After all.......iv

panskaya.photosight.ru

What's the point of looking
back
when so much lies ahead
and in me?
What's the point of ruminating
over broken glass
shattered dreams
cracked mirrors
stabs in the back?
They are meant to be.
I am with me in this moment
and I am with this moment 
in me and
I am with you in this communion
and I am with communion in you
at this moment
and that's enough
for nothing needs to be 
done
said
thought
imagined.

Only the living and the life.

After all......iii

italvizion.photosight.ru

Those moments of bliss
took me in
and in
and further in
and now after all
is said and done
I want to savour
every moment of
that blissful eternity
and simply dissolve 
into it -
no more struggles
no more entanglements
and no more disappointments.
All this love
helps me discover
and re-form myself
in contentment.

After all ......ii

paolo.photosight.ru

They said it was
the usual stuff -
betrayals, desertions
hurts and denials,
Each one was a lifetime
of misery, unhealing wounds
until I chose to take a new birth.
All that drained out 
thoroughly 
leaving only the strength
in my cells
and the light in my eyes
and the ears that listen
to the music in every heartbeat.
After all I am living.

There was light....i

romanmordashev.photosight.ru

Chirping woke me up
and it was still outside
dawn yet to break
Stepping out
to wrap myself
in the exhilarating breeze
I realized 
it was still dark:
that darkness before
the soul soars high
above passions
that darkness
in which you guard
your sacred wishes
waiting patiently;
and just as I chose to 
retrace my steps
there was light
from the dawn break.

After all

yaga.photosight.ru

After all was said
and achieved
and celebrated
there remains
the notion
of a void:
what next?
what more to life?
what more from life?
Then it hits you
the hollowness of the question.
Don't add living to life
Just cancel out the notion
of the life there.
It's here and now
and you are living
and that's all.

To deal with this
incredible opulence
of beauty 
I turn to 
nature:
the trees whisper
their secrets to me -
take, not grab
spread, not stamp
grow, not groan
and share,but not shear.
I enjoy the abundance
and not splash it
and love the 
attention that I get
knowing it will
last only so long
but it's the moment
and the exhilaration
that would belong 
to someone else 
after me.  
Beauty is indestructible.

In fullness of time
everything ripens
to fruition
and everything blooms
to perfection.
I have ripened in flesh
and bloomed in
my mind
and now find
it so tricky
to contain it within.
I just want to flow
and overflow
and give
and unite
with all that is inviting 
and appealing
in this vastness of beauty
and truth.

Softness 5

malessa.photosight.ru

Treading softly
not to disturb 
the grass
that rustles softly 
in the breeze
dawn and dusk;
I recall so many 
dawns that promised
softness of life
and rustled by
while I busied 
myself in the bustle
and saved my 
soul in castles 
of safety.
Stepping out 
now with 
nothing to protect
except my self
by my self
I at once
am in touch 
with all that 
fertile land
in front 
and inside
softly.

In Love with Life 7

yaga.photosight.ru

So much of the blue ocean and more
so much of the open sky and more
so much of the effervescence of the waves and more
I am breathing free
and the breath is freeing me
of all my delusions and miseries
- all washed and then swallowed 
by the great ocean of love:
I love this life 
and to be living is bliss.

Softness 4

yaga.photosight.ru

The sun smiles 
softly
the sea murmurs
softly
The waves splash
softly
I murmur to 
my soul
- calm & ease
quietly loosen
the knots carried and kept
hidden
and from somewhere
deep down
in the softness of my flesh
there is a hint
of a smile
grace and 
bliss.......

Softness 3

sergio800.photosight.ru

And when I saw the 
incredible richness
of all life surrounding
me
I wondered how
I will hold all this in
my slender mortal frame -
softness then whispered
to me:
you aren't a container
you are beauty
just take in all that you care for
and let it melt inside you and 
become a part of you
and let it flow 
and let it enrich 
all that you care for
and love.
Let love blossom.

Softness 2

sergio800.photosight.ru

The soft light
whispers secrets of
its own soul:
every moment stretches
into eternity
so pay attention to the continuity
of that moment and this moment
here and now
with all your cells
and let not temptations
bother you
There is beauty incomparable
in the softness of light
touch yourself
and touch it and let it spread
inside you and outside you
and let it dissolve with you.

