David Bowie: In Memoriam
“Don’t tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon”
Faded Footprints
Just a few faded footprints
Left behind on the ground
Think of them as blueprints
To vision and sound
Living in the presence
For time is of the essence
But follow them I must
Before they fade into dust

Full Moon over Suburbia (Daily Photo 2016-01-11)
Full moon tonight
Shining, ever so bright
Hanging over suburbia
Fair warning for slight
Hysteria

Friends (Mundane Monday 2016-01-11)
Together
Sitting pretty
We are
Quite witty
Friends
Are we three
What better
Could life be

Weightless, Two
Gliding across the skies
Between the clouds she flies
Sometimes out loud she cries
But up there, no one hears
Of her fears
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Weightless
Some of the things that always remind me of gravity include (but are certainly not limited to):
* Dancing all night long after the age of 30.
* Carrying a human baby for more than three minutes.
* News of a plane crash right before I embark on a trip (because that’s when all planes crash).
* Putting on skis for the first time in a couple of years.
* Building blocks. Especially building blocks.

Weightless, One
Wings spread to the widest
When on the wind she rides
Feelings of being fearless
When up in the air she is,
Weightless

Sunday, One
Soft snowflakes falling down to the ground
Like confetti thrown on a celebrating crowd
Covering everything in a white shroud
Looking like the skies fluffiest clouds
Enjoying the scenic vision feeling proud
Before the snowy blanket gets ploughed

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein
A Seat fit for a Queen
A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”
Family
Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

“I look like the man in the moon” Martin Freeman
Daylight Moon (Daily Photo 2016-01-09)
The cloudless blue evening sky
Bringing the moon out from its hide
Painted neatly into the landscape
With a uncompleted crescent shape
The eternal battle
Closer to a haggle
Between moon and sun
Had once more begun
