Venture

Feel the pulse
Dawn ushers light;
Songbird sermon

~~~~~~~~~


Noisy feet detour
Winding footpath;
Suffocates silence

~~~~~~~~~


Busy overload
Mobile devices talk;
Choking silence

~~~~~~~~~


Dreams evaporate
Working day attire;
Drowsy loitering

~~~~~~~~~


Morning temple crowd
Chanting melody;
Incensed offerings

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy eyes gaze
Blurry focus here;
Work day conspires

~~~~~~~~~


Blank faces
Crowded lift descends;
Zero contracts

~~~~~~~~~


Strange interface
Sea of faces;
Out-of-place

~~~~~~~~~


Subtle tension
Deliberate silence;
Roaming devices

~~~~~~~~~


Office mall complex
Busy feet intersect;
Faces unnoticed

~~~~~~~~~


Cold weather presides
Mindful meditation;
Sense finds feeling

~~~~~~~~~


Pretty woman
Crowded atmosphere;
Train ride punctuation

~~~~~~~~~


Stray conversations
Handy mobile cellphones;
Subway friendly talk time 

~~~~~~~~~


Shaggy dog walking
Owner on a leash;
Random fertiliser

~~~~~~~~~


Office encounters
Dance of work regime;
Busy distractions

~~~~~~~~~


Business verbiage
Action in commotion;
Productivity gains

~~~~~~~~~


Sea of faces
Awesome potential;
Lost in a crowd

~~~~~~~~~
