abrupt




Playing with the words from Three Word Wednesday
abrupt, kernel, wield

Winds abruptly change
wielding powers sinks the ship
down at the seadbed
a shell seals its kernel.

I thought I was transparent
you could see my pearl
winds abruptly changed
you call it sand now.


Swinging boat,abruptly
Wind
blows from the past
I yield to the wielder
Wait for me , I'll be back










Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word




It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over......

crane's song



When you sing a crane's song
don't give up when not heard.

This is how a crane's song is.

when not heard, take heart
and keep singing.

Cranes just sing.

Keep singing, from your heart
Alone or with company.

Thats the beauty of crane's song.

With company, wine tastes better
so take heart and keep singing.

That's what cranes do.

" I have a good goblet.
I will share it with you" *

That's the cranes song

Don't quit. Keep singing
Perhaps someone will come.

memory



Him : Are you Happy
Her : Yeah !!
Him : Me too !

this is not from the movie of course but its a recent memory of mine.
Joel, at "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", at that scene says to Clementine :

“I could die right now, Clem. I’m just happy. I’ve never felt like that before. I’m just exactly where I want to be.”

I’m just exactly where I want to be.” ......what a bliss !!! ........No ?


Time moves on , things change, yet there is that memory of a moment being where you really want.

the door



Truman show is one of my favorite movies. Lately it come into my mind. First a scene, the last one, and the next day through a friend . ha !

Truman was living a happy life in an ideal world Seaheaven till the day he felt that something was wrong. When sure , he overcomes his fear of the sea , takes a sailboat to leave, almost die in an artificial storm, the obstracles the Creator put to keep him there, till he reaches the end of the world , the wall of the dome.

“If his was more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there's no way we could prevent him” Cristof said , and it was Truman determination that made him seize the storm.

So, Truman , at the end of the world, finds a ledge and as If walking on water, climbs the stairs leading to a door, the “exit” , as the sign reads. Christof tries to persuade him stay , Truman is silent and then he bows , says goodbye and crosses the door leading to the unknown but real world. He could’t stay there , because this wasn’t his world and he was different , a True -man .

"I want to be an explorer, like the Great Magellan" , said Truman, in his school class when a young boy. His teacher respond “Oh, you're too late! There's nothing left to explore!”

You are too late, you are too young you are too old ... you are this ... you are that ... you aren’t this , you aren’t that.... a very common script we read to our life’s movies. And just in case we don’t buy it, here come the fears. When we need to cross the great water how can we do that if you fear of water ? And lets say we do it and reach at the top of the flight of stairs. A heavenly-like setting and a door that leads to a dark one. Scary isn’t it ? Sometimes we walk back, sometimes we cross that door and those moments are where we can choose. its our choice and no matter what we do out-there its a relief to know that it was our choice.

I remember , when watching that movie , said to Truman. “Good luck, take care”

I can relate to him now-days, being in front of that door. And some times fear overwhelms me and hear the tape of “you are too old, you are too young....” Yet, there are times that going along with script some-others wrote for us is not what we want.

“Are you running away ?” some people asked me . “NO” i said, “I'm going home”
I walking those stairs now, and when I’ll reach that door I’ld like to be a sunny morning and the sky will be heavenly blue, i’ll bow and say "In case I don't see you ... good afternoon, good evening, and good night,

Take care Truman, good luck and wish me luck too. I’m on my way

return of colors



Colors escaped the prison’s wall

and returning

to the black and white photo

White clouds dancing in the sky

and from the green grass

red puppies will blossom

in a while...


see, I told you !

those black clouds

hold colors inside

see

Naked she was standing in front of his eyes

Eyes that penetrate every inch of her body
Eyes that could see under her skin.


She didn’t felt like covering her nudity

Among the sword eyes , his are like sunbeams.
Warm sunbeam caressing her being.


No.

She didn’t want to hide her body

Just laid on the sand
surrendered to the sun’s warmth


No.


She

didn’t hide her tears either.

A river of sadness and joy

Singing a simple song :



You see , you see

YOU see ME.

chalk marks

image by horse and moon




Another bad dream

was written on the chalkboard

With closed eyes

grabbing the sponge

to wipe off any memory.

.

The chalk marks are now just dust

.

...... apart those eyes

full of tears.

.

.

Whose eyes are they?

Why they are crying?

What pain they unleash?

.

.


answers and chalk prints are now pure dust

.


...... apart those eyes

.


full of tears.

auntie nuts



Well, yes, I have to admit that I'm an auntie, nuts about her nieces !!
What you see in the photo is the present they got for me while in vacations. They choose it for me. I can't describe how it felt. We have a beautiful relationship and I love them immensely and makes me melt the way they express their love.

It would be nice , we the grown ups, express and accept love like children do.
Yes ?
