A Passenger’s View

I reconcile this passenger imposed life
through a photographer’s lens

Record the road ahead, the passages
find resonance in what lies outside my window.

Love how the trees seem to form an arch in the last window view. ❤ I'd love to be the passenger instead of always the driver. It's all in the eye's of the beholder.

  It really is. For years, it was always me driving, until health took it away. Couldn’t take these pics from the driver’s seat.

    So true. There are advantages to being in the passenger seat. My daughter says to me, “Did you see that!” I reply, “No, I’m concentrating on driving.”

These are beautiful car window views. The narrow, long road is my favorite! 🙂

Anxiety burnsan acidic devouring confidence impaled –mind wanders to childhood dreamsuncovers fear’s origin. (Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. I came across this tanka written in May/21 that seemed to match with the image I recently posted on my other blog. I decided to pair them here.)

The Last Train (Sonnet)

We wait at the station, Mother and I,one final stop for her – painless she prays;I busied at bedside – prolonged goodbye –memories and regrets filling our days. “We live too long,” she wearily proclaims“Why must suffering linger till the end?”I plea and bargain, call angelic names,yet the will to survive refuses to bend.
