With opaline fire
On the edge of
Turquoise bowl
Day begins again.

Photographed in
My mind are a
Thousand such
Passings…

Like an album
Of family portraits
With people looking
Similar but different

Each beginning
And ending of time
Measured by events
In my life

That will fade from
Existence with me.


Our importance
Transient as the
Light that changes
With passing cloud

Measured in memory
Of those who care…
Those precious few
Souls we embrace

How can we be
Foolish enough to
Think ourselves
More than we are?

Opaline fire on
The edge of a turquoise
Bowl… waxing…
Waning … gone

Transient as the
Changing light…

I dated a gal called Opaline once, or do I disremember?
What clearly defined images you provide with you pallette of words.
Some folks take themselves too seriously and believe themselves more important than they are.
The true measure of wealth and importance is measured by the friends you make along the way and how important you are to them.
Got wordified again, huh?
