“Things are not quite so simple always as black and white” Doris Lessing
Life in the Monochrome
I am neither black or white
I am just a gray delight
Maybe not so much fun
Being only a colour of one
That of a monotone
But not a clone
You may call me,
Monochrome

“There’s a bright spot in every dark cloud” Bruce Beresford
Clouds, clouds, clouds
Dark and dreary
Nothing too weary
Or bright with light
Clouds filling the skies
Rain and thunder
Sunshine through the blunder
With a promise of a rainbow
Let’s watch the show!

“Necessity… the mother of invention” Plato
Having Fun in the Sun
When all is said and done
Enjoying the sea and the sun
Finally, having lots of fun
Though, there is one pun
It all happened in Greece
Before they took a lease
On their little piece of heaven
Always open twenty-four seven
But, alas the play will still continue
And I hope to this wonderful venue
End up
Soon enough

“Hello July, please be good!”
A Day in July
Woke up to another day in July
All our hopes were quite high
Expectation was for sunshine
Alas, it had been declined
Instead what was delivered
Left us quite bewildered
Thunder and rain
Oh what a pain
Lips curled in disdain
Nerves quite strained
Maybe take a train
And head for Spain

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished” Lao Tzu
A Day in Nature
Sitting on a swing
Not worrying about a thing
Enjoying the simple life
Without a stinger or a strife
The air almost like silk
Time slowly passing by
Not one trouble in sight
Observing, watching, looking
What is nearby cooking
The hedgehog sipping it’s milk
The squirrel with it’s tail high
A bird gliding in mid flight
The flowers in the wind crooking
The clouds hanging softly in the sky
Exhaling, letting out a sigh
The last rays of sun on the skin
What a perfect fin
For a July summer’s day
The grass in a gentle sway

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it” Edith Wharton
Darkness and Light
Lurking in the shadows
In the darkest of places
A fleck of light emerges
Reaching out proudly
Out to the meadows
Up to the heavens
To the farthest corners
Daylight reaches
Without any breaches
Darkness and Light
Together they walk
Like Day and Night

“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity” Charles Mingus
Sitting in My usual Place
I was sitting in my usual place today
Watching the clouds changing shape in many ways
Caught up in nature’s gorgeous display
I almost forgot my own part to play
I finally tore myself away for a moment
And snapped a few for your enjoyment

Summer time in Finland 2015.
Oh, by the way, did I mention I love the sky and clouds? ;P
