“My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July” Rick Bass

Happy 55th Birthday to My Better Half

Nineteen
Sixty-one
A year filled
With lots of fun
Brought
Forth
A July’s child
Quit the wild
Born with
The biggest smile

This July
All grown up
But at heart
Still
A young pup
Ready to fly
High as the sky
But never without
That wide smile

‘Je suis Nice’

“The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue” Salvatore Quasimodo

Serene Friday for Daily Photo

Just
For a moment
Enjoy
The silence
Listen
To the calmness
Of the peaceful waves
Just before
The storm rises

Sometimes
It’s best to forget the eternal strife
And,
Enjoy
The simplest pleasures in life

Treasure
Peace, love, happiness and all good things
Because
You’ll never know, what curveballs life may bring

Just Another Day in July for Daily Photo

Just-Another-Day-in-July-2

If you expected sunshine,
Sitting on a terrace
With a cool glass of wine
And feeling, just fine

Then,
I hate to disappoint
Dearie,
But it seems,
The odds
Are heavily
Against you

The weather gods
Decided their jobs
Was to make you sob

Like the true sociopaths
Bringing on their wrath
Even if you did not need a bath

But soaking wet
Soon you’ll be
If you think
The game is set
Maybe
It is time to flee

Or then

Just forget,
The bummer
After all
It is summer
And just
Another day
In July

Reaching for the Sky

Watching
The skies
Wondering,
What,
Beyond the horizon
Lies

Rails in the Sky

Take a slow ride
Up, up in the sky
You know you want to
Go as high
As high as the sky
With the ride
The ride to the sky

Songs and All Types of Tunes for Throwback Thursday 

On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

This week; the exploration of Space! Enjoy!

Time for shopping?
But of course
And we do until
We are dropping!
But,
Coffee first!

The lady with her dog
Was looking for a grog
The taxi had already gone
So she decided to sit on the log

The dude is a statue
He was quite the virtue
Now with a seagull
He seems a little dull
