To my friends

This short message is to say that:
"Having had an accident (my husband)
a week ago, I will be absent from the
site for a time..." Hope that you will
come & read material that you did not
have time to do before.
Thank you and wish you all the best
during my absence.

Hello

Hello life
joy and colors
make your days.
Mine is not black
or yellow but full
of different shades
only certain eyes
can discern.
I turn feeling the
sun caress my face
my leaves catch the
rain quenching my thirst,
Oh my love come to me
count the seeds planted
by mother earth and grow
on my face. I'm always
ready to follow you,
right, left, center, just
show me your face and
I will turn for you to kiss
me, I won't stop until I
grow old and seedless,
then earth will receive me
with open arms in Flower
heavens....

Taughts

Hello - I have to really stop and think

what am I doing that all is confusion,

confusion in my brain, in my heart,

in my taughts and emotions.

Am I getting so old to loose patience

loose an easy smile or loosing my

tongue for lashing at the world

of insecurities, 

Fancy gadgets are not to my liking,

dressing up or down well don't be

ridiculous who would look at me...

Being a peacock is not my style, 

I don't have much hair to try it.

My voice can scare all the birds

and children even if I whisper.

Dear o dear what as come of me,

age I suppose, but we are supposed

to live to over 100, well then

excuse me, if I can compete with

a scarecrow what's the use to reach

over a 100. 

Well readers, if you find that I'm

loosing it, just show me your stuff

and don't laugh at mine!

experimenting

Would appreciate to know if it can be seen and heard also, it's my first attempt.
Thank you and have a great day wherever you are in the world.

Running through the sky

Running through the sky
lights I found.
Sitting on a wing
sliding down I went.
Stars befriended me
showed my way through
the night.
My song fitted well with
earths sounds. 
Escalating, running and
finally found my angel
together we left hands in hands
in the light of the rising sun.

I believe

I believe - Elvis Presley  (press here to listen)

I believe that wherever you are you found peace ...

Me or you

Me or you
that's the million dollar question
You were my love, my life
accepted all your inventions
without a word.
trusting you blindly
cherished you like a golden prize.
My fingers caressed you
to infinity and your perfume was
my fountain of youth.
Was it me who was blind
or was it you who blinded me!
I took off my mask for you
while you pretended to see me through it.
Today that you are gone,
I sit on pedestal all dressed up
oh I miss your whispers and fragrance
your delicate taste of youth and
eternity. My head bowed, my mask
hides the clear tears that gently fall
on my heart screaming all the way down
but it was my fault and cry I shall until
the end of times....

Sanity

Sanity  is more than a 6 letter word.
It's believing in YOURSELF and only
YOURSELF, because nobody will...
Don't be afraid to stand for your rights,
your believes and convictions.  
Life is how you live it and how you
take care of it. 

Sneeze

Don't dare to sneeze
is it humans or plants
that are sneezing all over
the world...

Rainbow colors

The taboo that all humans should
posses all the same chromosome is
an erroneous statement even in the
medical field.
We are all equal no matter as to the
number of chromosome one possesses
that those not make these people
any less humans.

Moon dreamer

I'm a moon dreamer and a moon lover. 
I'm always amazed at it's beauty 
just wish I could take it away from the 
sky and put in the palm of my hand...
I will blow on it to clear it of dust,
I will rob it to light it up
I will whisper to it and let her
fly away taking my message around
the universe to all people who look at
her and keep on dreaming in silence
and awe.  

Gray zone

I will find my way
through punches given
to my body and soul.
There are in's our out's
but always a way out.
Why am I in a gray zone,
who knows, maybe age
has crept upon me during
the night, but like a warrior
I will not surrender easily....

Famous light

Life reflection of our ups,
downs, sideways,
directing us towards that
famous light at the centre
of our universe - the passage
of one planet to another.
Don't believe I ever saw
those who left come back
telling us what it's like on
the other side of the famous
light let's leave some to the
unkown and mystery...

