huong1952: Paper Lantern Tree

A paper lantern tree and

A crescent moon

Christmas summer nights and

How lucky that

We

Still have

Each other

When the world is shaking

In the remnants of

What’s left of

Love…

huong1952: Another Year

It's another year,

Time flows like a river...

Remember,

You are loved,

Always...

huong1952: Waking up

Dear Tumblr friends,

Thank you so much for all the friendship, love and care sent my way. I have been going through some health problems as the years are picking up on me. But the Heart is still here, all the Dreams are alive and Love is always the ultimate Hope. I am glad you are my friends and I am glad I'm back.

Love to all, Dear Friends, and keep smiling!

Rumors of Blue

A few trees solemnly gather amidst a deep grey failing sky as if painted there my bones creak in the cold, and God laughing, laid the horizon into a cuadro, reminds me how blood freezes in every living thing. These are the times we reach into the palms of hands their soft flesh and blue veins and the life we all weather

hoping we can still plant flowers in the spring and feel the rumor of rivers in our hands.

How You Would Set Wings on the World

Have you been wrapped in the arms of your lover and suddenly stopped wanting everything but this? Has the light cascaded upon the two of you spun together? And have you felt that God must have put you there? That as your skins melted together your heart could burst? That children should walk on flower petals in full bloom laid out by elders? Not as nylon ballerinas and toy soldiers. That war and care,and loss, aren´t avoided by smoothing each other´s heels walking on one another; but better met and circumvented in the enveloping wings of your lover? How you would set wings on the world if we could only grasp the light of meaning, as we do each other in love.

huong1952: Keep me in your colors

Keep me in your colors,

My dearest friend,

My perfect stranger;

In conversation

And in silence,

I need to understand

Why in your eyes the shade of dawn

there are tears the color of dusk?

Tell me what is hurting in your heart,

Are you feeling small tonight

Looking at the stars in a darkened sky?

The crowded earth can be a lonely place sometimes;

And the lake of sorrow is fathomless.

Keep me in your orbit.

I want to be the moon

behind the rain clouds

Wandering around you

Trying to keep the circle of love

intact.

Keep me in your colors,

Let me feel your pain,

Let me fly with you in your dreams.

And even when we are falling

falling

Let us hold hands

Just wanting to say thank you to all tumblr friends. Due to health reasons I will not be able to post much but you are always in my heart.

huong1952: A Thank You to Friends

This is a happy post from a melancholic person whose comfort zone is sadness.

A string made of words had pulled my ‘thought-to-be-forever-lost’ heart back from the misty loneliness in this crowded world. The string I found on an electronic screen. Friends, you have brightened up my life and taught me how to smile again. In you I found the lost childhood friends who were lost in war, lost in poverty and injustices, lost at sea as refugees searching for freedom in faraway lands, lost in madness and traumas, friends for whom my heart was grieving. For many years I lived a colourless life submerged in survivors’ complex. Why did I survive? Why did they die? Friends, you have opened my eyes to a new perspective, a world of inspiring artworks and poetry from the heart. Connectedness exists regardless of differences. Pain is real wherever it is in whatever form it takes, it is validated for each one of us. But beside the pain there is the smile. And happiness is as real and as elusive as a flickering light. 

A THANK YOU TO ALL FRIENDS ON TUMBLR. (DEACTIVATED FRIENDS MUCH MISSED!)
