Power

end of season storm

sail boat tossed onto highway

nature’s at the helm –

the illusion of power

a human fraility

Flower of the Day FOTD

A leaf for Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge. I think it’s called Dusty Miller. Very velvety to the touch and seem to strive this time of year.

Yeah! I looked it up, I can’t believe I remembered the name😊!!

Prickly.. coneflower from my garden

tripping past loose lips as ploy

spawning disquiet –

the rabbit hole needs some light

Evening

Taken off the pier in my neighborhood two evenings ago.

in celebration

of muting gray skies-

evenings flourish

Solitude

The consumed moon

frees itself creating shapes

with edges of pale yellow dreams.

Forming silhouettes with dim accuracy,

scrawling scenes right for rich imaginations,

poof of painted mirth.

On this night, in this sky
soothing in its quiet and beauty

solitudes wish fulfilled.
