After the Storm

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“After a storm comes a calm”
Matthew Henry

After the Storm

After the storm
Everything is calm
Surrounded by silence
When roaming the island
Not a soul in sight
A sole bird in flight
The scent of nature
The intoxicating mixture
Enhanced by rain
Hard to restrain
My rejoicement

Around the World in Black and White (three)

“I see that it is by no means useless to travel,
if a man wants to see something new”
Jules Verne

Around the World in Black and White 

Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum

Reflecting five

Posted in the Daily Post: Reflecting

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

A tall glass building
May reflect a life gilded
But, it may be for show off or filming
Not something, to live in

Reflecting one

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

The water, reflecting
My thoughts, collecting
To the future, directing
My life, connecting

Reflecting four

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

A muddy water puddle
May reflect, a self image more subtle
Maybe even elicit a chuckle

Reflecting two

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

Rainfall, on the leaves
Gently, in the wind heave
Reflecting, an image perceived
Nature, trying to deceive
Is it really summer, or winter’s eve?

Reflecting three

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

Suburban windows on fire
Reflecting, nature’s dire
Soon, the night will fall
Trying, this moment to stall
The gorgeous display admire
Until, the sun has retired

Reflecting six

Posted in the Daily Post: Reflecting

“Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people”
Albert Einstein

Reflecting

Reflecting cool blue waters
Reflecting blue cloudy skies
An image without borders
A life simple without lies

“Cats are like music:
It is foolish to try to explain their worth
to those who do not appreciate them”

The Girl and The Cat

If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

The Girl and The Cat

No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat

No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set
