I don't want to miss a single sunrise, said my inner voice this morning after I attended this one, because since 3:30 am I could not fall asleep again. The truth is, I don't know if the other me can comply with that request of my own free will and not as a result of insomnia.
The weather is cool here these days. And it's really nice to see from the little stool I set up on the terrace, now occupied by my cat Yin, how the lights of dawn come on.
I have witnessed many sunrises but it is not a rule, because I usually go to bed very late most of the time.
So I wandered the area around the house a bit and even went up to the roof. I felt peace and that incredible union with the beautiful and the natural but immediately my inner voice that is very poetic but also objective spoke again: The roof has not been waterproofed for years, you need to paint the walls too, the weeds grow unstoppable, the fences are waiting to be painted. That water tank you have here on the roof needs to be replaced by a bigger one and besides, take a good look, it has a crack.
Would you please stop talking? I said softly. 😔
There was a bird on a branch and it seemed to read my thoughts because it twitched a little in displeasure.
When I came down from the roof I took this picture. The grass was wet and I walked a little barefoot. I really enjoyed that moment and tried to keep my inner voice quiet at least for those minutes.
And another picture.
I had the best view of the sky on the roof because in my backyard the tree branches get in the way.
It is a very cozy place with lots of shade, although the rays of the sun play through the foliage and my pets know where to take exquisite sunbaths.
And... as I mentioned in the title of this post I wrote some verses yesterday. A poetic exercise, as the master José Malavé would say. There was a full moon. This is a bit complicated because I immediately feel its influence. However, I did not know it until I went to sit on my stool to breathe the night.
(((i)))
I know you are almost always thinking of me and I...
of course... the same.
We have a nice way of touching each other
as if we were two dragonflies
fluttering in that unknown place that causes storms
so that peace may come later, renewed.
I've looked there into your tiny eyes...
they are sparkles
intimate glimpses
flashes where I can hug you
and kiss you
and make love to you
like I've never done before in my whole life.
I'm still processing the past
I keep retracing my steps over and over again
and maybe...
isn't that a way of walking on your peaks
and then fall off without a tomorrow?
you always make me float in the mist
and so I grow in you
unstoppable.
(((ii)))
when you feel I'm back
rejoice
when you feel I've gone far away
be patient
when the trees pull their roots out of the ground
and direct their giants' footsteps towards the sea
understand that they are on the mission of ships...
the ones that are more than a port and a shipwreck
those who will go looking for you
through the sound of the water
or in the warm caress of the branches that know how to kiss
as if they were melodies / as if eternity were always their kingdom.
(((iii)))
if peace is in kissing you
I'll go in search of it through all my lives
but I won't stop feeling it even if your skin is not on my lips
because somehow you are
like wine in a glass
like water in a river.

lo más maravilloso del amanecer es que devuelve a la vida sus colores, primero los naranjas anuncian que se asoma el sol, luego la vida se alegra colorida. Y así somos nosotros, rayos penetrando la vida con el arcoiris de nuestras almas...
Uy, qué bonito comentario. Gracias. 😀
es que realmente me conmovieron tus palabras...
😌😉
Fan de cómo escribes siempre ♥️🙌✨️
Amo la foto de Yin durmiendo, se respira mucha calma y buenas vibras en ese amanecer.
A veces también me planteo no perderme ninguno, al igual que cuando cae la tarde, hacen que todas las preocupaciones desaparezcan ✨️
Gracias Jessy.
Sí, hay mucha calma en este amanecer y en todos. Porque donde vivo es así. Silencioso.
Vamos a ver qué se puede hacer. 😂
You couldn't sleep, you needed to see the sky and the sunrise for that beautiful poem to come out of you. Almost always the muses appear at night. Happy day daughter. Un beso.❤️
Gracias Mamani. Tú siempre tan linda. 🤗
Esto si es vida!! 😸😸
😅 Sí. Ya me robó mi asiento.
Good afternoon @nanixxx, I will write little that I spoil the post. Beautiful sunrise photos, and an excellent poetic exercise. I see you well, even if you don't sleep....
A very big hug @nanixxx.
Do I look good? Invisible? Or do you mean physically? Maybe, but as a professional psychologist you know that the effects of insomnia go beyond the physical. Hahaha...
