Owl Perched

At the Corner
Owl perched
sitting
seeing
colour confusions of life,
Accommodating all moods
Hello dashed off letter
Slow treacherous fog
slander
Bright spring
chat
Dark ocean
considerations
connected sentences
facebook phrases
Rose distilled
hearttalks,
Collecting human lives
of constructs and refuse
Future Dreams
Past memories.

Prompt
Watching life, seeing under the surface.

Life Currents

Life can be complex
Sitting on the outside
Never trying to be in it
Towel sitting,
Waves calling.
Some sail adventures
charting rocks, storms and whirlpools
Canoeing wild rides
Meanwhile
I lie lazy
tanning melanoma
Will I look only?

I take a drink
From the coolie
It bubbles cool, inviting
Coke is life
Lol
It is a lie!

I can't be filled, quenched
With artificial.
Only in the water
Flowing, living water
Salt or stream
Is true life.

I wake up holding the bottle
Sunburn on the way.

Prompt
Do you just sit back on the edge of life, watching others, wanting more but not quite able to make it across the hot sand?
