Honey Suckle

Carly is asking us for 'Something seen in summer' for Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot.

For extra credit she asks for words to describe the picture and this is why my entry is here because that is what Visual Counterpoint is.
Photographs accompanied by words.

This is my entry.

'Honey Suckle' From Let the end try the man

Seen in summer a silent scene,
Holds goodness for one,
That gathers the present for the future,
And carries today to tomorrow,
While the past remains a sweet memory,
So time is held in every moment.

Nectar offered on a summer day,
Holds goodness for all,
To be gathered by far too few,
And carries strength from the sun today,
While the future must wait for tomorrow,
So time passes through every moment.

Seen in summer a lasting tryst,
Holding goodness for all time,
Long days gather warmth from the sun,
And carry it on waves to waken the dead,
While nature transforms the light into gold,
So time echoes in every moment.

No Time like the Present for the Release from Time

'Unwanted Fruit' From Let the end try the man

Day by day the chances grow fewer,
Hour by hour the present parades,
Second by second I touch every moment
And silently scream
For release from time.

I will kill a life holding this pain,
I will kill the lies that destroy,
I will kill unbearable torture,
And silently pray
For release from time.

Night by night the chances grow more,
Hour by hour the darkness pervades,
Second by second I see every moment
And silently sing
For release from time.

This is My Epitaph

'Grasp that Chance' From Colour Contrast Continuity

Silence holds every word ever said,
I will hear them all when I’m dead,
So leave me alone to hold my hands to my ears,
While I live with every one of my fears.

The noise that threatens my sanity,
Invades my mind with profanity,
So leave me alone to hide my thoughts from sound,
That would destroy any peace ever found.

Leave every word I have found to speak,
Of the destruction ignorance will always wreak,
On the innocent that cannot lie to save
The knowledge that only the truth ever gave.

Live and let knowledge open the mind,
Feel and let wisdom a warm heart find,
Pass though time with a single glance,
And grasp that illusive once only chance.

No Barrier to Life Lives

'Ride with the Light' From Colour Contrast Continuity

Death is an end to life, as we know it,
To die for any country is obscene,
To die for freedom from barriers and borders,
Marks one way that the end can be seen,
To hypocrisy that shadows lies we tell,
And colours the pictures that are sold,
Painted by error they stand for the past,
Then shake the foundations built on gold.

The Future Requires Time

'The fallen give light for the future' From Colour Contrast Continuity

The water is still where the fallen lie,
Like a barrier to the flow of time,
The silence holds every sound they make,
That any should have died for our sake
Remains a permanent crime,
To be carried by the wind’s softest sigh.

Youth strives to seek a way to reach
The goals that would seem so good,
The future holds every sound they make,
That any should die for mankind’s sake,
Echoes the tree that once stood,
On this world with wisdom to teach.


The future requires time to live,
Dreams of the night need light to grow,
Every dawn holds the magic to make,
A new life for goodness’ sake,
And take time to always show,
The selfless love that life can give.

Time For Love

'As One' From Colour Contrast Continuity

No two show more grace,
No two are more faithful,
Silent witnesses to a love that lasts a lifetime,
They pass while time stands still.

One picture holds more,
One picture holds everything,
Silent witness for a love that lasts a lifetime,
To stand still while time passes.

Remember me as I will be

'Remember Me' From Colour Contrast Continuity

The music plays beyond death’s touch,
No grim reaper can kill the chord,
That sounds within the silence,
No memory can ever record.

The pattern plays beyond death’s touch,
No grim reaper sees the morrow,
That creeps behind the darkest night,
No darkness sees the light follow.

The silence lives beyond death’s touch,
No grim reaper destroys the light,
That lives far beyond the mind’s eye,
No darkness can destroy true sight.

The end lives far beyond death’s touch,
No grim reaper harvests a gift,
That passed freely from one to all,
No shadow shall show any rift.
