It has been a while since I posted on the Challenge. I really like this prompt. So here is my contribution. It is a photo taken with my Android phone of the shore line in Virginia Beach. The phone has no zoom capability. So everything looks far away. But the chair, my girlfriend and the shore line are closer than they appear. I don’t usually contribute any black and white photos, but for this challenge I felt the desire to do so. Some soft focus treatments are used on the image.
Virginia Beach
Just across the ocean, under a glistening sky, a new town, a turning place, one that we have yet to discover …
Another Earth: Ferris Wheel
with its new birth
spinning lightly in the night sky
children play with their dreams
enchanted by the magic and loss
that has come to town
our every wishful moment

One of my favorite film soundtracks is BT’s Ferris Wheel – Love Theme from the film Monster starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci. A beautiful and haunting song. It hangs in the balance of love and life and its uncertainty.

You touched me with your thoughts as I felt your dreams float away …
Another Earth: The Transcending Dream
If on a beautiful day at the beach, we could just bridge the gap between our dreams and our reality …
Another Earth: Bridge Over Water
I often find in the solace of nature’s tranquility, my mind, floating on the ocean waves, and soaring with the clouds above. Here my dreams drift. With untold stories of yearning. A forgotten moment here, an aspiration there. All together within me.
Perhaps gone and abandoned.
Until this very thought, this very day. On the beach. And now, fully free of life’s constraints, I walk across this bridge. A bridge over endless water … The internal ocean of desires.
the deep blue sea
floods my being
– with discovery
and perpetual longing
– unfolding
A moment of drifting waves and splashing sky, with the colors of thing to come …
Another Earth: Girl On The Beach
No longer outside my window, but here within … Another Earth
Another Earth
Outside my window, in a virtuous world, there can only be … a willingness to let go.
Another Meaningful World
if every day
it meant something
– to you
– to the mirror in me
to protect the heart
even the whole of the world
would i hold my dying breath
to let it all go …
Outside my window, in a revealing moment, I see the choices of my life …
Another Virtuous World
disintegrating
with decisions we make
about to what we dream
to whom we should be
and what it means
– to you
and to the mirror
that stands before me …
Outside my window, in the last industrial park, the remnants of dreams lost and a world decaying…
Another Industrial World
the industrial age has come and gone
a global feudal state awaits for the masses
– perhaps
but for now we can only look to a future unknown
as the structure of civilization unravels
outside my window … beyond the last penned poem
– i see what I can only feel
a sense of disillusionment …
Another Different World
and it is here
– in the world of my own making
that I can no longer provoke a sense of place within this …
