Tipping points

Morning glory ~ photo by Kumiharu Shimizu


Morning glory
Your eye follows me
Even in dreams.

Even in dreams
I’ve tried to escape
To live/leave my best.

To live/leave my best
Perceiving a new voyage
Unknown territory.

Unknown territory
Submerged chessboard cell
Skipped on first turn.

Skipped on first turn
I look back to chances
Missing tipping points.

Missing tipping points
Wave brought to the shore
Artifacts.

Artifacts
God’s approval of love/life
Morning glory…

Morning glory
Your eye follows me
Even in dreams.

Even in dreams
We have plenty of time
From dawn to dusk…


Note: Inspired by Kumiharu Shimizu photo 'Morning glory' and the symbolic meaning of Morning glory.

  5. Sometimes, the chances we do not take are the most important in life - and it is good we miss them because of where we have already ended up. Nice chained verse.
