Autumnal Faith

Hope in the First Fall Leaf

the sun’s last ray

casts a golden light;

yellow leaf bows.

“love comes from the most unexpected places…”

“love comes from the most unexpected places…”, originally uploaded by woolloomooloo.

Love is what forever is about. Everything may come into pass but love will remain, and all the works of love with it. It is like finding your names etched on a bench you’ve long ago left and may have forgotten; nevertheless it will still strike you with pure joy just remembering that moment long ago when you have written it. And so it will also remind you that after so many years, that love is still alive within you. Like listening to a favorite song, love is hearing every beat and instrument dance with the lyrics. Love gives you pure delight, but it is also giving your all for its cause.

This photo made me think about what love is. Click photo and its owner links to visit original photo site at Flickr.

Watch your step in Prague

Watch your step in Prague, originally uploaded by angie_real Angela Lobefaro/Too BUSY♥Sorry.

As I Was Walking Along the Oldest Pub in Prague

The man in the basement where’s his head?

He left it somewhere.

Does he think it’s with me?

You think it’s inside my bag?

Stop pulling my leg and let me go.

Go find it in the kitchen where you left it with your pair of eyes.

In your ancient pans and even more ancient antics,

you’re cooking something novel as pasta-flavored ice sherbets.

I just want to say I dream of one day visiting Prague. This is in free verse. I didn’t make any corrections yet on this one. Original Photo Title “Watch your step in Prague” uploaded by Angela Lobefaro at Flickr (click photo to follow link).

The world through a glass of beer

, originally uploaded by only because mushroom asked me to.

I’ve been to the place where the world parts in two; I stood between the two hemispheres at once at Greenwich where the compass of time and date points.

It was the last leg of our tour and despite the day-old fatigue my sensibilities still worked to embrace the wonderful truth that I was standing between two places at once. I wanted to raise my hand, shout in exhilaration and embrace the moment. Instead, of propriety and saneness I settled to closing my eyes and inhaling the sweet and cold December air; as if my whole being is a pocket where I can keep this memory like a golden trinket.

It is given that no two objects can occupy the same place at the same time, but I did occupy two places at once. And all I need was a glass of beer to tell me this; that the rest of the world is just a drink away.

At the end of the day I found myself asking for directions, because I still needed to find my way back home.

The photo reminded me of my trip to the United Kingdom two years ago. This photo was taken at Greenwich as the owner of the photo claimed and the city seen through the glass is Canary Warf (click photo and owner link above to visit the original site of the photo). I’ve seen the outline of this commercial town (Canary Warf) while on a cruise and I remember my amazement when we reached the south bank of Thames River and the tour guide announced “We are now in Greenwich”. Immediately, the image of a line dividing the globe vertically came to mind. I remember the Greenwich meantime and said to myself “so this is where they part the world in two!”

Soloist of a talented string quartet

Music in Verona

Fair Verona has never lost her charm;

air breathing a thousand roses into town.

Where artists and lovers dance with muses,

rare stories tickle the ears like a clown.

Strings of horsehair plucked tear the afternoon:

wings of notes fluttering from a cello,

rings of hope blown like smoke clouds from her lips,

springs of youth passing time like a quick fellow.

Waiting for the Sun

shasha — Mon, 19 May 2008 09:16:28 +0000

Time bound

A frog, a fish, and a mouse;

makes the unlikeliest pals.

The mouse writes to the frog who

leapt to the fish who asks why

the boy and the girl sit

lousily before time.

Original Photo Title: “Waiting for the Sun” uploaded by Telzey at Flickr (click photo to follow link). What draws me to this photo are the characters in it. The three animals for me represent the creatures of water (fish) and earth (rat), and those that go between the two (frog). The concept of time is in the background as all these creatures even men are bound by time in reality. I like how the children pose in front of the clock as if time means nothing to them and the silhouette of the umbrella even makes the clock look like its broken. I wonder why the creatures of the air are not represented here…are they not time-bound?
