Adagio

Presto allegro

Forgot how beautiful 
the natural tempo of rain
welcomes the passerby

Stillness into Adagio
increasing to Presto
settling at Andante

Ashburn, VA

Thoughts permeate
as music pipes in

Life,
mosaic of faces and experiences,
pastels of memory

Above the clouds
oxygen so valuable;
Mask, uncomfortable accoutrement,
unveiled upon repast’s serving

Cognac and Baileys
portending to relaxation,
as Helios smiles from the window

Mind flows
filling surface with ink;
On trajectory westbound,
where fragmentation is brewing

Synchronous energy and positivity,
Johann, we meet again


In-flight, Athens-Vienna,      Austrian 802, 13 November 2021

Escape to mountain,
lake and scenic setting,
47 m deep, 80 m altitude 

Time frozen,  
psyche unwound,
staring into peaks and valleys

Friendship reaffirmed,
as life’s events recalled


Mountain Lodge 
façade of psychology;
Innkeeper, 
imparting benefits of healthy living, 
as cigarette releases enigmas

Chorus of jackals
across the valley,
crescendo of trip;
Nature calling,
echoing feelings

Πριν δυο βδομάδες η καταστροφή στο Ντράφι.. Σαν χθες οι καταστρεπτικές φωτιές στην Εύβοια και δυτική Αθήνα, πως να ξεχάσουμε .. μας θυμίζει την θνητότητα.. Η σύνθεση έκφραση αισθήσεων από τα γεγονότα, και για την ελπίδα που μας κατευθύνει στη θετικότητα.

Two weeks ago, the catastrophic fires in Ntrafi, and like yesterday (a ago), the devastating fires in Evia and western Athens… how can we forget? We are reminded of our mortality.

The composition expresses feelings from past and recent tragedies, and for Elpida (Hope), that guides us to positivity.

From our tower of wind, 
Elysian Fields of Aeolus,
looking at Aegean and Cavo d’Oro

Whitecaps,
unbroken chain,
to which we connect
our positivity




Από τον πύργο μας των ανέμων 
Ιλίσια Αίολου
θέα Αιγαίο και Καβοντόρο

Προβατάκια,
ατελείωτος κρίκος
 που συνδέουμε
την θετικότητα

Hot winds,
high blistering noon,
discomforting duet

Sitting on lounging chairs,
on hot, reflective sand,
cigarette smoke floating ad hoc, 
validation via cell phone cacophony
within radius

Tourists and locals,
frolicking in water,
sharing skin with damaging UV rays,
realm of oblivion
