primroses

I could stay for hours under the sun
to contemplate bouquets of primroses,
to listen to the buzzing of insects,
To contemplate their petals, the shape of hearts,

I could stay for hours if no one comes,
to absorb the happiness of such delicate flowers,
Ah, wasting your time is always winning it,
Wasting your time, it’s an art, it’s a work,

It takes the help of God and wild nature,
To understand the soul of things, symbols,
I could stay for hours in the sun.
Contemplating primrose bouquets.


Je pourrais rester des heures sous le soleil
à contempler des bouquets de primevères,
à écouter le bourdonnement des insectes,
à contempler leurs pétales en forme de cœur,

Je pourrais rester des heures si nul ne vient,
à absorber le bonheur des fleurs si délicates,
Ah, perdre son temps, c’est toujours  le gagner,
Perdre son temps , c’est un art, c’est une œuvre,

Il faut l’aide de Dieu et de la nature sauvage,
Pour comprendre l’âme des choses, des symboles,
Je pourrais rester des heures sous le soleil.
À contempler des bouquets de primevères.

Perfect For Me

It is said there is perfect forme

through the sands of time

where the shape of one

becomes two...

an emerging tone

each passing stone

becomes a note in the wind

and a quote in the mind

as the matter of a string

revolves to sing

where life divides...

" growth "

while appearing to die

really doesn't

only in the kind eye

of a storm

can seeds travel on to a far

taking rest in soils rich with air

there...

in the Hour where God said to care...

did a simple call

to believe

in us all

appear...

amid a beautiful sound

to behold

Premium Member Sharing a Snack With a Dog

Enjoying a snack 
On my plate with a grilled cheese
The dog comes running
It is time to share my snack
Some forme, some for the dog


S - Self

Soak into your senses 
Stop stepping down your standards for someone's satisfaction
Your skeptical because selflessness sent you staggering 
Stumbling and succumbing to something you are not
Something stagnantly synthetic
Submerged under the surface
Something inside you sees the shackles separating you from sustainment
Trying to salvage the shortcomings and sever the shady feelings of the struggle
Be satisfied to step up and stand out
You are sterling in singularity

Crie Um Exercito De Dois Guerreiros

Crie - Forme um exército de dois guerreiros

Para prosperar 
na vida e nos negócios
Forme um exército
Com dois guerreiros poderosos:
a paciência e o tempo.

O guerreiro Tempo
É sempre livre.
 você pode usá-lo. 
pode mantê-lo, 
como pode perde-lo. 

O guerreiro Paciência é ativo
nunca passivo.
Paciência é o guerreiro que espera
e continua a fazer sempre mais
quando tudo pode ser difícil e lento.

En Regardant Les Peintures

En regardant les peintures,
je me rend compte d'un monde des génies,
où les choses racontaient des choses sans demander,
où il n'existait pas la trahison,
où la nature était en pleine forme,
où pour être belle une fille n'avait pas besoin de changer sa forme.
En regardant les peintures...

Field of the White

Lost in a vertical field
Stretched over a wire,
Cut into a shape,
Hanging on  wet folds ...

The sun moves and dazzled me,
... I'll be drunk by the white
Cleared to everyone eyes,

Already waving, and pushed by the wind,
Until going out of the canvas,
And thus losing my shadow.

Egaré dans un champ vertical,
Tendu sur un fil,
Découpé en une forme,
Accrochée aux plis humides …

Le soleil se déplace et m’éblouit,
… Je serai bientôt bu par le blanc ,
Effacé aux yeux de tous,

Déjà ondulant,    et poussé par le vent,
Jusqu’à sortir de la toile,
Et perdant ainsi mon ombre.

Premium Member Listening To "a Piece En Forme De Habanera"

Alternating Major and minor
Sitting
Being cloud-tossed
Emotionally abused
Heart-struck!
I will myself never ending amused
Deeply    purposely used
How that poet knew    how well
That Ravel
