I saw the flowers today

parading their beauty

opening up

like the dresses I see

getting shorter

when the sun gets higher

Day 1928, falling.

Daily picture, Poetry

At any moment I feel

that I can hit the ground

falling backwards

~

the anticipation

consumes

what’s left of my life

Day 1926, try.

Daily picture, Poetry

The flowers that I gave you

where still looking at the sun

when it was already gone

~

you threw them away

in that evening

a symbol

of a last try

Day 1922, sad.

Daily picture, Poetry

I almost stepped on this little blue flower

hiding in the shadow

~

it looked so sad

without its color

~

I thought I would do it

a favor

~

but it still remembered the morning sun

and it pleaded for its life

in hope for a next morning

not even

myself

Day 1903, before.

Daily picture, Poetry

It’s hard to see what comes before death

but what death brings to us

is beautiful

Day 1901, curious.

Daily picture, Poetry

I’ve already played my part

in last year’s summer dance

~

I gave my seeds

to the passing wind

and showed the beauty

that once was

~

I let all of that go

when this dance was over

though I’m still here

curious

Day 1831, B&W.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I sometimes wish that I could see the world in black and white.

A neat dividing line through every gradation.

Just black and white.

tense
