By Chance

By chance..

By chance our starlight
Fell on the same darkness.
Awoke a senseless blight
From which a well did spring

quenching doubled up thirst.

Reflections in the watery mirror stare
and shoot to glazed eye
She my girl meets it there
And looks back in wonder
A fleeting moment has gone by.

Take her hands and make from them wings
Shake a leaf and wake up, wake up and be born.

New York City January 2008

So, the photo above; well this I found to be quite a striking image as taken by the camera and to the naked eye. Mrs. D and myself - -no kids!!phew, had a 4 day trip to New York City after 4 years not being on a holiday alone together, and also to celebrate our 40th's. 1NOT24GET either!?!

This was Sunday afternoon out at the museum on Ellis Island. I liked the idea of all the faces meshed and side-glanced into this angularly curved representation of the good ole **'sN=='s!

A great place to see the bird life that hangs out around the Hudson; a haunting place to contemplate the stretched beginnings of so many immigrants. Aside from slightly history-induced swirling emotions it also happened to be a great day to take photos outside; great wintry low sun with high visibility!

more on NYC another day.
