“In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.” Robert Lynd

 

Autumn

nasıl iş bu
her yanına çiçek yağmış
erik ağacının
ışık içinde yüzüyor
neresinden baksan
gözlerin kamaşır
oysa ben akşam olmuşum
yapraklarım dökülüyor
usul usul
adım sonbahar

Heading to north

“I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.” 
― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

Shadow play

Sunlight skims the tiles of rooftops

Obscured by a chimneys whisper.

Far below shadows play,

Lingering as darkened cloaks

Shadow Play

Hope

“Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul 
And sings the tune without the words 
And never stops at all.” 

― Emily Dickinson

Window

“You have the nicest window, you know? None of the others can even compete. It´s not flashy like the others, or bleary – your window gives of this nice, quiet light.” 
― Banana Yoshimoto, The Lake

Wings

“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.” 
― J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird
