Wish Your Were Here

Photo/Poem 1 Minute 

 Mischevious temptation:
 to speak,
 attempt to share, 
 to fill a void,
 rather than remain 
 within it’s vastness.
 
 Beyond speaking a single word
 the whole world there for the taking
 all without anything to say.
 
 It’s not a great matter
 of life and death.
 
 Open space,
 without end
 the meaning rests in the moment.
 
 Words are mere symbols;
 not the sky and clouds
 and green grass
 and blue reaching beyond imagination.
 
 They are the luxury
 of sensation.
 
 Time is best served by
 just shutting up.
 
 This place can be known,
 but you have to be here.
