Cute Quotograph… and lightness

 

Silent steps in the lightness,
stems so green and the brightness
pure essence of mystery
that embraces the ripeness…

Soft warm traces of dew,
hours gone, old and new;
long becomings and spirals
all divided by two

Shiny rays in the night,
empty sounds and sight,
songs in tune with our voices,
mist of murmurs in flight…

Shadows peaceful and blue,
breeze of whispers goes through,
wavy rhythm and rhyme
divine, wistful and true

Zâmbet roz…/ Pretty pink for “Last on the Card” – March 2024

 

“Maturity is the moment one regains one’s innocence.”
― Marty Rubin

Mi-am petrecut weekend-ul de final de martie fotografiind din plin câteva crenguțe “sacrificate” dintr-un mic cais, salvate de mine și puse într-o vază… un traseu neașteptat,

bobocii minisculi li s-au deschis în flori de un roz pal superb!

 

I spent the end of March weekend taking quite a few photos of some small twigs ‘sacrificed” from an apricot tree when tweaking, saved by me and kept in a vase for a couple of days… quite a bit of a journey,

the tiny buds opened in a pale pink blossom splendor!

 

These are both phone photos and photos taken with my two Nikon cameras over the weekend, quite an array of macro attempts and so,

…sharing here to join Brian’s Last On The Card on bushboy’s world blog.

 

Well, in my case the challenge seems to actually be called.. Last photos on the cards, 😀

.. nevertheless, I hope you enjoy all the pretty pink late March buds and bloom!

Flori de lumină…/ Flowers of light

 

“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I’m gazing at
a distant star.
It’s dazzling, but the light is from
tens of thousands of years ago.

Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more. Yet sometimes
that light seems more real to me than anything.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

 

 

Atunci când sideful unei clipe
strălucește palid
pe-o rază-atingere
coborâtă din zi,
fir de stea de departe m-ajunge,

Mă întreabă ca-n vis
despre culori și amurguri,
despre nori
despre îngeri și tine,

Mă îndeamnă să zbor iarăși
a gând și cuvânt de senin
și aproape
a petale de cer…

Să aflu cărări, învieri,
adieri de care uitasem,
mă îndepărtasem…

Să le respir lumina,
rădăcina, tulpina
strecurându-li-se firav,
luminându-mi a cale,
a magic și soare,

Prin murmur de umbră
din inima mea

 

 

When the shimmer of a moment
flickers so pale
on the touch of a sun ray,
a star’s trail crosses my way,

It asks me as if from a dream
about colors and sunsets,
about clouds,
about angels and you,

It urges me to fly again
on wings and words from the blue
and the closeness,
from petals of sky

To tread on pathways and alleys,
breezes  almost forgotten,
that I thought gone astray…

To breathe in their brightness,
roots and stems, their likeness
easing up in pure lightness,
lighting up all my steps
of magic and sun,

A shadow’s murmur
from deep in my heart

Răspântie…/ Crossroads

 

“Who knows if [maybe] destiny is just
how you tell yourself the story of your life?” 
― Jandy Nelson, I’ll Give You the Sun

Căutarea-și pierde unduirea și urma,
iar cărarea-i doar un simplu popas,
În umblarea senină dinspre gânduri apuse
nu e loc nici de-un scurt
bun rămas

Lumina năvălește șuvoi prin ferestre
îmbrăcând povestea în cer,
Candoarea pulsează ca o răspântie
coborâtă senin
din eter

Azi din nou se îmbracă în mâine cuminte,
cum ieri s-a topit întru azi,
Clipele-n ploaie se aștern amintire
ca eterul sclipind
peste brazi

The journey is losing its winding and trail,
and the pathway is both right and wrong,
On the bright blue adventure and its forsaken musings
there is not even time for
so long

The light pours in through the wide open windows
dressing the tale in skies,
The candor is pulsing like at a crossroads
that has just descended
from highs

Todays swiftly turns into tomorrows,
like yesterdays into todays,
Raindroplike moments… a mantle of memories,
soft ether over
glistening trees

Câte-n lună și-n soare…/ Moonlight and morning sky

 

“My favourite conversations are those with the universe,
I speak all that I am and the most beautiful response
flies a shooting star across the sky, it’s proof ~
vibrations of light have the capacity
to change our world.”
― Nikki Rowe

 

Moon’s glow… the night’s sweet riddle
magically murmurs in the skies,
its shine conjuring hazy yesterdays,
its whispers foretelling
tomorrow’s sighs

Lumina lunii… blând susur în noapte
murmură a magic pe cer,
strălucirea ei rotește neguri de ieri,
șoaptele-i îmbracă mâine
în mister

Sun’s light… bright morning’s smile
embracing my early light-headed time,
clouds drifting like thoughts on tiptoes
start writing a fresh
day’s rhyme

 

Raze roz de soare… zâmbet al dimineții
purtându-mi moale pașii-a limpezire,
nori ușori ca gândurile-mi pe vârfuri
începând să-nșire a zilei
prospețime
