When people look
at my pictures
I want them to feel
the way they do when
they want to read a
line of a poem twice.
Robert Frank
The path to our destination
is not always
a straight one.
Maybe it's about
what we encounter
along the way.
In this lane,
there is no hurry;
the world moves with the
pace of a
whispered secret.
Every winding lane
has a story. That story
begins with a step.
It is more than a path;
it's a memory waiting
to be made.
Some lanes
lead to places,
others
lead to feelings.

Out of difficulties
grow miracles.

DeleteWhat a beautifully reflective piece. Your words and the golden trumpet tree together evoke a journey that’s as much about inner discovery as it is about destination.
ReplyDeleteWow

Beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely mesmerizing! Your words paint such a vivid, unhurried world—it feels like stepping into a hidden corner where time slows down. The imagery of a 'whispered secret' is so evocative, and the idea that every lane holds a story waiting to unfold with just a single step is both poetic and inspiring. It makes me want to wander slowly, listening for the tales the streets might share. Gorgeous writing—thank you for this moment of stillness!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is just what I needed to read today.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky! Cute Pixie!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is the star today, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteYour poems are always the stars of the show, Cloudia, just as RedPat said above. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYes, our paths are not usually straight sometimes we have to go in circles before we reach our destination. Loved the quotes and pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem Cloudia. It is so true, life is full of twists and turns.
