The Mirrored Lens

Epistemic Humility,
the world adjusts its crown

Reality filtered through the lens
of who looks, when, and how

The Lord is faithful to forgive His children
when we repent sincerely of our sins.
He’ll redirect us to the path He’s chosen
and help us view life through the proper lens.

Cutting Edge Lens Technology

My son just bought the most amazing camera
With super fast shutter speed, “on the edge of the cut”
And when he photographed my wife and I
He managed to snap her with her mouth shut

Magic of Crystaline Lens

happiness is here
sweet red pie of blood
hushed puppies yawn free
girl in the body shop transformed
black coal shapes into precious dia-
monds crossed chairs of peace magi-
c of crystalline lens

Premium Member A fan of the lens

photography is an obsession of mine
love taking snaps by design
the capturing of moments that align
my passion for chasing sunshine
and seeing how its beauty imitates the divine

Premium Member The 2nd :Through the Lens:

Reading between thin lines, holes begin to appear 
   Not redactions or errata, pixelation becomes clear 

   Cross within a circle, new configuration's designed 
   Simultaneously hits home, blowing away our mind

Premium Member The lens of grief

Life has changed so much in merely two weeks
Life was hard and traumatic at times
Now it is just grey with grief
The beauty of friendship is still here,
A sunrise still fills the sky with wonderful colors
But life just feels muted and dingy

The Magic Lens.

Lends us vigilence.
 
The Camera can record perfect details.

Seek,eye,seek what needs to be seen.

Show us from your many vantage points

Help us our picture to complete.

The rolling footage is rewound and

we hope what we look for is found.

Premium Member The Colored Lens of Life

Things taught black and things taught white
When I was young and caged,
Became a brilliant-colored quilt 
When teens rushed through my age.

Things swarmed shadowed shades of gray 
Once I turned middle-aged, 
Then circled back to black and white
As I became a sage.

Premium Member THROUGH THE LENS OF A FALLEN LEAF

THROUGH THE LENS OF A FALLEN LEAF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ oh, if I could drift through autumn’s gold descent— watch roots drink deep, feel frost’s first kiss, know the weight of a single raindrop on paper-thin skin, and blaze one last crimson sigh before settling into earth’s dark hymn.

Out of the Lens

A pure white dove
fans its tail feathers.
A scurrying chipmunk
misses the show.

My eye took it all in
while the world blinked.

Back home
the picture I took
just before the tail display,
will always be mildly
disappointing,

yet that next image
(the one not caught),

will long remain,
the one
I most clearly see.

Premium Member Thru the Lens

What I would give
To see the world
Through the eyes
Of eager curiosity
And playful innocence

With a heart pure
As a summer morn
The future out there
For the writing
An open book
What I would give

Contact Lens

Poised on the end of your finger tip, you open your eyelid wide,
it pops straight onto your iris and you barely even tried.
When it comes to removing it, it’s an entirely different ball game,
you gently try to slide it out and almost end up maimed. 
Why is it something that is so thin, can feel like a brick,
and why can’t you find it when on your eyeball it did stick?

Premium Member Our Non-Dual Lens

Our Non-dual Lens

This..our true Lens
Has been shaded by
Life-long conditioning..
A lens of separation
Depicting subject and object
Seems as our means of
Perception..
In pockets of humanity
There are many who
Have known the
Availability of the Lens
But most humans
Have not asked the
Question of how this
Lens may be recognized..
Such Recognition is the
Path to Peace
in our time..

Long Focus Lens

I knew, that if you knew that I was watching
Your thoughts of me would never be the same
The sexual approach as you hugs and 
caresses her silicone enchancers
         So tightly,
You feast upon her, sweetness 
That moaning sound, the bulging purple blood;
       Surges in your veins 

You close your eyes, and you sigh “Oh my God”
words, I never heard like that before
You seem at ease with the whore

A Twilight Lens

A fish crow has tan-
blue sparkles; pearls coat the sky.
A resting brook 

is melting chocolate, 
it flows through lime-green sprouts. 
A burning orange 

is the sun;

yet a rock can wears 
its hue. A stick curves up from
the water- a night

colored alligator 
that spares biped shades of dusk.
A plastic liqueur 

bottle is stepped
over; its dirt stained shape an
empty night, open.

A New Lens

Couplet “New Lens” 

 My blood, sweat, and tears. Every single drop.
 Yes it hurt but life doesn’t stop   
 The world kept moving and so did I  
 I was determined to continue to fly 
 Looking back now, it was a major blessing
 Came out of it better with many life lessons
 Protect your ear with positive friends    
and just like a new camera, you’ll have a new lens

Galileo 1564-1642

To see the big picture when looking at life in the hope of finding signs of sanity in humanity use the little lens end of a telescope altho' by putting the large one to your eye wishing it would improve the view by diminishing flaws or imperfections you're only fooling you Gerry O'Driscoll, 'There is no dark side in the moon, really.' Martin H. Samuel, 'There is no wrong end of a telescope.'

Premium Member Through the Camera Lens

Through the camera lens
She appears to me
But in negative
She looks so differently

Enhanced is her shape
Delicious in curve
Negative shadows
Hugging clothes serve

Pout and pert
Elegance
Posture of shape
My eyes in trance

Shadows of black
Stand out eyes
Piercing me
Leaves me in sigh

Through the camera lens
She appears to be
The negative
Of what I normally see

Remove Lens Cover....

As song's come alive
expanding my mind
.........flows to my feet
where I begin dancing with time

Personal space filled
outgrowth is real
sharing my notes
for others to feel

Push forward these feet
as I pound these streets
overflowing satisfaction
for all I greet.....

It's only a moment
a blink of an eye
focus lens shutters
'cause in a blur passes by

Peripheral vision
absorbing light
coloring images
most beautiful sights.....

Caught In the Lens

The ebony night crawls
With its webbed feet
On my distressed mind,
To peel off my fusty clothes,
From my fatigued body,
Stinking me like the putrescence
Of my time, and of my life,
Feels me then
As light as feather
Floating up into the azure.

Before my inner eyes,
Barely exposed I’m
In my living portrait
Caught in the lens of camera
Zoomed in and out
To perfect my image
With my own personal touch
Just for hanging in the wall
Of my living room.
