Mirror
"I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions

Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,
Searching my reaches for what she really is.

In me she has drowned a young girl and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish"

Thank you! 😃
I stopped calling my short compositions 'haiku/haikai' because some people have a very orthodox view concerning the composition.
I used to, but now I just call them 'micropoetry'_ if they should have a name...
And yes: I rely on the curiosity of readers to look up on a 'translator'😇

Sunset performance

#Stunday #WestCoast

Oxnard, California, 2020

The departing sun declares its last hurrah for the day as dancing clouds echo the sun's colors of ochre and gold. All the while, active waves pulse their rhythm on a sandy beach, reflecting only the most striking tangerine hues of the sunset. Distant islands on the horizon witness the spectacle

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees, their branches bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen.”

Golden, red and green autumn leaves frame a calm lake. Islands and trees can be seen in the distance. The sky is blue, and the scene evokes warmth and tranquility.

A peaceful scene I captured during one of my runs last week.

#EastCoastKin #scape #photography #sunrise #herons #birds

Photo of a sunrise scene over a still lake. In the forground, a single heron stands on the railing of a dock, and a palm fronds swoop in on the right and another tree fills the frame on the left. Colors are blues, oranges, and yellows mostly.

num raio de lua
num fio de pensamento
na linha que desenha o bater do coração

ou de um norte ou de sul
ignorando curvas ou atalhos)
