December Dawn - November Sunsets. A Poem, (Revised Longer Version), and 4 Pictures.

 I have spent my life skating on thin ice

Waiting for the cracks to open under my feet,

But the ice has remained as firm as polished marble

However hard I tried to break the spell

That keeps me upright on the frozen waters.

They reflect the blinding sun but keep me safe.

I have spent my life skating on thin ice,

Trusting in my instincts - rejecting common sense,

While Jack Frost slowly crystallized the dawn mist,

Distorting the long view, making time indistinct. 

I have spent my life taking crazy chances,

But have always landed - somehow - on my feet.

Trevor John Karsavin Potter, 

2nd. - 3rd. December 2023.

 

Simplicity is not Childish.
