Keep dreaming!

All people dream. Naturally, we are human.

So what is a dream? How would you describe it? Sometimes you hear someone say, “I wish for ‘something’ to happen. Let’s say ‘a big lottery win’ or ‘that puppy walks in through the door.'” I accept the difference between dreaming and wishing as described, for example if someone always wins the lottery jackpot or just a small amount.

I mean, the dream is unattainable, and that’s why it remains a dream. A wish is something that can be achieved.

After all, I’m human. I’m dreaming right now. A really stupid dream, a summer car. Current gas prices, non-existent parking or storage, and every missing reasonable foundation tells me to stop dreaming.

When I close my eyes and play “Day Dreaming” by Aretha Franklin, I see a beige 1972 Chrysler Newport 4D HT Custom with a 6.6L V8 engine, automatic transmission, less than 500 miles on it. The drivers door is ajar. I hear Aretha on the AM radio. My dream…

Cabo de Hornos

El sol en el vendaval de verano
como un limón fresco
Besando mi alma con gracia como Sophie Kalos
con el mejor aroma en la piel
protegiéndome del escorbuto de mi vida

Y cuando doy la vuelta al Cabo de Hornos de nuevo
por favor proporcione buen viento y mucho sol
con muchos limones frescos

Mi sol en el vendaval de verano es como un limón fresco

At the beach house Villa Rosa

There was a viper
at the back of old shed
Bluish gray by colour
a clear male
Napping over a stack of wood

Had his chances but really not
Did not live too long after
spotted and beheaded
by heavy steel shovel

Yep yeppers how I hate snakes!

Twig of a Thorn

“Tears like spikes in twig of a thorn
One given for the disciples
Two for the ones left in yearning
The rest for all that have passed away
for the sweet and beloved; forever gone
Rest In Peace, Mother!”

A year ago, on Sunday the 17th of June 2007 my mother passed away at the age of 74. Even we lived our notably distant lives I continue thinking of her almost daily.

Periwinkles of Surreal

I hear you loud
in the garden, dear;
everything is alright.
Yet bleeding shivers of joy
discover ruthless weathers,
with liberty of stealing;
no more than a moment.
