Sometimes you have to look at life from a different perspective.

 

Canon 1DXII, F8, 1/1600, ISO 800

not hdr-Very cold night here in Florida tonight..and a clear night for the Moonrise and stars..the stars look like ants there are so many of them.. I highlighted them a little so they would show up..the reflections in the water are moonbeams not stars, but you may see a few of them reflected! A few clouds added some texture to the sky..a great night for photography. At times, the moonlight was so bright I felt like I needed sunglasses....The lights in the distance are St. Augustine and Crescent Beach (the backside of them.) You are looking over the Inland Waterway and Matanzas Creek toward the east and the moonrise. The beach is on the other side of the lights in the distance.

 

Leida (James Watkins)

 

Leida moves through skies

Like comets in the stone,

Stark, startled darkness.

Glowing and grieving

All other gems

Of the down black night.

 

She walks in fields

untrodden-

Comes soft upon a star-

Twinkle-twisted,

Formed and frozen,

Thrust through treasure-

Breaks the gusher

Geyser guided

Diamond light.

 

Twirling, praising,

Fast amazing,

Liquid lightening,

Breaking, sight-

Where none have gone

She finds a home-

Abiding strength

Of morning bright.

 

She rules and sings

Of fractured queens,

Repaired, replaced,

And battered.

Of broken wings and

Injured dreams,

The smallest things

In tatters.

 

In gloried halls,

By weakened walls,

In armor and in battle.

Through timeless test,

To find her rest,

Above the noisome clatter.

 

Where money has no meaning,

Where paths can have no pain,

Where lives can not be broken,

Where hope can not be slain.

 

Where time is unimportant,

And conscience is unchained-

Clear choices are

Completed now,

Detailed in deeper dreams.

 

Where hearts have

Healed completely,

Her love in force remains,

Leida stands

On ageless sands-

A daughter of the king.

This teapot is actually tiny (note the little glass mug beside it), yet somehow it still seems to fill me with awe.
