I've had just enough time to... listen to the sound of falling leaves...
Taken one chilly morning in the backstreet of The Rock, Sdyney
Leaves
fall
The
speed of tears
Smash
the ground
Silently
splash
Quivering
echoes
Through
silent streets
The
Giant cries
Tears as
many as leaves
Catching
the mournful wind
Through skeletal
branches
Till no
more leaf is left to shed
Then deadly
silence
Winter
is here to stay
Sometimes
you are sad. You may not be able to point out a single incident or even a
number of incidents that are making you sad. They may have some effects but you
know they should not make you as sad as you are. You are just sad. Stop looking
for the reasons. Indulged in it for a while. A sad movie, a sad story or a
sentimental song. Or a chat with an old friend, a long walk in the park, an
evening by the sea. Do whatever works for you. Sadness prepare us for happier
times. Just don't lay on It for too long. It may get so comfortable that you would
not want to get up again.
Leaves Falling - Sound of Silence by Regon Kuo
An early chilly morning in Sydney on our last day there on this trip. While waiting for the cup of hot coffee and ham cheese croissant, I walked quickly through the quiet back street of “The Rock” leaving my companion for a while, while I go hunting. I don’t know what I will find but I will know when I see “it”. I look ahead and side and up. I was feeling kind of melancholy (who knows why? – I don’t analyze my feelings, just feel what I feel) so I know I will shoot something that convey my feelings. And this period, I fall for leaves…
