Images in Sophisticated Colours

Images in Sophisticated Colours

In early morning light I wheel myself outdoors. The vibrating air lively with small dancing aphids. In distance near, that booming sound of crashing waves against the sand, waves with their perpetual wish to walk the shore. Waves, so powerful, so strong yet so dumb, a caged animal wanting to escape. I want to escape the prison that sometimes is me, but not now. The air is fresh, the light is sharp, the wind brings longing and shrimp, as well as jelly fish in their frail beautiful dance in water, so plump and sorrowful in death on the shore.

waltz in ozone sun

song of life and love in blue:

waves of soothing sea

The beach also represents my love for dance and motion in harmony with nature, The evening light with its orange colours chant words without speech, that only need to find their way into sentences, born in movement. Stars and nightly black guide thoughts into music, where I see me dance the way I once did.

soft water ripples

around the wheels, inviting

to dance forever

I write down images in sophisticated colours, the eternal dance of fragile mentality, and physical injury, seated here, in the evening shade. Slowly darkness sends away the tangerine sky, covering me with a blanket of warm yellow, and small smithereens of starlight. A myriad specs of them reflected in the soothingly speaking sea. That nibbles at my feet in tender kisses of friendship.

musical shower

courage in frail harmony,

water in motion.
