The Transit of Venus

My face glows with thoughts of delight as I observe the transit of Venus, a phenomenon that dwarfs the human mind; filling my heart with a sense of excitement and a good dose of pioneering energy. It is a sublime spectacle, a luminous landscape of promise; an enigma wrapped up in a riddle; covering hectares of heaven where the cosmic nymph sings and dreams come true.

with this iphone

i capture the transit of Venus

chasing dreams

learning to walk

along the transit of Venus

one step at a time

dark disk on the face of the sun

how cool is the kiss

of bliss in the transit of Venus

I sit like an angel on heat in the primordial pond of time drunk with love divine; looking at the poignant picture of the endless universe; the aching dance of day and night a pleasure to behold. Yet, a flash of love particles in the orbit of Venus captures the moment.

the lost boy in hot pants…

taking the

transit of Venus by storm

gold dust

in the transit of Venus

scent of the Big Bang

you shake off the blues

in the transit of Venus…

narrowing the distance between us

Who talks of entropy when there is so much love and energy in the discovery of exoplanets, a spontaneous explosion of aesthetic delight. The sun sings. The cosmic rose blossoms. A new river of nectar rolls into my visual field. And a new way of life emerges in the fecund universe of desire.

a still small voice echoes

in the transit of Venus…

the sound of love grass growing

i sail across the transit of Venus

with limpid eyes; reading

the secret fragments of life foretold

a flurry of love particles liberates

my consciousness; energizing my soul

in the transit of Venus

Quest for Survival

i glide into
the future with my head
among the eagles
channelling
the God of small things

captivated by the world of energy
sound and rhythm…
i arrived at the crack of dawn; carrying
the vivid fragments of life
along the river of creation

it all started as a simple
journey up the pecking order
no lights
no cameras
no emails from the cyber space!

nothing but
the quest for survival…
the rugged determination
to catch
the falling star
