La Lluvia

the rain over a hill

your feet are wet

down to the valley

 flute sounds mingle

with the clouds

The Lady with the Lamp

Florence Nightingale, the Lady with the Lamp, c.Kristjaan P.

small steps to rescue

century’s wounds

called under God squad vault

the Angel of the Crimea

talking river

at dawn

sun's kissing the silky sky

the road spins

 the isles enchanted by

an azure river's spell

...its lips give to drink...

Life fragments

scattered in pain

through the chambers

heart purifying love

a ripple: is that a risk or a chance?

*Title - fragment from the poem by Rumi, the painting - a fragment of youth exhibition

Earth moves

Who cut the ground

under my feet

the earth moves

the pillars of truth

rearranged…

my old friends

hold hands apart
who’s wrong with me
eyes look within

the strangers…

collecting the thoughts

the purpose they seek

by a foot of the hill

meeting the souls

descending…

light crystals

Your soul sparks

invested, - not a failure –

light crystals,

arranged in crusty words

don’t look back, you’re creator

clarity

cloudy

in every breath I take

the clarity of moment

the snowy marshmallow are

melting on my lips

clouds

clouds

dramatic cool

the tears follow

symmetric snowflakes

or pouring cats and dogs

novel snow

novel snow

white on bare wood

taste of hidden truth

until spring discovers

moldy wounds

twilight

eve twilight

a touch of synergy

at the other side of horizon

a soft growing light

dawn crystal-gazing
