世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと
Our life in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
It's like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky.

how tender and beautiful. this photo reminds me of the first blossoming tulip that I have seen this spring today and I praised and thanked our lovely elderly gardener for embellishing our lives once more with beauty. she is truly a magician.

Deleteand this is perhaps the first yellow poppy i have ever seen?
hugs
She is truly a magician.
ReplyDeleteYes.
And after perusing this short text you will almost certainly recommend, cautiousness being one of your best qualities, that i book several hours (of merriment) with a psychiatrist, since my raucous Rorschach reading of your picture has invoked in me some dark cloud of militarism. Odd, isn’t it? Especially since your photo has nothing to do with North Korea or any in-your-face dictatorship. Still, the mind is a fragile place. I once dreamed that the color lavender was a minty-green. This too is odd, as the remapping of color is not that common among the sane. A few days at the sanatorium will probably put my mind at ease, forcing me to acknowledge that not all thoughts are meant to stroll unchaperoned in a garden of poppies.
what can i say, poor me, who can't even dream in colours??? such performance (lavender turned into minty-green) is beyond my imaginative powers :-)
Deletenext, they will wonder where she steals these photos from (or maybe they just present themselves to her, along the paths of a poppy garden :-)
ahhh, cat de frumosi, de impecabil de frumosi sunt! nu stiu daca am vazut asa ceva vreodata, habar nu am, dar stiu ca ACEASTA ESTE PETRECEREA!!!!! da, nu e in mine,acum,decat sarbatoare si sarbatorire, si galbenul soarelui plecat in maci, ca sa ne spuna povesti despre ce inseamna adevarul culorilor...deja ma simt pe aripi de vis:)
ReplyDeletenici eu nu vazusem, iubita, maci galbeni pana atunci, m-au fermecat :-)
Deletema bucur ca s-au adunat atatea, deja, pentru Petrecere, atatea culori si vise :-)
stateam eu si priveam fotografia si nu imi dadeam seama ce este cu macii pe floatingjapan. bineinteles ca nu mi-a trecut prin gand ca in japonia ar fi maci rosii. ma minunam doar cum ai putut schimba culorile astfel. ;-) dar este o explicatie, nu... erau maci galbeni, minunati, incredibili, reali, neschimbati de real, de fapt ;-))
ReplyDeleteadunam florile cele mai frumoase pentru petrecerea neasemuita
