black sun
floating across
my blue sky


IMG_0483.jpeg


a manufactured sheen

blemishes the cerulean

mylar and helium
conquer more accessible
but less noble
elements

the nurturing
fall to the base
to steady
the rest


IMG_0480 (3).jpeg


the gluttonous

seek elevation
inflation
rise to the top
upon
the current


IMG_0480 (1).jpeg


it's a natural law

the less substantial
always float above those
with true gravitas


IMG_0484 (3).jpeg


but only so far
until adhering to nothing

sacred or dear

claims everything

mylar and hot air
isn't really a star

Wasn't sure what I was going to write about today. I generally find inspiration on my travels online, but I woke super early this morning and had time to get in a walk and a little martial arts practice before my day began in earnest.

There was a little black spot floating up through the clouds.

At first I thought it was a drone, but then I saw it was attached to a string. My mind made the connection, and I noted its star shape.

Someone had lost her balloon and given me a muse.

Upon a steep slope
A small stream rushes
To join the waters of a great lake
Gaining strength and chaos
With its progress

If the lake receives
With a narrow bed
The flow is constricted
Chaos is increased

With a wide bed and still waters
Barely a ripple is felt
As one the stream and the lake
Grow in strength; only chaos is lost

People naturally seek out a great nation
A nation that nurtures becomes stronger

Yang naturally seeks out yin
Yang need only flow
Yin need only open to receive

Together they are stronger; only chaos is lost

A pleasant way to start the day seeing these chromatic writings of such beauty that enrapture the spirit. This metaphor caught my attention: Black sun.

Thank you, my friend:)
