Another missed dawn

Another morning
Another missed
Dawn
But beauty
Captured



Beauty missed
Beauty captured
Dawn
Remains elusive
Again

Surreal snap.
Here's another perspective:

All night long
The age-stained stars had watched,
Companions of my waking,
Weeping their tears of old light.

All night long,
They watched over me,
Waiting for the moment
When I'd forsake them for the sun.

Sigh. I need to get the hell out of Georgia. I never get morning skies like that.

Goergous shot. I miss a lot of sunrises because I am a night owl, but I have some beautiful sunset shots! I will get a couple color versions up on my photoblog.

The writing feels so sad here in this piece, but at the same time sort of surreal...hell I don't know what I'm talking about do I? Nice!

Sweet photo. I like your blend of pictures and words, A. You seem to have an appreciation for skyscapes and light, which I share.

You see so many wonderful things and speak about them so eloquently, A. What a beautiful soul you have.

Anil said...

..and you captured that perfectly at that! Nice pic...hope you get that award you have been nominated for. You deserve that :)

Akshay - Thanks. Sometimes, I feel there is a little more that words can add to a picture, even if they are worth a 1000 words! :-)

:..M..: - Thanks ;-)

Diva Drip - Thanks for your lovely words.

Anil - Thanks. It looks unlikely that I am going to win it. The photoblogs are way ahead of me! Awards don't matter, the writing does. :-)

monochrome - Yes, it does. A real coincidence.

endlessecho - Thanks for dropping by and for your comment. Yes, most beautiful things seem unreal, or surreal!

Getting out of bed every morning wouldn't be nearly as painful if I had a view like that. So beautiful!

unnghhhhhh!
lovely pic, wizard!
sets my pulse beating.

PS: the earlier glass pic was equally intoxicating.. i know how dat feels - there have ben sooooooooo many times in the past when i've been in a pensive mood and just looked right into the glass of water in my hand, twirling it, watching the rings of water... livinghigh's looking glass???? ;-)

Thankyou for sharing.

superMANA! - Unfortunately, even I don't have this everyday!

livinghigh - Thanks. A clarification, that was not a glass of water. ;-)

Pincushion - You're welcome!
