POEM OF THINGS
I love space and place, and the things that do not speak.
The being there, the being in a certain way,
the knowing how it is, where it is, and how,
the waiting without haste, and attending to us
in the necessary way.
Serene in themselves, always true to themselves,
things wait for despair to seek them.
The door opens, and the very air speaks to us.
The net curtains, precisely those,
the chair where memory sits,
the table, the glass, the cup, the clock,
the piece of furniture where someone leans
without volume or time,
ourselves, when indignant eyes
hide beneath the lids.
A stone is placed in the hand, and the stone has weight,
it weighs with us, forming a whole body.
The hand closes, and the hand takes its shape,
knows the stone, understands its form,
feels it smooth or rough, and knows where.
The hand opens, and the same stone looms large.
If only it were the love of men,
when the hand opened, it would no longer be there.
"ANTÓNIO GEDEÃO"
I am sharing photos of landscapes, moments and experiences. Nature and sea are the most visited themes in my photo collection, but any attention-grabbing aspect can be photographed. Hope you enjoy it...
