    In Jade Relief

    Within verdant stillness, it breathes—exhalation of peace in stone.Silence carves itself into serenity,each line straightens to temporality. Eyes half-closed to all becoming,he sees what cannot be unlearned:the world forever shaping itselfaround folded edges of release. Here, calm is not absence but...

    • The jade Buddha sits in silence. “Silence carves itself into serenity,”
      This is going to be one of my favorites that you have written.

    • Beautifully penned, S. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Libellule, only a poet as gifted as you can take a jade carving and make it into a journey into the heart of timelessness itself. There is truth here that lives and breathes in the air of your poet’s soul.

    • You gotta be talking about James Dean. Taken way too early.
      It was a preventable tragedy. Getting too comfortable in a fast car isn’t good!
      Fast cars and young men can be a death sentence if you are not cautious.

      • Yes, tragic unforeseeable events can always alter life if one is not careful.
        “He’s gotta see us.” Dean’s last words.
        Thank you adelly.

    • Beautiful tribute to James Dean. He loved speed, freedom, and the open road… his passion became both his muse and his undoing. He adored his Little Bastard, and though he burned bright and brief, his legend never slowed down. I like to imagine he’s still racing somewhere in eternity.

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Excellent tribute my friend I liked this a lot. Appreciate you.

      At one time, where we lived, morning commuters stood on  long wooden platforms, patiently waiting and watching for a dark blue train with wicker seats.   The light posts that rose above the shoulders of the metal railing were a smudgy light green color that looked like shower heads. Earlier...

    • I like the old trains. It’s like being transported to the past when you get to sit in one. Went to a train exhibit once.

    • You described such a great time. Where safety was expected and not out of the ordinary.
      Everyone was at ease and not erratic. Nowadays you never know.
      I also enjoyed the pic!

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Excellent write my friend, I remember when railroad crossings and locomotives were abundant as well. Dig this! Appreciate you.
