rain

Day 2010, still quiet.

Daily picture, Poetry

In a corner of my eye

I saw the room lit up

and I walked to the window

~

the light was

running away from a dark cloud

where rain was already falling

but it was still quiet

where the dust was settling

~

I went outside to smell the air

a few seconds was enough

Day 2001, still.

Daily picture, Poetry

I think she was still holding her umbrella

not to hide for the rain

she was no longer listening

~

she crossed the empty street

she didn’t know

only her feet 

~

the light was bright

from a sun far above

there where no shadows

~

I saw her disappear in the cemetery

no longer in use

but still

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1488.jpg

The rain evaporates

falling down

a fresh air

reflecting the world

a thousand times

Red berries in the sun.
