Will-o'-the-Wisp

Striving

So often, so hard, so long .

Written on my retinae ,

Battering my brain,

Scorching my soul - this:

Subsisting...


“Success” -

That "Media"-driven dream -

Ever eluding us all.


Now I see you,

Now I do not.


Do you see me,

Will - o’- the wisp ?

Yeah, it is such a fleeting thing, that dream. I gotta keep reminding myself that the state of developing and maintaining relationships and living with abiding, unconditional love has eternal value and in so doing draw those riches into sharp contrast against the state of being able to afford material stuff. Thank you for your enthusiastic appreciation.

Wonderful photography. Nice poem too and I think once in awhile I can catch a glimpse of that dream.

Both poem and photo are beautiful.

If you can take a photo like this using just a camera phone, what more can you do with a real slr camera?
