Castles in the air, Memories of what could have been, Hopes for what might be, Visions of dreams I once saw From the stained castle windows. All pictures from pixabay and all thoughts my own, although I’m sure someone has already expressed some of them.

#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘5 Steps to Writing a Poem’ #March2021 @Pixabay #Poetry #ThursdayMotivation
Today’s just one of those days… The Moon’s hiding In night’s black cave, The darkest hour, Seconds before You surrender, The moment when Hope has devoured Your weary dreams, Open your eyes, Look up to sky, The cloud has passed, The moon is always there, However dark the night. @LucciaGray Being almost 62, I’ve hadContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘5 Steps to Writing a Poem’ #March2021 @Pixabay #Poetry #ThursdayMotivation”
#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘Invincible’ #March2021 @Pixabay #Haiku #ThursdayMotivation
Today I needed a WAM Morning, that is my Water And Music therapy. Step 1: I get up and jump into the shower while my favourite motivating song/s of the moment are playing, loud enough to block out my terrible singing! The songs vary depending on my mood. Today it was The Champion sung byContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘Invincible’ #March2021 @Pixabay #Haiku #ThursdayMotivation”
#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘The Sun Will Rise’ #March2021 @Pixabay #Haiku #ThursdayMotivation
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. Victor Hugo, Les Misérables, 1862. After darkest night Sun will rise on horizon Bringing light and warmth **** We cannot avoid dark nights, there will be one every day, as surely as the sun will rise. As the sun sets, the night gradually darkens untilContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘The Sun Will Rise’ #March2021 @Pixabay #Haiku #ThursdayMotivation”
#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘Butterfly Effect’ #March2021 @Pixabay
Don’t worry, I’m not going to introduce you to Edward Lorenz’s hypothesis, presented at the New York Academy of Science, in which he states that the flutter of a butterfly’s wings could set in motion a movement of air which could eventually lead to a hurricane on the other side of our planet. There areContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘Butterfly Effect’ #March2021 @Pixabay”

#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘The People I Love’ #February2021 @Pixabay #Tanka
Al final del camino me dirán: —¿Has vivido? ¿Has amado? Y yo, sin decir nada, abriré el corazón lleno de nombres.

#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘White Swan’ #February2021 @Pixabay
White Swan This is no black swan Who was once a duck, This is no mirror Hanging on the wall, This is no painting, Seen in museums. She’s a brave, white swan Travelling alone Towards the unknown, Sure to overcome Any sudden storm. The queen of the seas **** Events that are difficult to predictContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘White Swan’ #February2021 @Pixabay”
#ThursdayPhotoThoughts #Tanka ‘Beware of the Vampires’ #February2021 @Pixabay
This picture has taken me to a dark place I’m familiar with, but not fond of. I’m standing outside the doors to a dark castle inhabited by thirsty, blood-sucking vampires. Some will suck your blood And your dreams, if you let them. Forgive and ignore, They have their own sad journey. You cannot change theirContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts #Tanka ‘Beware of the Vampires’ #February2021 @Pixabay”
#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘Decluttering Clothes’ #February2021 @Pixabay #ThursdayThoughts
I definitely have too many clothes in my wardrobe. Some no longer fit, some are no longer fashionable, others are worn out, some I don’t like any more, but even so, I have a hard time getting rid of them. Am I a hoarder? Perhaps, although I don’t think so… About twice a year IContinue reading “#ThursdayPhotoThoughts ‘Decluttering Clothes’ #February2021 @Pixabay #ThursdayThoughts”
