Circumference of Silence

at 2:47am
silence
gifts
reprieve

though
stillness
has its own
small
sounds
that surround
the space
create

the quiet

the orchestrated layers
of steady
cricket wings
in grass

a distant rooster
yearning
in the trees

the muffled
foam
of surf
a mile
away

the Bohemian
breathing
sleep
near
my ear

here
the slightest
soundless
breeze
lifts
the curtain

one lone car
passes
on the road

these
subtle sounds
all shaping
quiet

Digesting a Marvel

Continuing with the thread of exotic edibles, I can follow-up yesterday’s purple cauliflower post with the atemoya gifted to the Bohemian and I on New Year’s Eve.

2013 brings a fruity fractal.

Reminder of phenomena unfurling, where chaotic, perfected patterns outline time and space.

planetary paths
laced with orbiting moons
celestial spirals
uncoil
shaking tails
of star dust
in their wake

Indeed, you could imbibe this fruit.  Take a ride into micro/macro orbit.  Contemplate the nature of the Universe.

Or just slice it up. Taste the sweet.  Smile and enjoy.

Brimming Fizz

It’s all bubbling up

fizzing air

lifting

tickling

effervescent levitation

we wed in twenty-four
