To Caroline…

This Life
You, Life
So full of
Ups and downs

Today you give me hope
Today you tell me bad news
Today I get a reward

One day at a time
Yes, hun

Yet

So full of
Ups and downs

Today I cannot resist
Today I lie and wait
Today I might even pray
Yes, hun

Life cannot help it
But evolve…

Last April, Caroline, from Constantly Evolving, rewarded me with this amazing picture. This is to you my dear friend. Thank you so much. At long last I got it. I have it here next to me and will frame it tomorrow! I feel so grateful and lucky again. Hoping you keep “ taking that peek...and bloom 365 days in 2010”

In Times Of Crisis

Etretat, soleil couchant (Etretat, Sunset), 1883, North Carolina Museum of Art, Raliegh, North Carolina.

........................................................................................................

Is this crisis in the world?

Where?

How different from

Six years before?

Is this crisis in me

And so in you?

How?

Is it the same way?

The way it used to be...

Is the direction of the wind

Alternative

Changeable as we desire?

Is the scorching sun

Suffocating them more today

Than in the old days

When sleeping indoors was

A battle against the elements?

Do those flurries disturb them more

Up there in the north?

This crisis of my soul

So welcome

For I know now

Whom and how

I will love.

Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plain-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, Soleil levant).

Write - 55

Write to me

Press the keys

And tell me

State, utter

Explain

Any word you expressed

I’d receive

As the best present

Indeed

Write to me

Any sentence

Any statement

Any phrase

So I can discern

What in your mind

You ruminate

Write to me

Any noun, any verb

Adjective or adverb

I’ll know

You’ll have drawn up

Regarding me

San Juan

I should call it

Bitter Poetry

After all.

...

Observing

On Earth I see

The solar path

The result of both

Rotation and revolution

Scientific facts

Of this night

San Juan,

Night of witches

And bonfires

Smelling the smoke

Wondering what is it

They are burning

I hope with it

There goes

My pride

Blind man can't see

Every knave will have a slave,

The magic has gone

I wish I had

A cigarette to smoke

A glass of wine

To cheer up

And celebrate

This tragic night.

Education

Rectify

Be more precise

Interact

Then agree

Avoid conflicts.

……

This bliss

Is knocking at my door

Avid to break in

It’s not heaven

But a sweet breeze

It comes gaily

It’s my time to achieve

Some willpower

No discipline

…..

Do I have your permission

To smile

And swing?

To slump

Or even squeeze myself

Into this greed?

…..

Tell me Ms Guilt

Do I have your permission

Not to ask for permission

Can I be less precise

Disagree

Create conflicts?

……

I need to feel

What it is like

To be free

Do all that-whatever

Pleases my will.
