So taking advantage of this newest discovery and the growing knowledge that nothing lasts forever, I decided to write a photo poem.
P.S: A friend who hates to be named in blogs would recognise where the nickname pink and brown came from. :D
P.P.S: All photographs are views from my window, mostly in Amsterdam, a few in Aarhus. Photos are mostly taken by me except where mentioned. For me, every two lines of the poem corresponds to a particular picture (and they are in the same order). But of course, you are welcome to read it however you like.
A line of verse for every image
A spring like this every year
Who can predict what will make you gaze
Look, how serenely trickles in love. Fear
for its transience; it will break your heart
Like how this tree, lingering and bare
And me, will always be far apart
Colours of kindness, pink blue and grey
That stop me from hurrying to somewhere else
I've looked out of the window
and I have learnt to float
Darkness before dawn too is a half-pretence
It preens likewise even before dusk, note.
There is always a rainbow
Only if you care enough
But that too will fade into the night
Just hold nothing too tight.
