Untouched Nature and the Sound of Silence [peaceful video]

Coming from pxleyes.com, this showcase was selected by me, and put together in this wonderful video by my friend Julien. He also picked the wonderful music. All in all, this is a video for the soul.
Take some time to listen to the music, breath deeply, look at the breath-taking wonders of nature, relax and enjoy!

Will you be my Valentine? [beautiful poem and image]

Words can tell what hearts divine
This most romantic time of year:
So will you be my Valentine?
I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
Till golden moon meets midnight drear.
For words can tell what hearts divine

When air’s perfume and water’s wine,
And cupids hover at one’s ear:
So will you be my Valentine?

And do we feelings dare define
In phrases adamant and clear?
For words can tell what hearts divine,

And souls can step across a line
On days when angels wait to cheer:
So will you be my Valentine?
Ah, love! Let love this one day shine
On fancies lush and passions sheer!
For words can tell what hearts divine:
So will you be my Valentine?

Spectacular Sunrise through the Fog [beautiful photography]

Morning is the best of all times in the garden. The sun is not yet hot. Sweet vapors rise from the earth.
Night dew clings to the soil and makes plants glisten.
Birds call to one another. Bees are already at work.

Autumn Morning Photography – Inspiring Words

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape, the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it – the whole story doesn’t show.

Hello Glittering e-Card for Friends


Hello and have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night! It doesn’t matter on what part of the Globe you are, if you are close or far, if you are just having your morning coffee or if you say your goodnight prayers… By seeing this card, you’ll know someone thinks of YOU, in this huge world…

Friendship Glittering Card


This is so true… the sad thing nowadays is how friends grow apart from each other due to the ever lasting enemy: time! Once a week call a different friend, one that you haven’t been in contact for a while… You will feel his smile through the phone, just give it a try!

The Fifth Letter – Beautiful and Sad Love Poem

The Fifth Letter - Beautiful and Sad Love Poem

photo by Ali QJo

 

I sit at my desk, with a candle lit
Since you joined the navy, I can’t rest a bit.
It is close to midnight, and I miss you so
I wish you’d come back and then never go.

Our garden’s blooming, with the roses red,
Like the ones you gave me… remember? When we met…
Your mom caught a cold, but she said “Don’t worry
My son, focus there, and return in glory!”

Now I write again, this is my fifth letter
Do you know a way how to make this better?
Darling there’s no way for me to ease this pain
Since you joined the navy, it all seems in vain.

I stare at your picture, every single day
You’re close in my heart, but so far away…
Did your captain say when you can come home?
Darling you must ask, I feel so alone!

But what’s wrong with me, this is the fifth letter
That I write to you, and I don’t feel better…
All I do is write and then pile them in a box
The war is long over, but your ship hit rocks…

Darling how I miss you, since you joined the navy,
And you’ll never know that we have a baby…
