When sadness showers down
Made from artificial
Silly people clouds
There naught be
An umbrella
Or a #raincoat
Big enough
To cover
Ones heart
From welling up
And sinking
Like a boat
With a broken hull

You're welcome! 😊 Around 2010, I had a supa cool pair of Levi's modern bell-bottoms, loved wearing them 😇 💜

Wild Wistonia ("Bugle Flower") - two apricot-coloured blooms are contrasted against the blue NZ sky with the green of a line of trees along the horizon. LOVE. I carefully walked up a slight incline to get this photo up-close, hearing the soft crunch of vegetation beneath my jandals.

This photo, and the others in this post, were from a walk in Long Bay Regional Park about three weeks back. It was too windy to walk on the beach proper (I didn't bring along a heavy enough jacket that day, and the temp was sharp), so I took the inner path parallel to the shoreline, something I'd not done before. Was hugely rewarded with so many flowers, and plants, and trees, and blue sky, and green, and...ok, I'm an old hippie chick : ) Simple joys, eh!

A single yellow Capeweed flower sings to the sun, rising above the dense green grass below as if to say, "I'm HERE!" : ) I see you, you beauty.

The happiest little patch of yellow clover flowers nestled in deep verdant green grass.

Teeny tiny, itsy bitsy purple geraniums snuggled into their blanket of green leaves.

Kindly stop all the clocks. Cut the phone.
Pull the plug on each "smart"-thing you own.
Ain’t the silence #sublime
As you go back in time?
With your thoughts you’re at last all alone.

It puts us down, saved from the fire.

“What is it?” she asks.

“A being on the fringe of human perception,” I answer. “Our minds interpreting it as best they can.”

“I see an angel. What do you see?”

The being flies away with a Christopher Reeve smile.

“A friend.”

Here's one for the #ColorADay theme #BWFri and #scape and #ForestFriday! That's what we Canucks call a Hat Trick! Haha🇨🇦🤣❤️🤍❤️

"Hat Trick on me
Yes, three times you scored,
With each shot upon me,
You I further adored"

- Soccer Poet, allpoetry.com

In black and white, shadows and light, create such an alluring sight. Though the wind beaten coastal trees, atop an eroding cliffside, the rising sun radiates. The Pacific Ocean shines as bright as the star that kisses it. A feeling of hope, through this disarming beauty, washes over me in moments like these.
