L'aura del Campo

by Kåre Enga in Montana

Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #982524

Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.

L'aura del campo

'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣

Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th 2009, Missoula, Montana

L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

In response to "Too slow or too swift? "

Legerdemain I just wanted to write something... but in re-reading this it touches on some truths. IRL we are very different and it did work out in many ways. Just not like expected.

One added note. I don't have to like a prompt to be able to write to it.

Nice depiction of regrets.
Going back to the year, the month, even the day you made that choice probably wouldn't change the outcome.
I try to be selective and remember the happy moments and leave the regrets in the past.
Be well

In response to "Too slow or too swift? "

Wordsmitty ✍️ I wrote this before noticing The Cramp's prompts whilst listening to the song. Didn't like either, so imho, nothing lost. I suspect I didn't burn bridges but even bridges need maintenance and sometimes the road ends on the other side or goes nowhere. I cherish what I learned.

Very nice. It's good to hold onto those feelings, but don't let the what-ifs become obsessive. Look forward but be glad for what was. (I didn't listen to the song, but would that matter?)

This certainly cheered me up! I hope it did the same for you.

I relate -- and appreciate the reminder to let sunshine save me!

In response to "Snow day [181.3]"

It needs tweeking. Short lines can be a headache; little room for maneuvering. It's got a cadence, so; yes, it could be a song. The 'conflict' is ending on one long sad fading note. I'm conflicted as to what I do next.

In response to "Snow day [181.3]"

So much pain conveyed, effectively with such sharp short lines. Nice.

potato cakes

potato cakes

the day glooms over the mountains
grey skies part for a moment
cold rains hold off

it's the season of mourning
that time between summer and winter
time to rest or nap

or cook too many potato cakes
what will i eat come morning?
more potato cakes

I lie down but chatter in the hallway
summons me to open the door
i stay in bed snug and safe

except from nightmares
those bastard cousins of dreams
i drift i sleep i wake

safe to say it's time for coffee
time to open eyes to the day
time for rain

and a potato cake with carrots
and a potato cake with cheese on top
snug in a bun

i will read today i promise
promise i will write something new
finish what i've written

then go to market
to buy some bread and whatever's cheap
but not potatoes

unless they're on sale
and my back doesn't ache
and it doesn't rain
