Pencil Vs Camera - 51

This is an old woman I met in a street of Venice, Italy. She was walking alone and looking very sad. Ok, women live usually much longer than men, may be that sweet grandma was missing her man. Anyway, I hope that person feels better now. As always, I took the photo and also made the quick drawing.

Give Some Future

By Peter S. Quinn

Give some future inside tomorrow
All is drifting in its breeze
Flowering seeds there to borrow
Love is disguise to what you see
The rainy clouds come and go
Everything is quite steady on
You must just feel what you know
Rise to the billows or be gone

Past to future will carry destiny
Nothing we can do about or break
Love songs into open for you and me
Who is the judge to what it takes
Right or wrong may be in your book
Wedging on the things that you know
But who really knows where to look
When footsteps divide them and grow

Not everything's just right or wrong
Something’s so much in there between
Just like there is some beautiful song
Others are still dwelling to be seen
You and I have hope for so much
Bringing forward the coming day
Hanging it lose getting out of touch
Life is not brightness or its grey

Is It Just Only
An Abracadabra?

By Peter S. Quinn

Christ has its many faces
And now it's like this
A cool monkey graces
The cradle that once was his

For our world is carefree
In all our endeavoring
And we like what we see
In our seeds and flowering

Though we are just the cell
Of space time and beyond
And cannot there foretell
What our heart has found

But isn't there - something there
Still unmarked or seen
For some close and near
And other just in between

Christ what is this phenomena
That tulips glow and shine
Is it just only an abracadabra?
To draw a religious border-line

We only have faith to believe
And can't get on to knowing
Beyond our veracity sleeve
If it’s only a superstar
Or more showing…
