Reflecting five

Posted in the Daily Post: Reflecting

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

A tall glass building
May reflect a life gilded
But, it may be for show off or filming
Not something, to live in

Reflecting one

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

The water, reflecting
My thoughts, collecting
To the future, directing
My life, connecting

Reflecting four

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

A muddy water puddle
May reflect, a self image more subtle
Maybe even elicit a chuckle

Reflecting two

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

Rainfall, on the leaves
Gently, in the wind heave
Reflecting, an image perceived
Nature, trying to deceive
Is it really summer, or winter’s eve?

Reflecting three

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

Suburban windows on fire
Reflecting, nature’s dire
Soon, the night will fall
Trying, this moment to stall
The gorgeous display admire
Until, the sun has retired

Reflecting six

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

Reflecting cool blue waters
Reflecting blue cloudy skies
An image without borders
A life simple without lies

Camera Lucida: Reflections

Poetry and Photography
Posted in week #13 of Camera Lucida Photo Challenge, Reflections

“It’s always interesting to look at reflections…are they really the same as the reality?
How many times did you look at your own reflection and wondered if that’s how the world sees you…?”

“The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face”
William Makepeace Thackeray

Camera Lucida: Reflections

Glass, wood, concrete
How this scene to complete?
Add a dash of colour
Maybe a selfie to follow?

Through the looking glass
Time slowly will pass
The observer’s delight
Is the turning of the light

Scenery, water, skies
Even a high rise
At this altitude
The surprise is an absolute

“When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light” Austin O’Malley

Shadow Play in October Part Two

The October sun’s shadows
Casting tall and narrow
The darkened figures
Painting abstract pictures
Onto every surface

Carefully you listen
But the only sound
Is the soft whistle
Of the Autumn leaves
Landing on the ground

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller

Shadow Play in October Part One

The sun in zenith
Standing beneath it
My shadow casting tall
Despite feeling small

The shadows at play
On this October day
Wish I could stay
A while longer
