Verbal Photography – Inspiring Conversations
Take the house,
and the land on which it sits.
Nip the car in the drowsy driveway.
Seduce the overfed bank accounts,
and fill your pockets with the useless jewellery buried in the safe.
Slow down
and let your breath savour

and murky to inhale.
How much stuff must one accumulate
in pursuit of fulfilment
before the quest leads to emptiness;

But I still hear your laughter ringing off the walls.
I feel you intently
as your fresh, hearty giggles stop by for a light breakfast.

I reflect more on life’s simple gifts, like beautiful unexpected smiles,
vivid flowers sprouting wild through cracks in the road;
