Celestial Dream - a photo on Flickriver

Celestial Dream

            We've broken all kinds of rain records this year. I'm really missing Spring - even the sound of lawn mowers would be wonderful about now. When the sun broke through the tiniest bit yesterday I hurried to the ocean and this is what I saw. To me this photo feels more like a dream than reality.

Seeing, in Three Pieces

Somehow we must see
through the shimmering cloth
of daily life, its painted,
evasive facings of what to eat,
to wear? Which work
matters? Is a bird more
or less than a man?

There have been people
who helped the world. Named
or not named. They weren't interested
in what might matter,
doubled over as they were
with compassion. Laden
branches, bright rivers.

When a bulb burns out
we just change it --
it's not the bulb we love;
it's the light.
