Palm Springs commercial photography


I feel it’s good a time to end the day          
when  sea merges its gray into the sky –
I long to disappear somewhere away
where futile dreams won’t ever let me cry.
But my boat sails lose wind though hard I try                
to hold fast the ropes to steer me on course
and I drift aimless as an empty sigh
the rhythmic sound of waves a silent force
The darkened mountains have cut off light’s source                            
their brooding shadows shroud my solitude
they match my mood, escape is no recourse
surrender to madness mere interlude

I tuck myself to meld into the night
have faith that nature’s calm will be my light.

Your words put the picture in motion.  
Enjoyed the gray watercolors.

Very deep sonnet jjote, weaving those words around to give the reader chills, but there is a light at the end, and that is very good..

"I tuck myself to meld into the night

Wow, heartfelt words.

You write such lovely poetry and always with such nice pictures too!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.
