Quandary ...3


http://www.photoline.ru/author/32455?now=24&rz=c

To step out
from the comfort
of darkness
is to expose
my self to
the uncaring
harsh
selfish world.
And there
is the light outside
which they don't like
and so
they hide
they shield
they build edifices
and then hang
chandeliers.
Keep the light out
and bring lighting in.
I am privy to the ways
of the world
and I don't care anymore.

Quandary ...2



HelenKas.photosight.ru

Light plays with darkness
or is it the other way round?
I want to own the world
and loan my self -
Strange it does sound!
When I want to be left alone
There's always somebody
who wants to come closer
When I want to play 
with the world
a strange silence comes over
I need to learn
to listen to the silences
in my heart.

Quandary


anatoliy solodobnikov in photoline.ru

Not that I
don't know
my mind;
it's just that
I am not able
to make it up.
I could erase 
the shadows 
of my past
by simply lying
flat on the ground
or I could face
the heat by 
standing up
for myself
and opening up
to search and
scrutiny.
I am searching 
for that light.

Discovery ..2



ppjukam.photosight.ru


I feel like a vine
gently swaying
in the softest breeze
with my petit frame
adorned modestly
by a clear skin
covering tenderness
of limbs
and as I sway
a realisation
slowly dawns
of the femininity in me
- to be gentle with life
to whisper softly
the unbounded love
that fills up my heart
not splashing it
not overpowering
but to simply waft
in and out like
fresh air.

My world....



shakeSA.photosight.ru


Times there are 
when I need
to push away
concerns other 
than mine
when I am
my world 
and my self
with layers
peeled away
of appearances
pretences
paints and shimmer
To bare is to dare
To see is to be
To stop is to top
and to forgive self
is to live.

Solitude by Rocks....11



AISm.photosight.ru

Is Solitude Solid?
There's no room for
anything to enter,
thoughts chip away though
like the wind beating
at the rocky surface
hoping to make a mark
or a dent
Let the sun beat against
my raw skin
and I have the rocks
to lean on -
sure support through
ages
I will endure
the elements
but I continue to cherish
this great time with
the greatness of
contemplation upon
my self
Let the world wait
outside.

Solitude by Rocks 10



medvedeva_nika.photosight.ru

I am alone
but 
I don't feel alone.
Here
is the vastness of
the ocean
the omniscience of
the sun
the solidity of the
rock 
and the limitless sky
We are in silent
communication.
I tell them of
the ocean of emotions
the light that gleams 
from the recesses of the 
mind
and the firmness of my 
resolve
and they all whisper
the one secret into my ears
"Let it be"

Not all things....



igovoronco.photosight.ru

Not long ago
did I realise
that not all things
of this world
were needed
for me any more.
Ego bred envy
and happiness 
fed ego.
Love bought
betrayal and 
anger wrought
havoc.
Simplicity stood by 
me and I learnt
to carry it
everywhere.

The Original Act...



greeneyed.photosight.ru

To marvel at nature

in its process of

fruition

was the original act

of reason.

To call it the original sin

was the original folly

of mankind

which wished to put

the blame on

eve for all the mess

that men created

from their naked pursuit

of power over everything

except themselves.

A thing in the mind...



andrey196.photosight.ru

To gain strength
and counter force
I went to equal
men
in their pursuit of
brute strength
and work it
didn't.
They still saw
me the weaker
one
and so did I
and that was
it.
It was a thing
in the mind
that turned
and I saw
myself as
the stronger one
and not in opposition
but in step.
The mind clear
the body is clearer.

Solitude by Rocks........9



igovoronco.photosight.ru

In the light 
from above
I realise
the slippery ground
on which I stand.
But to move
there is only one
way
- step into swirling
waters.
Solitude was my rock
and there I bared
my soul to my self.
Now the light from above
reminds me
of the shadows
that chased me.
Was I truly alone
and open
and bare?

You and me.....4



david-foto.photosight.ru


It's now time to wait

for things to work 

their way up

for the wine to mature

I will wait

and be with my thoughts

and feelings

slowly they turn over

I remain quiet, watching

in silence their slow

dance of life

and in the end

life envelops them

and wraps up.

That's when I will open

my eyes and see

all of you.

You and me.......3



david-foto.photosight.ru

Well, what can I do

but to share the bounty

with all those who know

fine taste of life?

What I get is not mine

alone but the joy of sharing 

it with the world.

I need my world

to share what Nature

bestows upon me

That makes me feel

complete and fulfilled.





You and me....2


david-foto.photosight.ru

This rich vineyard of life

Grapes ripen for picking

Nature makes me feel so bountiful

I love this earth, the vines

the leaves and the grapes

They never turn their back

on me

You and me.....1



david-foto.photosight.ru


Telling you
that I need you
makes me look
weak in front
of you.
And I don't want
to appear strong
in whatever way.
I am not complete 
unless I give up
all of myself
then I think not
of what remains.
I still remain
in that wonderful
unity which is 
not so distant now.
If you don't come
I may just wait
and then just 
trun to the other side.
