One of my photographs inspired a poem to Diana Matisz

Hi there,

I'm glad to collaborate for second time with my friend and poet Diana Matisz.

She asked me to choose one of the photographs of this blog and I choosed this one you will find below called "Perdido". This photo inspired her a poem called "A Fine Line"

I hope you will enjoy this new collaboration.

Peace

Juan Carlos

A FINE LINE

Standing on the fine line

between the incandescent opulence of living

and the somber plateau

of a forgotten life

he ponders his uphill climb

steeling himself against the minions of delusion

and a blinding storm of memories.

Anxiety and dismay etch lines

across his skin

as he wages war with phantoms

intent on nothing less

than the theft

of the man behind the eyes.

Perdido? No.

If you were to approach him

and look closely in his eyes

the man he was

is still the man he is

he isn't lost at all

he's simply gathering strength.
