Dark glasses in the sun hiding blindness
I’ve been running ahead while looking back
until
collecting silent clues
I’m becoming a butterfly amongst the bees
winging it
as I find my way
down the dark passage
of singing shells

Finding a winter rhythm this year is a bit like being in a jerky elevator…..best laid plans, just get to the floor and open the door. The words coming slow in a weathered suspension, collecting clues from poems becoming puzzles….meaning pivoting on just one word … the rhythm finding me in a slow molasses changing well- engrained routines, unsettling boundaries used to the intimacies of osmosis.
What an inspiring picture and poem! Well done, my friend! Thank you for sharing 🙂 Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂

Wonderful poetry and gorgeous picture. ‘-running ahead while looking back’…how often we do this, but then you capture the moment with the butterfly, how apt to be winging it, intuitively. Love this Jana.

Momentum can be tricky…. but truth is a real trickster. One minute you have legs, the next … fragile wings

Are you trying to tell me my rhythm is like elevator music? 🙂
