Blue Notes
Youth of Old Age Project
Some thoughts and feelings manifest themselves in color. These images came to me in blue ranging from heavenly light blue to deep austere indigo. Every time I see the color blue I hear a melody it can be soft and gentle like whispering petals of a blooming cherry touched by light wind or strong and powerful like an organ flooding a cathedral with powerful chords. Look at the images and find the notes for the music inside your soul.
Big and Small
gipsy blood
gets thicker with age
this year
a smaller suitcase
makes a room home
the sound
of approaching bicycle
in an empty park
my heart
skips a beat
we share things
big and small
falling petals
pave the road
to sunrise
the sound note
of a rain dove call
on my iPhone
a lullaby
for a sleepless night
the wind
through an open window
turns the pages
soft are the whispers
of the Song of Songs
