“I’d thought I wanted to live free of my mundane little cage, but the world outside was feeling more and more hazardous.”
― Shannon Hale

Through the Looking Glass

It’s just glass
See-through mass
Push real hard
And through it you will pass

“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor

Temple of Blue

Don’t just stand there and stare
Enter, if you dare
We will not give you a scare
(Much anyway 😉 )

A bookcase is as good as a view, as much of a panorama as the sight of a city or a river. There are dawns and sunsets in books – storms and zephyrs” Anatole Broyard

Panorama

Through the peep hole
The hidden cove
A real treasure trove
My poor little heart stole

“The mind should turn into a serene and stormless lake, where is reflected the complete panorama of the starry sky” Samael Aun Weor

The beckoning turquoise
Water’s surface flawless
Diving in like a tortoise

Sunrise in the warmest of hue
Reflected against the coolest of blue
Another day begins anew

“I must go in. The fog is rising” EMILY ELIZABETH DICKINSON

Night on the Bench

Surrounded by misty air
Missed the last fare
Sitting on the park bench
Wishing I had worn a trench
The eerie surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a soul in sight
On this mystical night
Wrapping my coat tighter
My mood getting lighter
I hear some noises
A car approaches
Finally, I have a ride!

A Bench to Sit on

“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige

A Bench to Sit on

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea” Mikhail Lermontov

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day Six

In the far away land
Where ever your camera pans
Seashores covered with sand
Mountains tall will stand
The bluest of seas command
What could be more grand
