eternity, for those whom seek to see, as without the struggle there would be no light nor shadow, simply a whole plain of greys, but then again, maybe some of us could find the nuances and structures inside those planes as well. It is simply the matter of searching and then finding out what those are, as it really is, mostly art and that is a good start.

What mysteries lie hidden at the very end of the long dark tunnel?

“There are always hidden treasures to be found, total mysteries to uncover, when daring to adventure thought the never ending tunnel, leading to places never discovered.” Gun Roswell

What mysteries lie hidden at the very end of the long dark tunnel?

Feeling ever so daring, with that whole feeling of getting, into the unexpected, the unknown

The mind and the body simply tingling, with total excitement they are both singing

Just because of the ever present and all around lurking danger

The expectations of finding something so odd, never before seen and special

But mostly, the not knowing of what really lies ahead, being reckless instead of safe

As is the curious mind, always on the prowl, to find, something else, than simply what is, the daily grind

Because what is life, without at least, a little piece of adventure?

What lies beyond the barriers, the stone walls?

“There is always something out there, something worth while to visit” Gun Roswell 

What lies beyond the barriers, the stone walls?

The archway beckoning, for the visitor to come calling, to step through the very gate, the doorway, out there, to go and figure out, what it is all about, perhaps even the answers to life itself, all the mysteries becoming unraveled as after there travelled, something could easily be revealed, so, why not take a chance, and into the deep dive, proverbially of course, as the source, the key, is right there, at the port, simply waiting for the weary seeker, to step right through, just like that, like decided out of the blue.

Walking to the end of the long pier

“Walking to the very end of the pier, well, look around, you don’t have to be a seer, to predict this outcome!” Gun Roswell


Walking to the end of the long pier

Predictions of a good view? Reserved, for the chosen few?

Hardly those as at all, as anyone could walk down the long way, finding the same display, as the rest of us could see gleaming from the seashore, never a bore, is the greeting for us in store.

The blues across the horizon, whether the sun or moon is on the rising.

Whatever the time of the day, it does not matter as this, this is the best place.

The end of the pier, is where the sights so dear are seen.

So, why would anyone want to go anywhere else at all?

Well, simply because, this place is not reachable by most.

And maybe the seaside is not even your very special thing.

But whatever the case is, whether you love or maybe even hate it.

Just try it once, take that walk down the long pier and who knows.

Maybe you too, will become a believer of the moon, the sun and even

The view at the end of the pier.
