Lights-on-(DAY-10)-1

“If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you are looking the wrong way” Barry Commoner

Lights On! 

It’s nightfall
Turn the lights on
Before the darkness sprawls
And turns us into dolls

Winter 11

“Now is the winter of our discontent” Richard III, William Shakespeare

Nightfall

Soft white lights
In the middle of the night
All have taken flight
From the silent street
Not even a tweet
From the lonely parakeet

After all,
It’s no ball
In the middle of
Winter

Winter 12

“98% of what gets built today is shit” – Frank Gehry

Buildings At Dusk (Daily Photo)

Tall buildings
Simple,
Without gilding
Built from glass
Possibly to last
Piercing the nightly sky
Lit up pretty
And aiming high

“blue, darkly, deeply, beautifully blue” Robert Southey

Blue (Daily Photo)

Blue, bluer, bluest
The moment before darkness
The frozen sea silent
A single light on the island
Soon the night will fall
And into deep slumber
We are all called

“The moon puts on an elegant show, different every time in shape, colour and nuance” Arthur Smith

Pale Moonlight

Have you ever pranced around
In the pale moonlight?
Bare feet in the middle of the night?
The neighbours bringing to a fright?
With a big grin and out of smite?

Why?
Because, I always ask that from all my friends.

“The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes” Paulo Coelho

Calm Before the Storm, Daily Photo 2015-12-05, Part Two

The sun has almost set
Soon it is time to get
Indoors before getting wet
It will rain soon, I’ll bet

It is the moment of calm
Before the coming of the storm

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky” Rabindranath Tagore

Calm Before the Storm, Daily Photo 2015-12-05, Part One

Painted red is the evening sky
Clouds gathering before the eye
Time standing almost still
Feeling anxious from the thrill

It is the moment of calm
Before the coming of the storm
