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! 🙂

Priorities

Supper dishes abandoned,we cruise the backroads,destination: river’s edge A muskrat creates ripplesdistorting mirror imagesdisappears into murky unknown A canoe glides by, occupant a silhouettein the golden sun’s descent We linger in the warmthof the fading glow, celebratingsummer’s gracious moments.

Grains

There are shores that remainever-etched upon my heart –emotional tides that tugand carry me, currentsof past revelations – I remember drowningin the swells of lonelinessalways the outsider, the grainsof this sentimentalitystill shredding my adult soul.
