From the depths of the earth they rise, Ancient stones with a story to tell, Pushing through the soil, defying time, Patiently waiting to be unearthed.

And under the scorching sun, They … Continue reading Soft Grey Remnants – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Not all chimes are born equal, Some are crafted from the fondness of memories, Personal heirlooms and trinkets, Charm bracelets and household curios, Purposefully pastiched together, Into sonorous miracles.

In Montreal, where the architecture sings with voices echoing through time, there are buildings of concrete lines, of curves and angles, of majestic design.

Amidst this thin canopy of trees,  I wander freely, With no destination, no purpose, no intention. Just me and nature,  reaching for harmony, Lost in the woods, finding clarity. I see patterns, figures, lines. In every leaf, every branch, every trunk. The light filters through, cascading dynamic designs, A canvas of nature, painted with light. … Continue reading Sentinels – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The wind whispers secrets Through the rustling leaves Each leaf a unique instrument In a symphony of sound. The broad, sturdy oak Produces a deep, resonant bass While the delicate aspen Offers a light, airy melody.

The city roars with life and noise, A symphony of chaos, a drowning of souls. But in the midst of it all, There is a single rusted chime. It pierces through the cacophony, Drawing attention to its lonely melody. A sound so pure and true, It captures the heart, the mind, the senses.

Through sepia tinted lenses, they see vistas of greens and golds and blues stretching out like promises of a world beyond the frame.
