Photo 101 – Day Six: Connect

In this age of social media, we hear the word connect often, don’t we? Connect with us on Facebook! Connect with me on LinkedIn! Given what today’s technologies can do, it feels like the world is getting smaller, and we’re more connected than ever before.
There are many ways to interpret this theme: from a gadget to a handshake, from a bridge to a gathering among friends. What’s yours?

To me…

Every one of us
Is connected
When we embrace
That connection
And realize that
Not only are we
Connected to one another
But to all living things
And to the universe
Then life becomes
The happiness that it is meant to be.

We are here
To experience
To live
To learn.

There are a few here
On this realm of existence
Who have evolved
Who are willing
To share their knowledge
Wisdom and love.

All one needs to do
Is to begin the search
Open your eyes
Your mind
Your heart
Let that natural goodness prevail.

This connection
That we all share
Will someday get us to where
We all so desperately crave to be
Living in joy
Living in peace
Where all of us are truly free…

A balcony And A Glass Of Red Wine

One should always be drunk. That’s all that matters…But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.
― Charles Baudelaire

Beautiful
Flowing
Blooming

Stargazer

“She met a boy and called him Stargazer because instead of poems, he recited the names of constellations. He said the freckles on his arms were roadmaps to the sky, and the bruises that he carried were supernovas in disguise.
-Alaska Gold, Stargazer

Smiling Daffodils

“Do you see our smiles?”, the flowers asked me.
I reply back, “Yes, I see them all the time.”
“Come then…Smile with us.”

 

My Daffodils

 

Nodding to the song of humming birds
Daffodil speaks whispered words
To the sunshine as it spills
It’s golden hue on petals trims
Bending on a green stem
Honeybees dance around them
Ruffled collar, white and yellow bloom
Bursting buds chase winter’s gloom
Gone the rains and bitter chill
Banished by the daffodil

A Starling That Is Nothing But Superb

What would I give to be a bird
I would fly up
and up
and up
Up beyond the city lights
and far across the countryside
into the sky and away
away
I’d dive between planets
and bathe in the stardust
What would I give to be a bird…

Atlanta Flamingo

Flamingos are my VERY favorite bird,
I love their adorable faces and their feathers of soft
Dark pink satin
They look so innocent and sweet
Never fly away, my sweet birds…

Georgia’s Wild Daffodil

Meadow luster glistening,
upon a wild Daffodil.

Smoldering reflections
of her nakedness exposed.
