In Darkness, Wisdom

Light fades, as do I –
with age comes redundancy,
moving with shadows,
safety in darkness –
wisdom in obscurity.

    Sorry to say, but most men who are not writers/poets do not “get” it. You write beautifully. 🙂

Photography, memoirs, random thoughts.

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a cursed prophetess. She was gifted with prophecy but the curse ensured her predictions would never be believed. Not that it stopped her from speaking out. It behoves all of us to speak out about what is wrong but also about what is right. We can do that in our creativity whether it be prose, poetry or painting. What matters is the message.

Poetry from Paul Mortimer

Whimsical & Capricious Chatter
