In the world of illusions,

everybody is putting on a mask.

As we enjoy the world of illusions,

we end up being an illusion ourselves.

We try to preserve the illusion,

in the end we loose ourselves in its delusion.

In the confusion and chaos of life,

we loose trace of what we are.

Take off your mask,

have a closer look at your self.

Accept yourself the way you are.

A cow in a meadow shakes her bell

And the notes cut sharp through the air,

A sound that echoes in the mountains

And disappears in the low-hanging clouds.

Sunshine falls in shafts of light through the trees,
paints strokes of light and shadow on the fallen leaves.
Impressionists wanted to capture with color
this effect of light and the atmosphere of the moment.
I am impressed by both, nature and artist.

As I sit by the lake,

the world looks so beautiful

As I gaze into the water,

the world seems so peaceful

As I look at the reflections

the world appears like a dream.

Tropical

The Elegance of Nature

Squares in my garden

My garden in a square

A circle

full of life

The circle of life

of a life in a circle

The horizon lights up

Swirls of pink and orange

Fading to blue and purple

Each evening different

No two exactly alike

Something never to return:

A sunset
