There Was A Night

What we were under the moonlight;

Had once been a wish.

Now, a memory...

 Happy Valentine's Day!

Creative Challenge ~ Harmony

Sweet moonlight sleeps upon this lily

Soft stillness - the night

Becomes the touches of sweet harmony

Images And Words ~ Ingenious Inventions

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. 

Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.

I Have A Secret

I have a secret to tell you,

a secret, that I can't unveil.

by saying so,

I have already told it.

you already knew it so well...

Images And Words ~ Statues

Portuguese poet -  Fernando Pessoa

I sleep. at waking - if I dreamed, 
I do not know what my dream had in it.

I sleep - if without dreaming, 
 I wake up in front of a space;

open and unfamiliar, since what I woke to meet

is what I don't know yet.

best is to neither dream nor not dream 

unawakened without end.

~ Fernando Pessoa ~

BREATHING A DIFFERENT AMBIENCE AT BELITA'S

Something interesting to me during my stay at Belita's is finding that red colour is sparkling at each corner of her apartment. I find this not only in the physical environment but also in her character. For me, as a painter, red is a warm and strong colour, that's what I've found in her. 

She is sensitive inside but she often expresses in such a spontaneous and straightforward manner that she makes me feel very much like at home.
