Word-pictures


Psalm 144:4 

People are like a vapor,
their days like a shadow that disappears.

 

Word pictures

 

Are the word-pictures that I print only half-finished?

Or do they trigger imagination for the heart and mind to wander?

Are they filled with chosen font and in such appear blemished?

To bring readers to frustration not knowing how thoughts to ponder

 

Should all that is delivered be completely whole?

Is that where value resides in the fullness of it all?

Is it not a given that many parts in their role,

when working together, will deliver from The Fall?

 

Is completeness a state of mind build on expectation?

Is the end of any project the big picture of its impact?

Is there really time to find all facts in a dispersed quotation?

Where up and down reflect the mixture of most facts
