Happy places revisited: Coming home.
By Mark William Darus
Photography
Such a wondrous place to live and learn
Each days treasure hiding to find
From idle glance treating eyes to sights unseen
Great smells of cooking from several houses away
Laughter from something not painful to anyone
Looking to heavens and Earth
Camera in hand and ready
or
Tripod to hold things steady
A world once known well
Recaptured
Now digital
Costing much less than decades before
Missing as little as possible
Words
Once again put into coherent fashion
Making sense to others in ways never known
Lack of booze but having great pills
Like a river strong and flowing
Passing over rocks and flying over falls
Moving in whatever direction they course
Not knowing from where they come from
Not knowing where they’ll lead
Not knowing
Wondrous place to be as mind churns on
With undertows and whitecaps
Moving
Creativity
Marriage of ability
Talent
Sheer dumb luck
Embracing all senses with heart full open
Smell fragrant rose over exhaust fumes
Hear laughter killing the screams of the insane
Witnessing the splendor of this Earth as trees climb
factories descending into the minerals of their creation
Wind caressing exposed flesh
Air pushing hair about haphazardly
To chill or to heat the body
Warmth of the sun after a long winter
To feel what your life has to take in
Complete exposure
Arms extended wide
Mind growing with each moment experienced
Bad or good
Something to be learned always
Every aspect of being
A never closed or locked door
Exposing self with no regard toward judgment
Contented place in this world
Hope
Given by those well known
Those taking the chance to meet via Electric Circus
Globally
Being greeted
Being accepted
Reaching and being connected
To feel once more
Happiness
