Purple clouds amidst the calm...

I love how snow

Fills purple clouds amidst the calm.

How the flurries fall,

Circling down, like a ballroom dance.

How muffled the world sounds,

Soaking the city’s chaos, like a sponge.

I love how red post-boxes

Gain prominence

Against such white.

How, under your feet,

The snow greets you with a crunch.

How deliciously, soup tastes

In a midmorning brunch.

I love how snow

Fills purple clouds amidst the calm.

To think That you’ve lost it all...

To think

That you’ve lost it all.

To feel

That there is no hope.

To step

Out of your comfort zone.

These are the swamps of dreamers.

The place

Where one must walk on eggshells.

Time to bid 2012 Farewell...

photos & poem © Jesús Montero

Time for the tail winds

Of planes

To embrace the Earth

Like cobwebs.

Time to pack our cases,

To take us

No matter where.

To mix clove, 

Cinnamon and orange zest.

Time to bid

2012

Farewell.