No future

I have no future on this planet.
When men tells me how to
talk, think, dress out of my
domestic life.
Does my appearance to the world
makes me less human or less
intelligent or more dumb.
I'm no devil, I'm just a human
who prefer to keep my identity
to myself.  I am like any of your
neighbors, who can teach your
children, care for the sick and lonely
souls.  I can easily extinguish a fire
or play ball like everyone else, police
or go to war...
Do not put me aside, just to despise
me, what will I tell my children,
parents or partners, that I don't fit
in this modern society.

Life and flowers

3 rose posai ai tuoi piedi
e 3 rose ti portasti,
ma tu mai mi lasciasti
une delle tante rose
ricevute dal mondo.
No ripiango le 3 rose
sapendo che di tutte
quelle che hai ai tuoi
piedi queste saranno
le più poverine e senza
pretesa....

Feelings

If I have nothing to say

then

I must keep my silence.....

Gorgeous day

This is it... explosion of colors in our parks, street,
gardens, front yards, back yards thanks to these
fantastic flowers TULIPS that are at the top of the
season.  From mid week they will be all gone &
hopefully back for next year.

Standing tall

Sunny rays lay upon me,
sun and wind in unison
play with me,
I am sturdy and stubborn
standing straight and proud.
Looking around with
pride, for I am unique in
this field of honor,
making pride my moto
for those who lost faith
in their strength of life....

What will it be

Today "marathon for children's hospital".
Unbelievable what these little creature endure,
go through or even the spirit they possess.
At times I question myself, what & why
do they have to endure the atrocities of
sickness.  Lucky ones manage to survive
and live a decent life, others less fortunate
suffer, are cut, bruises, deformed, blind,
etc etc etc and still they will make a comment
or have a faint smile that melts your heart
strings. Having had to be witness to such
cases in an hospital ward (granddaughter
with kidney cancer at 2 yrs old), she became
our strength to see that not knowing what
was going on, life in an hospital was normal
or at subsequent visits for her it was going
to see her teddy doctor or the lady who
picked at her finger and put a knitted
wool finger with bells on it's tip. We spend
sleepless nights wondering, wishing, crying,
learn to put a huge smile on our faces, sing
her baby songs, read her sweet stories,
then one day, she turned around and said
enough, don't cry for me, I will go alone
at the hospital I know the way now that
I am 5 years old.  That was our wake up
moment and from that day, we always
asked what she taught, what she would
do when she got older...
"I will come & visit the small children
and treat them like adults, they understand
or feel your feeling..." and that's what she
did TODAY at 21 years old she was at
the Marathon for the children's hospital
and told her story.  "Never despair but keep
hope live even if it's for one day only in a
life of a little child...".

NB: This photo is a little silly for adults,
but it represents a child silliness and dreams.

Photographing

Why did I choose this subject tonight,
even my accompanying photo is not the
greatest in quality or to look at....
"Well talking about it (photography) is a
soothing period for the person behind a
camera to escape the good and the bad
of every day life style.
While you look, search, analyze the subject
that just caught your attention, your brain
starts saying stop, prepare yourself to take
a special interest & make something out of it.
See how you will want the result to look like,
so you turn around it, you elevate yourself or
(condition permitting) bend or kneel down,
focus and snap one,twice & a third time.
You change position & go through the same
process, your brain as blocked and stopped
the world so your concentration is fully at your
finger tips.  Who cares if people look at you
or wonder if you are sane or crazy.  Some
will say (that old lady or old man) has no
right to block my passage or bother them
to have to go around you. 
You are in a world where there's no pain,
no sorrow, no joy, no shame, no smart
or no genius, it's you and your camera
and that's what matter the most...
Enjoy what you do and keep on doing it
until you leave this world, because even
if physically unable to capture the world
with your camera, then your brain becomes
your camera for your everlasting eternal joy...
