A Blue Dragonfly

 Photo by Mike Hall

In my quest to get more diverse selection of Indiana wildflowers, I returned to a place where I had taken a plant I didn’t have before.  It had rained that day, and the purple bloom had closed shut.  (The photos I found elsewhere had it  showing a pink-purple colored bloom). 

Two days later I went to the  same spot, and like several situations, the area had been mowed. No more horse nettle to be found by a small drainage pond.  I didn’t want to waste the special trip to this place,  and wanted to take a photograph. Then I saw this dragonfly return to the same brown stem several times.  It was as though it was posing for me. I set the camera for macro, and got this clear, detailed, unedited, uncropped shot of the thing. I don’t know what kind it is, but maybe that doesn’t matter.  Just getting the shot counts, so other people could see that moment of time happening only less than five minutes away from busy five-lane road.

If anyone know what kind of dragonfly it is, just out of curiosity, me me know at contact(at)eliastobias(dot)net.

The Rest

Filed under: New Poems, Color My World — admin @ 7:37 pm

The Rest

The symphony, a community of instruments,
plays variations of a theme and a group of instruments rests, for a moment
or a measure, creating a vacuum.
This void remains empty long enough for other instruments to
make their musical statements.
Like musical punctuation, the slighted rest period finishes part of a thought,
and the whole of the statements,
makes a musical essay with a central theme with thousands of notes.

Effect of City Lights on Youth

Filed under: New Poems, Color My World — admin @ 2:34 am

Effect of City Lights on Youth

It is always easier to go,
Than it is find a way to stay.
It is impossible to know
What choice is the right way.
My love for you will grow,
But I’ll hurt if you stray
From where you call home.
Make your decision today.

Now don’t think you are right
And that I’m all wrong.
I’m trying to avoid a fight,
One that can last all lifelong.
When you get to those city lights,
I’ll help you when you’re gone.
You have your goals in sight,
And really want to sing your songs.

The choice won’t be the last,
And you’ll probably feel the pain.
Your future becomes your past,
And have only your fortune to gain.
If you run your life too fast,
You’ll face storms and the rain,
And even need some cash
To back your claim to fame.

The White Clock

The White Clock

Alone in the corner the white clock stands,
unusual because it doesn’t have hands.
It remains silent, but time continues still.
Life goes on according to God’s will.

Fourth of July Fireworks

Filed under: New Poems, Freeze Frame photography gallery — admin @ 4:36 am

 I spent the weekend with my in-laws in Richmond, Ind., and went to Glen Miller Park for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display. The event drew a large crowd, and it had vendors providing food and refreshment to those who could afford it.  All the people gathered in chairs and on blankets  along a hill to see the show on the ground and in the air.  Below is one of the better still photos. Click on the photo to go to You Tube to see a video of the event. While you are there, check out the other videos made for the World of Words by Elias Tobias.

Ancient Curse

While I was making a sand castle on a summer day,
I found a foreign looking bottle.

Eager to see through the glass,
I wiped the sand away, and then a
strange bearded man appeared before me.
He said I was his master, and I had three wishes.
For each of them I wished for three more,
and from each of  those, I wish for three more.
I stopped my sand castle to make a list
of wishes in the order to achieve
material success in life, and he agreed.

Then he told me a story of how he
was once free like me, and then was put
under a spell to serve greedy masters
as an ancient curse centuries old.
I asked if he had amazing powers,
why was he still held captive to his soul.
It was written in the Rules of the Sand
his abilities were never violated.
Those who tried paid the price, he said.
He had to use his powers for others.

I used my last wish on my list to
Set him free to be himself, and he walked away.
