A glimpse from Brooklyn, NY

A passage to Brooklyn, NY



I walk around

seeing the crowd,

watching the people across the roads

on Wilson, Myrtle, Cypress, Cornelia or Knickerbocker Streets

I find Spanish as the language spoken.



Numerous shops like those of the hairdressers, restaurants,

and other business firms

draw me to get in and have a try;

search for something and take a choice

from all those items seen and displayed.



Like any movements in public… Continue

Verona, Italy

A Reconnoitre in Verona



Nothing can dim the glow of my joy

Those meaningful moments which I still recall

I find certain happiness yet silence in time

With occupying thoughts that always cross my mind.



Along the stream of consciousness, there’s a hidden message

I may be attentive, yet time creeps so fast.

There’s difficulty that hampers me though

a busload of burdens that wrap me till night.

On and off, I turn to gaze at these… Continue

Assisi, Italy

ASSISI: VENTRILOQUISM FOR MY GRAIL



A leap across the hill-top,

Is an encounter with God.

Concealed in the language of history

the depth of human religiosity.



It rings true for me though

those stories of Francis of Assisi.

Surely, striking the hallmarks of simplicity

in quietude where I cling to reality.



There is a twofold bridge in it,

That is historical and biblical

That I must continue to face

the conundrum of life… Continue

Wuppertal, Germany

In Wuppertal (Germany)



Gloomy, quiet and serene

This is the place where I stay.

People work up to the hilt

following the rhythm of each day.



I see and listen to some of them

with wonder and excitement.

Like any stranger in this place

I get to know where they come from.



Now I realize the richness and mobility

That makes me see and experience

In this beautiful city

Where people come and go.



As an experience… Continue

Florence, Italy

FLORENCE: ICONIC IN CLASSICISM



Behind the insatiable appetite of people

who come to see and appreciate

The work of art in human history

lies the images and quality of faith.



This beautiful city of Florence

Where a kind of growth and civilization

Has kept the sentiment of tradition

That carries with it all our admiration.



It is the evidence of achievement

that seems to paint with ever greater meaning

The finest features… Continue