Softness 1

sergio800.photosight.ru

A quiet pause
after much adulation
adoration and
admiration;
I felt it needed
to be kept aside
lest it burdened 
and trapped
my spontaneous flow;
to simply touch 
the softness of 
all things soulful
and savour its
timeless beauty;
I think softness
deserves all attention
from all my senses.

Another World 2

sanji-hit.photosight.ru

Insouciance
after days of deprivation - 
we met & merged
into that unknown realm 
of dissolution;
Among many things
I left behind
and let go 
was my old 
weatherbeaten
soul,
which had become 
a robe
to cover my nakedness:
desires denied
impulse ignored
yearnings yanked off
and love locked.
And now is this
another world 
right here
inside me and outside
and its growing to 
envelope the whole universe.
and it's another me

Another world 1

sanji-hit.photosight.ru

Dreaming of another world
in which 
dreams turn into 
reality
instantly;
no dark thoughts
no evil designs
no temptations suppressed
and no self destructive impulses.
I fly on the wings of love
seeing green fields below
golden harvests of health
harmony
and happiness
rivers of affections
valleys of tranquility
.....and then I dream 
of wakefulness!

Tempest 1

lEgor.photosight,ru

Not that this is the first time
but it's peculiar that I got
caught in this tempest
- a making of mine;
Passions raged almost
vengefully
I had to trample upon 
the world;
then it rained and it 
dawned -
a morning of futility;
exhaustion of dealing
with the worldly and
the wicked;
and then the tempest played 
on my mindscreen
and I am now gathering
all those pieces of mine
- discovering how precious.

All that weighs me down
I bear now with a smile
for that's Nature's gifts
for me to share
with all who care
What a joy to see
joy multiply
when shared!
Oh, those norms of bygone eras -
blow them away on your kisses
and those doubts and dogmas
of minds sick and crazy!
Let them be ground in dust
as we weave magical fabrics
of love with designs of passion
for all those who live with their senses
All that weighs me down
I now bear with a smile!

photographer: Okinin, photodom.com

To a life
accustomed to scarcity
it is a challenge
to accept
and handle riches;
hoard one cannot
as the world knows
spend one cannot
as the hand draws back.
So here I am
choosing to spread
and share
not trade
and fear.
There were inhibitions
aplenty
now let there be the
uninhibited plenty.


 

In love with life 6

fregat1971.photosight.ru

Absolved of
all hubris
all knots
and residues
grudges and hate
I am feeling so light
and full of light
and fulfilled
and contented
that I need to remind
myself of being living
and so chose the bed of pebbles by the
seaside
but
this feeling pervades all
and simply absorbs me
and there is nothing
I want to do
so let life be and let
love be.
 

In Love with life 5

fregat1971.photosight.ru

absorbed amidst
the ebb and flow of life
in self
in anchoring in self
holding on but
ever so lightly
and slightly
to supports of life and
supporters of life
taking int he eternal play
of the waves
inside and outside
the sea inside and outside
the breeze inside
and outside
and in the experience
merging with that which was
experienced.
That's the beauty of existence
and the truth of existence
 

In Love with Life 4

sergtimos.photosight.ru

How I love the rough texture
of the dried bark
that hides the flow
of the juices of life!
Tried I have
to not hide
the rough and tumble
of life that goes
through my veins!
It goes on and on
leaving behind
all that dried and died
and that's what I love,,
Living is so fresh
here, there, inside
and outside.
 

In love with life 3

igmar.photosight.ru

There is light
and there is darkness,
no denying.
You trust and
you are held,
but at times
you trust and
are turned away.
No denying.
Yet I trust
for I trust myself
in my guts and my loins
and I trust my flesh
and my body
and the blood that courses
in my veins;
and I value and hold
my love for life
and my love for the light
of it all.
You will see that light when
you fling self in love
and then nothing
remains but the love
the love of life

In love with life 2

igmar.photosight.ru

The power of love
I discovered
when I gave it
fully, heartily and
unreservedly
I flowed with it
I drowned it
only to emerge
rejuvenated every time
never looked back
on the accidents and barriers.
The power of love
made me strong
in flesh and spirit
and I carry on
loving life in all its
forms and shapes.
 

In Love with Life -1

igmar.photosight.ru

Fire of adolescence passed
into the fury of youth
intoxicating madness
high adventures
sunshine and snow
peaks and valleys
- through all of it
spirits ripened
souls met
love blossomed
and now
- though ways parted
verve remains to make
every moment
the glorious truth of love.

