Daylight is an old man sitting outside the jagged shack...
Hand on cane chin on hand.
And his old soul is a butterfly sitting in the brink of time.
A moment decisive. And me too--tested has been the day.
Empty handed I befall lips sealed windswept
I am the old man.
(Cielo Noriega)
-------------------
Have you ever felt this way before?... And I was struck all at once how life was out there going through its regular courses, and I was caught in its whirlpool; suspended, waiting, caught in a cell within a cell; between living my life and not living it the way I want to live it... I know... there will be better days...
Sometimes it happens also to me...
ReplyDeleteThat's when I need to stay closer to nature to clean my thaughts.
Your photo is absolutely gorgeous

Ah, yes, my sweet Cielo- I have days like that, too. Ones where I feel I am living someone else's life. It is usually fleeting but it is there. Blessings and love to you today- xo Diana

ReplyDeleteahhhh but of course my dearest Cielo...we do have those melancholy momments that really make us appreciate the days when all is well with our souls.
ReplyDeleteyou put it so tenderly as only an artist can paint those picture for our minds to see...
love from the cozy cottage where we love a rainy dark day more than sunshine:)
Sem duvida, acho que nós humanos somos todos iguais... infelizmente, este sentimento não é apenas um privilegio seu! Tenha calma, isso passa! Um lindo domingo para você!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone has days like that but they pass and, having had those days, you can appreciate the good ones even more.
ReplyDeleteHi Cielo - Lovely pictures. I like you poem.

This was beautiful! and yes, I have been feeling that way more than I would care too as of late. But the sun is shining today and I will get out in the garden and enjoy mother nature ... hopefully that will help to re-energize that spark for living within me... xo HHL
ReplyDeleteMelancholia... I think that the old man... His name ...
