Yet Another

The sounds of last year fights

The eve of New Year;

Booming noises, sparkling lights,

Questions arise,

As sounds of last year fights:

With our hope  spirits,

Will it be better even if in slight?

Pondering is always the mood;

As this margin in time so slight,

Becomes the reality of yet another,

For sounds of last year fights.

  The Situation

When their ship left harbour,

Those sailors were already lifted,

Voices echoed in risque shanties


Out there on seas unending

Rough wind and waves befriend

Birds may squark, but to them

Was not music enough. 


Anchor lifted to sounds of men

Tied by situation.

[Joan Miro art, from google.com]
In This Space 
With a boom, bang bang, boom; 
The Old Year’s gone away; 
To nothingness and night i pace 
Myself to sleep; to dream, to wander, 
For here is where freedom lies; 
My fairies, my guardian angels, 
My elders all gone before me meet. 
To dance, to win battles, to feast, 
To question and to promise. 

And in this space, 
Without the celebratory noise 
Trying to mark time into sections - 
For really, time only continues - 
It is the awakening, leaving the dream, 
That cuts through space and time. 
Helplessness of tying together time and realms - 
Maybe that is why 
We created clocks and calendars

Silent beauty, Taenaris catops;
Do you sleep in the day like an owl ?
For only a short while your life hops,
Almost one third of a  year is enough.
Silky to the touch Taenaris catops,
Forest and marshes you inhabit,
For those mimicking eyes to pop.
Wouldn't you prefer meadow flowers?
Or sampling farmer's crops?
Or ravaging through farmyard sops?
Guess you are just Taenaris catops.

 Rain and rain and more rain. To round off The Rainy Season, to add a contrast background to Caribbean Christmas trees sparkling and blinking, indoors and outdoors.

The choice to be festive like the Christmas trees transfering your hope into the radiance of lights, or go for the gloom the misty grey clouded mornings, seeping depressed days into the soul.

rainy season ending

with 9misty morning clouds -

Christmas trees blinking

  IN REFLECTING - A FOLD

Yet still i recall in reflecting,

As if at logger heads thunder clapped  

November streaked in lightning,

Despite her torrid weather,

I still do recall in reflecting,

Days of - will this never cease?

Still, trees are lit now and blinking,

The grinch, maybe was behind it all, 

With all his mischief making, 

Hope shines through in the end,

As still i recall in reflecting.
