Day 2040, uncertainty.

Day's pictures, Poetry
Slide film, 1998, Belgium

I looked up

and time stood still

just before

I wondered

if the sun appeared

or disappeared

~

I stretched this uncertainty

into eternity

for a moment

they

will never meet

but

together

they

paint the sky

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1178.jpg

shining through the leafs

Inside

the joy

of seeing the world

is shared

by all

Day's pictures, Poetry

With no regards

for the world around

that gives

and takes

Day 1072, still water.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1072-1.jpg

Sudden strong wind coming from the other shore form ripples on still water.

The sun has reached its highest point and is descending scattered in reflecting water.

From the bright light of midday, through the long shadows, it ends in dark red reflection on calmed water.