By the sea 5

mark_meir_paluksht.photosight.ruI

I made my choices
and my choices
made me;
I bared my soul to none
except you my
dear old friend
waves of sea and
sea of waves
My knees are strong
to wade through
these waters
and when the depth
is reached
I will swim across
braving the wind
and the chill
for I know there is warmth
in your ample bosom
Oh, my soulmate
the all-accepting One!

Solitude by Rocks 8

igovoronco.photosight.ru

Meditations of centuries
live unmovingly
in the aesthetics of the
Great Hand of the Universe
The unmanifest speaks to me
as I meditate upon
the course and discourse
of life
and I discover the flow
that caused this pause
and the fire that came
to rest in this molten
crucible of all that has
been and all that
would be.

Light incredibly....

www.photosight.ru/photos/5691278

In the midst of nowhere
carrying nothing but nothingness
thoughts fly away to fade
into horizons
as the dusk falls
leaving me with
only being
being simply aware
of the light
the pure air
the softness
and the light
around
within
incredibly..


 

All I got..

artnu-matveev,photosight.ru

In the dark alleys of this
dreary existence
it's all I got...
to walk through darkness
holding high
proudly possessing
this lithe frame
and agile heels
and a strength no one
would suspect.
Challenges I love
but betrayals I detest
and cowardice I trample upon.
I meet life head on
and frontally
for I trust the heart
that throbs.


 

The Lotus

maier.photosight.ru

Lotus I am
waiting to bloom
when it will
petals open to the
limitless skies
reflecting glories
eternal and infinite
and yet fading out
and giving in to
the watery end.
Pond I am
with memories muddying
the bottoms
and settling down to clear
waters on top
letting things run 
deep.
And I watch lotuses bloom 
and fade
and days turn 
into nights 
and spring into
autumn
and time
going round and round
to remain still.
I am still the time. 

The Bountiful

sergtimos.photosight.ru

Neither effort nor intent
were needed
only being there
not yearning or yielding
just receiving
the bounty of grace
uttering nothing
not even a thought 
to disturb the flow
of all that came in
and lit everything
inside out
infinite bliss. 

Beyond time...

 


http://www.photosight.ru/photos/5598628/

Those fleeting moments
of togetherness
of merging
submerging
and emerging
and I let my-self go
and float
Now there is floating
beyond
time
space
only the being
timeless
vast and infinite.

Gathering up

 http://www.photosight.ru/photos/5581124/

Pushed to the wall
Life scattered me all over first
Tossed me from betrayal to denial
Exploitation to humiliation
and then...
I gathered my self up
not knowing if I could
survive and sustain
But soon I will get to my feet
knowing well answers don't
tumble in unless you stumble.
I trust my guts and my 
cuts
and the blood that throbs in
my veins. 

The Opening 2

kalynksy.photosight.ru

What did I shut out?
Whom did I shut up?
What did I open up?
Whom did I open up?
What did I look up to ?
Whom did I look up to?
What did I not see?
Whom did I not see?
Life is opening up again
and I need to close those questions. 
Not an open and shut case.

The Opening 1

kalynsky.photosight.ru

Life seen through openings
Framed by deadwood
Life made inside out
Front and back
 Face and mask
Dualities abound
Not allowing a touch
with the real and 
the living 
All living is only
touching the sides
of openings
never passing through.

By the Waterfall - 2

bifidumbakterin.photosight.ru

The ancient is here
in incessant flow
The dark here is 
enlightened in its
rhythmic glow
The green shoots
newly remind of
the transitoriness
of existence
and I am caught 
here between
ambition and
yearnings
afraid of my own
flow and freedom 

By the Waterfall - 1

bifidumbakterin.photosight.ru

Life hurtles down
the sheer rocky walls
of the insurmountable
mountains
never ever giving up
for a moment
leaves behind all
that refuses to let go
purifying itself
in that moment
and then comes the time
when it finds its flow
all quiet all cool
and all collected 
waiting to meet 
its own soulmate
vastness of all that was
all that is
and all that will be. 

Between the sky and the earth 5

schtadler.photosight.ru

Vast wonders
seen through
tiny eyes
Long distances
covered by
small steps
Big worlds
fertilised from
atoms and particles
Deep meanings 
unearthed from
short strokes
of brush and pen 
shovel and axe
All is done when
mind pure is
united with love
divine.
 

