always in motion
dances through the day
Waves bring the tide

EDGE OF THE WORLD
Looking off the edge of the world
surrounded by sapphire waters
here sky and water meet
no words, no song
can match the startling beauty
that is almost too much
for one poor heart to bear

Nature
There is a magic in nature
that soothes the soul
and refreshes the heart
reminding us we’re just one part
of a greater whole
A child dreams of magic
dancing in the spring
grown-ups long for love
when did we forget
that they’re the same thing
Crystal — Stevie Nicks
About the pic, snapped in October (spring in NZ) Queenstown Botanical Park, Queenstown, NZ I fell in love with this orchid-like flower. I believe it is an “Orchid Lights” variety of rhododendron based on the stamens and huge size of the “shrub” which was well over two meters tall.

For Maria Antonia’s #2020picoftheweek — my prompt: Treetops
Looking Up
Looking up I see the sky
shining bright before my eyes
looking down, I seen green grass
don’t see the ice, fall on my ass
I see treetops filtering the sun
don’t even care about my aching bum

Maria Antonia’s 2020picoftheweek #13 — On the Road
STUCK INSIDE
Stuck inside while the hours roll by
instead of the miles
how I miss the drone of my tires
on hot asphalt
taking me to places never seen before
for life wasn’t meant
to be lived in one place
and I am not the same person
having seen the sun rise
on the other side of the world
On The Road Again — Willie Nelson

For Maria Antonia’s 2020picoftheweek challenge # 12 — my prompt for this week — details
and for Kammie’s Oddball Photo Challenge
Love Locks
Love is not found in grand passion
nor in the splendid hues of sunrise
Love lives in the little things
the twinkle in the eye
at a well time joke
the brush of your body against mine
love doesn’t lie in the words we say
but in those tiny details
of life we live day after day
What Is Life — George Harrison
