“It is not the honor that you take with you,
but the heritage you leave behind”
Branch Rickey
Heritage
Just another brick on the wall?
This window may be small
But those who did it install
Made sure, no one out of it would fall
Something lasting from the ages here shown
The makers worked their fingers to the bone
To build as heritage a wall of stone
Now us youngsters, proudly do it own

“It is not the honor that you take with you,
but the heritage you leave behind”
Branch Rickey
Heritage
When the waring was finished
His belongings quite diminished
All that was left for inheritance
Was a pile of armor, none too relevant

“No man is an island,
entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent”
John Donne
Island
On an
Deserted island
I got slammed
This is, my land
This is, where I make my stand
Here lays, my strand
If here, you try to land
Know that, you’ll be damned
By the wave, of my hand
You will be, hanged

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia”
Ellen Hopkins
Sepia
The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last
Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

“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
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins

“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
Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise

“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

“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

World Wide Wednesday in Finland
“Do not cross the brook for water”
Finnish proverb
The Round House
Round and round we go
Merrily, merrily, following the flow
Around the round house
Me, you and even the mouse
There is no end
There is no beginning
Just a round circle
For us to encircle
Wasting our time
And that is just fine
It just cost one dime!
