before you lose all your marbles...

some days it feels as though

you're about to lose all your marbles.

on those days, if you can,

(at least figuratively)

pull up a chair - beside the ocean,

beside a friend, and gaze awhile

at the horizon. gather your wits,

your thoughts, your self, and then

kneel on the ground, draw a circle,

knuckle down, and begin again...

our lady at sunrise

an otherworldly glow

appears on the horizon

venus, eclipsed,

surrenders the sky

to another at dawn

beckoning

...every horizon,

upon being reached,

reveals another -

beckoning

in the distance.

always, i am

on the threshold.

-w. eugene smith (1918-1978)

between two worlds

between two worlds

life hovers like a star,

'twixt night and morn,

upon the horizon's verge

how little do we know

that which we are...

-lord byron (1788-1824)

red sky at dawn

i dreamed of a

red sky at dawn -

an awakening

on the horizon
