But even just red
without any blue
would
(or to
whom without any who)
be
a strange sort of absence
like the death of
a living friend
now pronounced dead
Whose endings need
beginnings
(only as ups
require their downs)
and in the full spectrum
of things
certainly
beginnings their endings
need
Wherein darkness’s couldn’t
followed crescent’s moonly would
gingerly
(surely as trees
fell from leaves)
and in the grand colored scheme
of things
black seeds of silence sprouted to could

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Enjoyed the lovely poem and outstanding photo, Tom. I love seeing the beautiful little flower creature bathed in pollen. A bug paradise here.
Thank you, Jet! It was taken on the river bank that we live on. Katydid’s love the many flowers that grow thickly in parts of the river’s bank. Your Galapagos photos were stunning! 🙂

There is something about that final line that haunts me. Not in a sad way. I feel very hopeful, like even the darkest of times can sprout wonderful possibilities.
