Why So Many Pictures?


I paper my digital world with pictures:

scenery, people, food, and flowers—

color and shape and symmetry,

composition and order that

I often cannot find

in the daily news.


These are the fragments that make sense

amidst the discord that runs rampant—

these are the lovely things that war with

the shootings, the cruelties, the hate:

these pieces are what is true

and lasting and beautiful.


Hold them fast.
