#LifeHack get rid of your weeds by calling them flowers. 👍

city life blurs,
we drift through traffic,
calling it
meaning..

#micropoem #poetry #photography

city street blurred by motion; headlights, traffic lights, and faint silhouettes dissolve into haze.

Sonnenschein @lyphshro.bsky.social · 1d

Gerade im Schwierigen
müssen wir unsere Freuden,
unser GIück, unsere Träume
haben:
dort stechen sie vor der Tiefe dieses Hintergrunds hervor, dort sehen wir zum ersten Mal, wie schön sie sind.

Il sole, tramontando dietro una collina ricoperta di alberi, illumina e fa brillare le spighe di pabbio comune (setaria viridis) che crescono spontanee ai margini di un prato.

Eine ruhige Waldszene mit hohen Bäumen, durch die Sonnenlicht filtern und Strahlen erzeugen, die die nebelige Atmosphäre erhellen. Umgestürzte Baumstämme und Baumstümpfe sind auf dem Waldboden verstreut, was zur natürlichen Schönheit der Umgebung beiträgt.
