tears of time
stone
crying for lost names

(pic: an old gravestone, mounted on the outer walls of a medieval church in northern Germany - the 'black tears' are traces of rust from the iron used to mount the stone)

b/w picture of a 17th century grave stone, beneath the commemorative inscription the coat of arms of the deceased - traces of black rust and soot running across the stone, that is vertically mounted on an outside wall, giving the impression of black tears - spoooky

a wall
of grey clouds
devours glowing dusk -

weightless
snowflakes
fall

in the
pale tune
of your voice

singing
of the night
you long to come

painted white
a ghostly
light

shining
bright,
bearing promise

of aurorae
in the hoarfrost
of your eyes

dusk
dissolves in
a flurry of snow

*

merciful sky
unfolds a white shroud
upon mud stained earth

*

brittle beauty
reverberating silence
the voice of snow

Die unscharfe Bruchkante der Nacht entlässt ihre ersten Steinschläge tief hinter meinen Augen.
Schon knackt es in ihrem schweren Gebirge. Gleich bricht sie los, gleich geh ich verschütt.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

im siebenten jahr -
wo einst dornendunkel war
rosengleiches licht

sweet sadness unfolds in this 16th century song: transcendent, mystic, drenched in symbolism and spirituality of bygone times - withering petals

cry me a river
the desert
will imbibe your tears

stunning sunday silence- the deserted park, where a banished queen planted roses to forget about the tragedy of her life. Just the noise of the distant fountain and a sarcastic crow croaks a story of withering roses and forbidden love

November morning
crow black
is the only sound

wild forests we walk, endless, a waving sea of green, hidden paths between lakes and fens, lichen entangled in our hair, humming lines of forgotten songs that have unbeknownst to our mind slept in the shelter of our souls -

can I know
what we have lost?
burning melodies

a ghostly haze - thick hoarfrost, a blanket, draped across meadows, fields, cold biting my feet as I walk, slowly, my heart touched by this stillness, that comes creeping across the dark green pond in white woods

how strange -
lone blackbird watching me
from a frozen branch

shameless plug:

I don't like to see my face on photos- (nearly as bad as hearing my own voice. I'm a writer, not an actor) But they told me I need to promote more. So, here you go. And yes, it's in German. And nobody will ever make it from BlueSky. But hey, I did promo, right?😁

walking
the crooked
path

the narrow valley -
shades on steep slopes
fires on lone peaks

brighter than stars
calling out
into darkness

flame of summer
extinguished
autumn's twilight dawns

until all light
fades -
trees fall bare

winter solstice
gates open
for dancing shadows

📌 El umbral.

En la vida moderna, el umbral es digital. Ya no es una cueva física, sino el límite constante entre la realidad hiperconectada y el silencio interior. Vivimos en constante suspensión liminal, obligados a redefinirnos con cada nueva tecnología o algoritmo. El miedo a cruzar es el miedo a desconectar, a dejar la sombra segura del anonimato digital por la plena consciencia de la identidad fuera de la pantalla. La luz del umbral moderno es la sobrecarga de información. La salida de la cueva no conduce a una verdad única, sino a un océano de datos donde la elección es abrumadora. La soledad del caminante se amplifica en la multitud conectada: cada decisión (de carrera, identidad, consumo) se siente como un paso intransferible, juzgado instantáneamente por un sinfín de miradas externas.

Looking back at other images of the tree I posted first thing this morning. Apparently, it snowed on this day last year too.

dancing with stars
atop
a mountain of dreams

From sunlit certainty into the wilderness of a star sprinkled sky: old walls, once protecting homes, now nothing but a forlorn memory- I hear a ghostly call, birds of the night, stay by my side, long after our love went extinct

Nights, filled with lingering twilight, the lake: mirror of a strange bright moon. Scent of pine sap, small fish snapping for flies, then- nothing. Overwhelmed by silence

moonlit
summer dreams
fade into blue
