Pace

Where are the milder days, softer undertones of pastel pallette 
Subtle colors and lights, lukewarm temperatures of spring and fall
Easing you in a new day, season, clothing
Slowly fading heat of the summer, lazily turning scarlet leaves
Misty fog of wearing off winter visible through the eyelashes
Drop by drop melting icicles 
The very first grass reluctantly appearing from under the snow 
Streaming facets of time with the million of reflections 
Rolling away, cautious and unhurried 
The world moving in a slow motion 
As it used to be
Long time ago

    And once again, the weeds sprout first, making green
    An easy target on the lawn bleached beige
    The plums are out, the cherries soon to blossom
    There, on the straight-cut hedge, a crash helmet left behind
    So deeply scarred from rubbing curbstone
    Softness strapped on tight rescued a head in peril

Is it something imprinted in your genes... Once in a while you long to return there, walk the streets, smell the air, feel the vibe, see people at the peak of their youth... A surreal time travel where anything is possible in an excitement of anticipation. Stepping in, finding your way around, siting in a small cafe on a warm summer afternoon and watching people go about their business, all the while knowing you are just a guest, a visitor, an occasional passerby and roads are open to you in any direction. Walking familiar streets and seeing them in a different light. Listening to an old song in its first release. Watching a movie though knowing the ending and still be surprised. Enj...

Shadow

Sometimes it's small and non-intrusive. It follows you around quietly without an argument. You hardly notice it exists.  At times it's bigger and more pronounced. You see it when taking photos under the bright sun in short winter afternoons. It's stepping in in front of you to make a point. And then the time comes when it starts to hover above you where it's getting harder to ignore it. It covers your sky, just a small part at first,  then slowly spreading like a big stain and taking away the sun and the sky, taking away warmth, light, color,  playing with your mood and finally getting your full attention. It starts sipping through your pores, getting inside even deeper. You are suddenly very aware of the probing intruder searching for something with its alien fingers. The cold is invading you like a doubt, occupying your waking thoughts, not allowing to forget its presence even for a minute... till the next sunny day that is suddenly here washing away all the dark ...