It's not that I have insomnia every night. I'm joking. But it's just that sometimes there are thoughts that keep me awake.
Abrazo de vuelta, @enraizar.
For some time now in your texts I have been seeing humor, light, deep feelings that are more and more distant from tragedy. I see you growing... Soon you will be able to caress the sun... That's what I see...
But these poetic exercises are not tragic. Quite the contrary.
It is pure love. 😌
No voy a usar el traductor, a eso mismo me refiero. Definitivamente te veo muy bien.
😉
Te veo mañana 😀👋
I want the your cat's chair, the perfect place to laze in the sun. Yes without the branches getting in the way is the best way to see the clouds!
Well in the summer here no I don't see many sunrises as it is 3 in the morning , in the winter then yes it is different as like now it is 8am and still pitch black!
The poems are wonderful and I love the dragonflies one!
Right now I have a beautiful sunny morning here. 😄 Meow.
Thank you, @tengolotodo. I'm glad you liked this poetic exercise.
You captured these photos in a wonderful way and your cat looks so adorable too! 😁✨️
Thank you. Yes, the cat is getting more adorable by the day. Hahaha... He was just a bit wild. imagine, a stray cat.
I don’t usually wake up early, but reading about how peaceful and magical your sunrise moment was makes me want to try it sometime
I'm glad my post inspired you to do so. Thank you.
Beautiful what I have read and beautiful what I have seen in the pictures. I love the sky and all its forms, and you have good stuff here, but a single kitten makes for a naturally winning photo hahaha... Good day Nanix, I hug you!.
For cat lovers this is the winning photo, so cute, isn't it? Thank you @jesuslnrs, friend, for stopping by and for your appreciation.
I'm making progress on the first one, I'm on the second one, but I can't get enough stanzas of your verses...they are as beautiful @nanixxx, as beautiful as the sunrise that is enjoyed from your roof, from the comfort of your terrace.....but she has the best of spaces there, doesn't she? Hahaha.
A hug friend.
🌹🌞🌹
It's not clear to me what you are making progress on but I guess making progress on anything is good hahahaha.... thanks for your always kind words, @adaluna1973.
A hug back!
Avanzando en la lectura amiga...😂
Me encantó leer el primer verso, el segundo estaba mejor y el tercero super intenso...
Yo quería traerte el primero en un comentario, el segundo después y finalmente no me decidí porque todo el poema es perfecto.
🌹🌹🌹🌹
😀
Jaa.. gracias.
Beautiful, heartfelt and heartfelt poetry and the views you have from the roof are fabulous... I would stay for hours looking at the beautiful sky with some branches and the birds that appear. Very beautiful post, I love it!🤗
Good morning, (avecilla) little bird. 😃 Gracias. You would surely enjoy this backyard.
It's a mini paradise! Remember the ocean drops have the same properties as the ocean itself ....
what a good reminder. 🙃🤗
🤗
Ñu mío esa gatica priciosa 🤗😺, amé esa foto, sale bella. En cuanto a lo que comentas de los pensamientos, a veces puede ser complicado silenciarlos y más cuando vienen así de intrusivos, pero la quietud de la naturaleza siempre es sanadora 💙. El poema del final es hermoso y ¿qué decirte de las fotos? Tu óptica es genial. En cuanto a lo del techo, jajajaja somos dos, a mí ya me "llueve por dentro" como a Luis Fonsi 🤣🤣😁. Te mando un abrazo 💙.
Es un gato masculino. 🤣
Qué cómica eres @vezo. Me has hecho reír. Pues nada, a ahorrar para arreglar el techo... y lo demás.
Abrazo recibido y de vuelta. 😄
JAJAJAJAJA ¿Es macho? Jajajajaja ¡Ups! Que me disculpe el señor Yin 🤣🤣, tenía que verle la carita, las hembras la tienen más redonda. Así mismo es, a ahorrar para que deje de llover por dentro 😁, ese Luis Fonsi es un loquillo 😂.
Beautiful all the way around!
I better not look at it anymore because every time I come here I find some mistake. Hahaha... Have a good night.Thank you very much @deeanndmathews, I really appreciate your feedback. Writing poetry in English is a challenge for me as I am not an English speaker.
Thank you, @visualshots!
