A L O H A From Honolulu!
At night, everything is more intense,
more true. The echo of silence
is loudest then.
Vincent Van Gogh
Canvas washed in gold,
silver shadows flee,
Brilliant brushstrokes burst out
wild, energetic and free.
Brilliant brushstrokes burst out
wild, energetic and free.
Morning's herald paints
her way across the skies
Ignites the world with hope
feeding and filling our eyes.

You humans, so little
in your own eyes. ...
don't even comprehend that
you are dragging the entire
creation along with you.

You write the best poetry
Starting the week without Pixie is not possible.
...silence is golden.
I like night photos.
Pixie is always a star on your post.
Love the night time view of the city.
The Rainbow shower tree is lovely.
Take care, have a wonderful week!
It must be overwhelming to have blossoms everywhere. Ours are limping along through drought, except those hand watered. Love the quote by William P. Young. Pats to Pixie! Thanks for your thoughts today!
A great night shot, Cloudia. ;-)
Your photography and poetry are marvelous!
I love the complete stillness of the middle of the night.
Your poem captures the essence of the photo above it. Wow!
Blessings, Cloudia!
Every photo I enjoy and the words that go with them. Love the poem and it is always so sweet to see dear Pixie. Have a wonderful day both of you, and thank you :)
Wonderful words and photos. The night photo and quote are my favourite today. Have a fantastic new week, Cloudia.
Each of you is so appreciated! Thank you so much for your visit comments
I have just come from a place by the sea that I wrote was 'full of noisy silence'
Love that chicken!
