Clutching slabs of memories, eroded by the winds.
and this infinite ribbon will become ocean and tides, walking my soul.
There, where the time ends, me and you together.
Sometimes, beauty reveals to our eyes in the most unexpected ways. This is a photographic report of one of those fragile moments. I was in Lignano, a sea-place close to Venice (Italy), waiting for my work colleagues to meet me early in the morning. There was a good light and a good mood. In this post, I decided to not be too much descriptive but to entrust my feelings to poetry. I hope you enjoyed it as much as me.

That was a good poem and very good photos. Good job
Thanks bud, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I think I can feel what you felt when you wrote this poem. The photos helped me to reconstruct the mood.
It's not easy to be able to transmit the very feelings to the reader, it's something that is beyond the words used
Thanks and what a particular interpretation, tovarish. I was deeply influenced by the music I was listening to. The classic theme of the Fall/Winter sea.. always a must.
There is a true timeless and spiritual quality to this poem brother!
Feels like it is reflecting the sadness of time's passing and history repeating those same well worn echos.
Then... boom you hit us with this line, rightly showing the hope of quieting those eternal recurrences through the dichotomy of the silent note.
I love the echos of the transcendental in your poem @f3nix. Here's some Tao to wrap up my woefully inadequate comment trying to join in describing the immense of it all ;-)
Well, @raj88, after your comment I have nothing to add :D You stole my favorite line :)
Jokes aside, I love how arts are such a solitude experience. Each of us seeing, reading, feeling something different.
I read the poem in a single gasp. I guess I was looking for an answer to an existential question that bothers me for some time now. And I saw something completely different in the very same line that @raj88 quoted.
I felt like I wanted to believe so much in "our souls" meeting in the "eternal recurrence". But I am in a certain point in my life in which I feel very angry with death that I cannot think of it in a poetic and spiritual way. I can't help myself but see just a sharp inevitable end of it all. Darkness. Pure nothing.
So, at the end of the poem, I felt angry with life and death all over again. Just because I failed once more to feel the spirituality of "where the time ends".
So, this was me reading this great poem and reflecting within the process :)
Cheers!
I'm sorry to hear that, Val.
I understand your feelings, one day eventually a scar will remain and you'll rejoin with yourself at the end of time.
Today I write this, tomorrow I could deny it.. everything changes and flows. Take care and thanks for your deep comment and talking about yourself like a real friend.
The story of my life :)
Thank you, @f3nix!
You're welcome, buddie. Have a good week-end 😉
My dear friend, I don't know any other steemian capable of such depth in a comment. Your words are fuel for my thoughts and thank you for dropping that Tao The Ching gem of knowledge. When we write we constantly face the struggle of language, space, time and also mind itself.
Awesome pictures. Keep it up.
Thanks for your feedback @derangedvisions. I followed your advice in the last shot and you were right. I want to focus more on photography as the main content and not only a frame for my writing.. cheers!
This is admirable and minimal!!
Thanks, yes that's my style, especially the admirable part ;-P
A lovely tribute to your wife--and to you for feeling such love.
The poetry and pictures bring a sense of peace. What more can an artist hope for?
Thank you @agmoore. The poetry has been seen in 4 different ways so far.. that's so interesting. I'm glad you liked my photos in the Mizu no Oto (was reading the discord right now).
