room with a view
windowless and not new
dry grass and pointy sticks
all there is to offer my chicks
placed it safe on a shelf
homemade all by myself
on a welcome I could rely
till the day you learned to fly
Time fly, tomorrow is just now. Ha de Gött!
childhood memories in a vivid blur
strong emotions creep up on you
what went down but not the end
gnawing in your chest with unease
an arrow cleaves your dream
in an endless corridor of slamming doors
wake you up in cold wet sweat
twilight zone between now and then
Sweet dreams, ha de Gött!
I struck gold!
The proof that Mother Nature rewards patience, and proper clothing. It was a cloudy and ice cold day but still not complete overcast. With promising rifts of light I set out in the cold hoping for some magic light. As the sun was setting it suddenly lit up the red granite cliff, for just a few minutes.
I struck gold!
All that glitters is not gold, ha de Gött!
This winter has so far been unusually cold but I don’t mind. Winter has also offered some amazing light and sunsets. I’ve equipped myself with spike shoes. A flashlight that I can put on my head, a head-light. All to be able to walk safely in the dark and icy terrain.
Check out my Instagram for more sunset photos.
Do take risks but safety first, ha de Gött!
I went to the beach today.
Too many layers of clothes to take off.
So I did not go for a swim.
What’s cold or warm is up to you, ha de Gött!
What if
Jesus rode in today
would it be on a
a noisy chopper bike
in a bikers leather west
white halo helmet
or
an electric scooter
letting the long hair
fly in the wind
-
would it be
blast through the doors
of the shopping mall
in the escalator declare
our sins with bombastic words
or
sitting down by the hobo
look with tears in eye at
the steel and glass temple of banks
You can’t bring anything when you finally go, ha de Gött!
A new year comes with new promises and challenges. What better way to celebrate than with Mother Natures own fireworks.
Look to the sky but keep your feet to the ground, ha de Gött!
It has come to this, I fear
The passing, of another year
Reminiscing all, that's done
thirty one million five hundred fifty six thousand nine hundred twenty six seconds, all gone
Circle closes then takes another turn, my dear
Don’t wait, it may be too late, ha de Gött!
I’ve been struggling with the last line and I’m not really satisfied. I like to invite you to come up with another last line. Thank you in advance.
It’s that time of year when you should close the books for the old year. This year I’ve picked one picture for each month instead of top ten. A bit unfair to some months that presented more photo opportunities than others. Anyway, here it is. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Happy Year End 2023, it was over with a click. Ha de Gött!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.
You don’t have to believe the story, but you can live by the message. Ha de Gött!
