Where is the flower?

Where is the weed?

What is a flower?

What is a weed?


Who decided which is which?


What is a word?

Define weed,


Define flower.


Define who is the one

with the authority to define?


Are you beautiful?


What


is


Beautiful?



Who   says?

a photo communicates the truth

of what is focused on

through the photographer’s mind

and heart and lens;

capturing a part of the bigger picture,

perhaps unseen or overlooked

that we are all in,

of life.

My poems are word photographs

framing my perceptions

of beauty

or ugliness,

symmetry

or dysfunction,

of relationships

of parts to the whole.

In ways to awaken

your awareness

and bring to you,

the perhaps unseen or overlooked,

truths….

*

*

of the glory

and the

power

and the

beauty

we are all made of.
