The Quiet Charm of Nowhere Pt1

A silence found in having no desire,
Sitting alone by the open fire.

A quiet discovery in being nowhere,
while looking inside in a reflective stare.

The mind stops fleeing trying to be elsewhere.

Simple thoughts in small spaces,
Appreciate all the many transitional faces.

A newborn snowflake melts on glass,
and sees creation will always pass.

A warm heart holding time in an open palm,
Knows it will race by, yet remains calm.

Hiding from the self in preoccupation.
This is where I stopped and got off at the station.

Looking back, looking in,
Is this where have I been?

A thought looking at a thought,
and thinking?

Holding it like an object to analyze,
Some thoughts still lingering as a surprise.

What creates the thoughts we think?
What causes the actions we choose to do?

There is something I really love about black and white photography. Awesome shots you have here and you did a really great job of picking the perfect words to go with them. I need to try and get back to some of my photography roots and do some more black and white stuff.

Hey- thanks man! BW photography can have some nice dramatic elements. I say- go for it!
