faces in the fog

These images are the result of a camera malfunction or as I like to call it, finding magic in a mishap. These are portions of the "mishap" photo, (the same photo for each image) croped, enlarged and the only elements added other than the adjustment of the brighten/contrast buttons and the use of the spot healing brush, were eyes painted into the spaces where I saw they should be.  *This photo in question was taken in front of my house last Halloween and I just yesterday, discovered these "faces".  Perhaps I simply have too much time on my hands (yeah right) or it is this, I look too much with my artistic eye (and with my fondess for the paranormal and the mysteries of the unknown) and see waste in nothing and in everything...creation... and the possibility of existence beyond our own.  Oh, and just to clear things up, my camera still works just fine, my eyes, maybe it's time for a new pair of spectacles.

desperation image #1

...the open mouth sigh of defiant desperation, disire caged yet determined despite the dangerous cycle of forboding clouds...circling to cast continuing doubt upon existence beyond them...

Premonition

Somewhere hidden
in the quiet
of this nervous calm
something sinister
waits
to wake......
the chaos
of a haunting
noise
that lingers for now
only the worried
whisper
of a maddening
hush
of ghosts......
that rise and hover
__Mysterious
in the heavy fog
of this shy light
moving slowly
through an eerie
stillness__
as a Warning
of the Darkness
that is to come......

Before Sleep The Dreamer Dreams

Passing like a swift breeze
we hang our dreams high
and bury our hopes deep
that we may someday reach,
dig our way to the stars
before we are one with the worm
and there is only bare earth
to hold the shadow of our bones,
only stone to remember the name
of our ghost......
