A picture is worth,
     a thousand words.
A true phrase, often
      heard.
Yet the "wordtographer"
    who places, pictures
       in the mind.
A rarity, of the
     human kind.
This is dedicated, to all the "Wordtographers" who have made this site, for me such a constant delight.
Safe place for the meaning — in couplets of rhyme
the words taking shelter in moments sublime

Their message unfurling — new harbor in sight
the tempest becalming in lines of delight


(Dreamsleep: April, 2025)
I pray,
   to find a way.
To express,
    with success.
What I need,
     to say.
Let me queue,
    you, into a great,
       decorating style.
A bedroom, where,
  your eyes, close
     and reopen, to
         a smile.
To my grandmother it was a picture of Jesus, rescuing two children from a storm. My mother said it was pictures, of me and my sister. For me, it is pictures of places, my wife, and I have been fortunate enough to visit together. I hope you have, or soon, find yours.
E - Elves never showing themselves.
T - Touch, A desire wanted much.
H - Haze, make focus, hard to phase.
E -  Energy waves, colors daze.
R - Reality, seems an impossibility.
E - Everything real, or just an idea.
A - Almost place, the unknown space.
L - Lost it seems, remembered dreams.
So dies the day
In chilly silence with a promise broken
falling night, drinks the light
and pulls the curtains on our words unspoken
