“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” Susan Heller
World Wide Wednesday Presents, Delphi, Parts Two
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot
Photography and Poetry
“Heed these words, You who wish to probe the depths of nature: If you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. In you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods”
~ Delphi Oracle
The Oracle of Delphi
If you have come to seek
The words of wisdom
Or maybe just a peak
Through the prism
Place your request
To the priestess
The Oracle
Of Delphoi

“I’m not lazy. I’m just in my energy saving mode”
Lazy Day
Sunshine, with a few fluffy clouds passing by
Sitting under a tree, letting out a sigh
Down the valley, up the mountains
The shadows are bouncing
The guardians of the palace
Keeping an eye on the chalice
A lazy gaze cast over the passer by
Stern look warning “don’t you even try”
Time is almost standing still
Nothing to do but chill
Another lazy day soon ending
To the evening light blending
Vacation time
The best of times

“Life is short, the art long” Hippocrates
Statues
Standing proud
Covered in a shroud
Adored by the crowd
Shouting out loud
Applauding you
Admiring you
A sort of fandom
But not by random
Marble, bronze or metal
Something sentimental
The statues of ages past
Will all of us outlast
