A train passes,
cries.

Sobbing new life
throbs within once quiet hills.

Apparently, this is a thing. Consider it a challenge, a journal, or a journey (I prefer journey). Take a picture a day and post it to your blog. Here are some reasons why you should try it, too.

I decide to take a nice walk around downtown Indianapolis on Saturday. All of these pictures are from that walk. Enjoy!

Geese tread icy waters.

They don’t shiver,
But I think they’re cold.

Their little brains cannot plumb
Man’s artifice.

But neither can Man.

Hey there, cold Goose. I hope Spring comes soon.

Rain falls.
Even these words are wet and soaking.

A fog rises and obsures the past.
The crust of past experience.
But sometimes I remember how it used to be.

I Wish

Bread bakes,
And the heart cries.

Hello Heart, I’m glad to meet you.

You don’t get out much, do you?
A bit of a recluse, I’d say.

A lovebird fluttered away,
She waited by your doorstep,
But you didn’t wake to greet the sun.

I wish she had stayed to hear your voice,
Because you are beautiful.

I know that, Heart of Hearts.
I do know that.

Where is she now? I think you’d like to know.
Tracing hearts in the sky.

Well, I forgot to take pictures on Thursday and Friday. However, I snapped quite a few good pictures over the weekend. So much so, that I have two pictures for each of the last four days. Enjoy!
