“She Liberated Me To Life” 2 comments
Photo-Artistry by kenne (Early 2000’s In The Woodlands, Texas))
Look how far we’ve come
Do we know who we are?
Stranded on a mountaintop
Trying to catch a falling star
Here’s to what we’ve left behind us
Here’s to what we keep inside
May the road that lies before us
Lead to a place where love abides.

Yellow Flower — Creating a New Consciousness Leave a comment
“Yellow Flower in Circles and Squares” — Image by kenne
Sometimes to appreciate beauty
it must be taken out of context
to capture a new perspective
based on my love of nature, sex
and life in a new consciousness
for the flower is neither
a subject nor an object
apart from being a flower.

It’s Not Easy Being Purple 4 comments
Purple Prickly Pear Cactus — Image by kenne
It’s not easy being purple
you don’t blend in with
so many other ordinary things
And people tend to stare at you
‘Cause you stand out
Like a sore thumb
next to yellow blossoms.

That To Which The Heart Gives Birth 2 comments
“Window To The Sky”
Images by kenne
The Eye Of The Beholder
IF, as they tell in stories old,
The waters of Pactolus roll’d
Over a sand of shifting gold;
If ever there were fairies, such
As those that charm the child so much,
With jewels growing ’neath their touch;
If, in the wine-cup’s sweet deceit,
There lies a secret pleasant cheat,
That turns to beauty all we meet;
The stream, the fairy, and the wine,
In the first love of youth combine
To make its object seem divine.
No golden sand of fabl’d river,
No jewel glittering for ever,
No wine-born vision’s melting quiver,
In vivid glory can compare
With that which we ourselves prepare
To throw round that we fancy fair.
Never such beauty glittered yet,
In golden beams of suns that set
On cupola and minaret.
Never such beauty met men’s eyes
In silver light of moons that rise
O’er lonely lakes ’neath tropic skies.
The world holds nothing of such worth,
There ’s nothing half so fair on earth,
As that to which the heart gives birth:
External beauties pall and fade;
But that which my own soul hath made,
To my conception, knows no shade.
To every ark there comes a dove,
To every heart from heaven above
Is sent a beauty born of love.
The moonlit lake, the waving trees,
It is the eye which looks on these
That makes the loveliness it sees.
Out of myself the beauty grows,
Out of myself the beauty flows
That decks the petals of the rose.
So, when at Ada’s feet I lay,
And saw her glorious as the day,
’Twas my own heart that lent the ray.

Capturing The Moment — Water In The Canyon 6 comments
Sabino Creek In Sabino Canyon — Images by kenne
We are children
of the canyon,
enthralled
by nature’s beauty.
Once hearing
the sound of water
rushing over rocks
and around boulders,
carrying the spirit
of the mountains,
we are drawn to
its siren call —
becoming
children of Achelous.

Sunset On The Trails, Revised 6 comments
Originally Titled “Sunset On The Trails,” I Renamed For A September 17, 2011 Posting, “Capturing The Moment — The Tree Of Life.” Image by kenne
I’m sharing this image again because of being inspired by photographs by Sonja Bingen, “Tree and Sunset” on one of my favorite blog site, Four Windows Press.
Such a beautiful tree —
so representative of life.
Yet, we often see beauty
only in the foliage and blossoms
nature provides in one of life’s stages.
Why?
Beauty is everywhere –
there is beauty in death,
marking the stage so important
in the cycles of life.
This tree (image of) is amazing,
a sculpture in the face of the sun,
containing the shapes we use
to design our places in this world.
What image do you present
in the face of the sun?
Does it add?
Does it subtract?
Be honest!