Exuberance

sla007.photosight.ru

Captivated by nature's exuberance
growing tall
growing wide
spreading shade
sharing fruit and seed
from the depths of 
femininity
filled with nurturance
waiting to flow
from amplitude
of breasts 
all that I nurtured
inside my strong loins
Everything simply wanting
to burst forth 
in this world of love
and beauty

Communion with Nature 2

sla007.photosight.ru

Feeling light
within and without
I am beside myself
when I see these tiny
flowers
touch them feel them
take in their fragrance
and a thousand flowers
spring and bloom 
from every pore of mine
and it is as though
I am bringing them forth
in the world
hold them up to suckle me
and fulfil me
in every which way
and I am waiting to flower
through my breasts 
and everywhere...... 

Solitude in Green

sla007.photosight.ru

Clear skies
clear eyes
tender leaves
tender skin
Soft light
Soft curves
Caressing breeze
caressing leaves
Everything just right
Nothing left to sight.
Everything is love
Love is beauty. 

Between sky and earth 4

ivanmironov.photosight.ru

Things that grow
always look up 
to the skies
for nourishment
and I belong to this earth
drawing from it
upon it
and finally giving unto it
It is not that the earth is
because the skies pour into it
nor that the sky is 
because it is the earth that
carries it
but both earth and sky are
because I am in between
loving them for
eternity. 

Love4

igor70.photosight.ru

Is there some magic
to your words?
They take my soul
in captivity and
transport it to
realms undreamt of
where time stands still
and memory dissolves
All is love and love is
all and there is
neither me nor you
and yet there is love. 

Firm and flowing

mikhailkrilov.photosight.ru

Calmness does not stop
currents underneath
But there has been ease
with the flow
Thoughts come and go
and I keep watching
clouds in the sky
It's been quiet for a while now
and so serene
The breeze is so gentle
and it whispers to me
to find a base
I wonder for what
Yet I have learnt to obey all
things natural.. 

Love 3

rzachar.photosight.ru

Am lost in love
that's showering down 
from the skies 
enlivening every cell
in my body
every throb in my
heart and
every moment
of my existence
I know not 
where I am
what I am
and what of
me is there
any more.

The Sigh of the Rock

rzachar.photosight.ru

Storms raged
Tempests trounced
All that lived and grew
pushing me to the edge
of this rocky wall
which alone offers
support and protection
Till the dawn of another
day
I will hold on
cling to this rough
yet sure hand of support
from a lifeless rock
but wait....
what's this I hear....
It's the sigh that 
started aeons ago
and is only now 
heard from 
the closed lips
of this mighty
rock!
 

Between earth and sky 3

almis.photosight.ru

The hurricane brought down
trees and plants
a few bushes remain
I watch the clouds float
across the sky
it has been like this
since time immemorial
My moods float across
the sky of my being
Has it been there too
for times unknown?
Am I going to merge
into the elements 
too
and become the sky? 

Between sky and earth 2

almis.photosight.ru

A few slender blades of grass
the breeze lulled into quiet
Light beams flit across
a darkening sky -
almost shy of its vastness
in front of my all-seeing eyes -
and I rest on my shadow
softly
waiting to be transported
to those vast spaces 
of light and gratitude. 

Between sky and earth 1

almis.photosight.ru

Between earth and sky
I stand gazing ahead
and see life
spread out among
stones and bushes
seeping through
mud and sands
flashing light
in darkness
Between memory and present
I want to fly off
into the clouds and
rainbows.
But where else
can I get warmth
except on this earth?

Living trees

http://www.photoline.ru/author/32455?rz=c

Shorn of tenderness 
gone are the leaves
leaving bare
the bark, the branch and the trunk
But life flows within
drawing upon its roots
waiting
waiting for another day
another fall
the rainfall.
It's enchanting
the way things happen
to change the outlook
no pushing no frothing.
I fancy some of it
rub into me.

Solitude by rocks 7

shuryan.photosight.ru

Everything is a piece
in this wilderness
of something.
Dried to the bone
all life squeezed out
I find a kindred soul
in this rough-hewn
unknown nameless
god-forsaken rock
that minds nothing
but allows soil to gather
for the grass to grow.
Fade it may into pale
yellow but will turn
anew into a vibrant green
when clouds gather
to celebrate life.
I know in my bones
life still flows in my veins.
