Solitude by Rock 4

Алтай.2013
solowey_70.photosight.ru

In the middle of nowhere
life juts out
and inside me
I search for cover
only to discover
life everywhere
even in the rocks that
stand and offer
of themselves
to the winds and the grass
and the wayward souls
out to reach into themselves.

Innocence 3

У озера***
valerje.photosight.ru

No secrets left
after I revealed
everything -
heart, body and soul.
I ask for nothing
yearn for nothing
revel in the moment
Let roughness smoothen
dryness turn green
and love take the plunge.

Innocence 2

Лето ... ***
valerje.photosight.ru

Look you may
but beckon me not
for I know not
the games you play
Love you may
but possess me not
for I know not
the knots you tie
Leave you may
but carry me not
for I may yet
follow my heart's desires.

Innocence 1

Innocence
my breath n my life
Not knowing
not needing to know
Just taking in freshness
Clouds cast no shadows
Storms erase no smiles
Beauty shines through my
pores
Even purity trembles
in presence of innocence
Love pervades..

Solitude by rocks 3




****
kral.photosight.ru

I am a wandering minstrel
telling stories 
singing songs
to the trees and
the rocks
of hearts meeting hearts
of love hurting love
of spirits soaring high
and men killing men.
Trees sway in disbelief
Rocks are unmoved
in their supreme knowledge 
of folly and fallibility.

Run away I haven't
at least not yet
I know they will 
keep company
always:
my past, happy and hurtful
my hopes, passing and passionate
my fears, floating and rooted
They circle me, protect me
support me, silence me too.
Now I am going to 
talk to them one by one
in silence and communion.
Only the rocks can listen in.

Crowds I left behind
and crowds I still carry
away from the madding
crowds.
In the company of rocks
I allow thoughts to rock
until they tire out
and rest like rocks
weatherbeaten
rugged
unmoving
quietly chipping away
yet keeping their ownness.
I am touching the rocks
in me.  Alone.

Lost in being 2

***
malessa.photosight.ru

Discovering sensuality
Owning erotic me
I revelled in the ecstasy
of dissolving self
and transcending union 
That was pure divine joy
Now I know not
where I am
lost in 
being.

Lost in being 1

***
malessa.photosight.ru

Disappointments, loss
betrayals, dejections
I faced all
But face I could not
my own yearnings
for being held and
touched
Holding myself
together
I find myself
still lost
in being.

By the sea - 5

***


I wake up facing 
a quandary:
plunge, pause
or pull on.
Everything around invites
to take a plunge
but the light is fading,
the touch is alluring though.
There is beauty
of the waves forming
inside the mind
and I am slowly
entering the ocean 
of my mind.
 
 

By the sea-4

***


Time stands still
Murmur of the waves fall silent
Yearnings wash away
Dreams dissolve
A quiet spreads all over
and across
When the mind ceases 
to  expect
it ceases to mind
all goings on
Let existence
float and let 
happiness happen. 

By the sea-3

On the Beach #3
ams2005.photosight.ru

Not building castles
in the sand
I lay on my back 
and rolled in the sands
of time
Waves are good company
roaring with laughter
caressing with whispers
retreating without rancour
washing all that resides
freely with care
here now and gone away
only to return
again and
again.
 

By the sea-2

Штурман
ams2005.photosight.ru

Am learning by the sea
to hold together
deadness and flow
at the same time;
delicate harshness
of a reality full of dreams
I can see far while
holding to 
the dry strength of
the present
My life floats in 
the air on
the water not
knowing not 
needing to know
happy in itself. 

By the sea-1

Афродита
ams2005.photosight.ru

Everything is so transitory
here now and gone then
only the elements  go on
The water on my skin
Thoughts in my mind
Spirit in my body
I stay in the eternity
of their transience
Glory be to existence
so transitory
yet so immense.

Those moments...

***
abcphoto.photosight.ru

Those moments of ecstasy
riding the crest of waves
after waves of the joy of union
and those agonies of
endless wait and doubt
I lay them to rest here
in peace, quiet and grace.
I am with the imperturbable
now with all burdens
unloaded
all blemishes
washed.

to be in step

Barefoot on the stairs
geneoryx.photosight.ru

To be in step
with the eternal
beat of the vastness
and the fastness
is to lose
one's sense
of limitedness
and merge
the eternal with
the transient.
I am that
and that is me.
