Thinking
.
creaking
past everything
within reach
waiting
to steal results
from opportunity
asking
for no answer
grasping
after straws
sleeping
rather patiently
in time
that wastes away
faster every day
running
at an idle
thinking
mindless thoughts
distracted
by more thinking
stepping higher
past debris
scattered expertly
by random physics law
forgetting
how sensational
simple
really is
the sense
of what’s important
deserves attention earned
about at least as much
as each small thing
cascading
through our tiny minds
largely uninvited
pretentious and ambitious
falsely held concerns

Keep in mind that you can always click on the images to see a full-size view. Some of the text will appear a bit easier to read in the “Words on Images” creations when viewed at 100%. I noticed that this one, in particular, seems to come across with less than optimal lettering at the size posted. -JWH

Instant Triggers
.
.
the number of thoughts I can have
in the minuscule confines of a single second
baffle my sense of time and the universe
remembering things and forgetting them
in less time than it takes to finish a breath
accepting the places I have stood
as more than mere figments of my imagination
wondering about hands I have held
disasters I have witnessed
that were not really disasters
with the passing of time
providing enlightened perspective
photographs instantly trigger
recognition of more
than a moment in time
