there are moments
when the world sighs
and the winds change
altering
us forever
love, death, birth
new worlds
knocking at our door
unfamiliar in our hearts
redefining
reshaping
we open
our arms wide
and embrace
and invite
everything to change
and then
there are
the small moments
that go unnoticed
with a passing whisper
a kiss goodbye, a wave, a touch
a summer sunset
that weave our days
when the world sighs
and the winds change
altering
us forever
love, death, birth
new worlds
knocking at our door
unfamiliar in our hearts
redefining
reshaping
we open
our arms wide
and embrace
and invite
everything to change
and then
there are
the small moments
that go unnoticed
with a passing whisper
a kiss goodbye, a wave, a touch
a summer sunset
that weave our days
into a tapestry of routine
filling us up
to reach out for
another day
filling us up
to reach out for
another day

The Professor and I will be traveling to Istanbul over the weekend and I'm a bit behind
on my preparations. So I pulled up an old post from over a year ago.
Hope you enjoy and I look forward to sharing Turkey with you!
Have an awesome weekend,

Oh! I am so looking forward to your pics from beautiful Istambul Reena ... I can almost smell the ambiance of the place ... deep aromatic spices and vibrant textures of richly woven fabrics.
What can I say but Enjoy!

Beautiful picture and poem. Have fun in Turkey. I can't wait to see what you'll take. We'll be out of town soon as well. This is the best time of year....love summer:) Be safe and take lots of pictures.
Truly one of those golden moments.
lovely verse...life does change like that...some times in a moment you know and change is not a bad thing...some times it is painful, but many times life knows what it is doing better than us...smiles...have a wonderful trip!
Yes, quite lovely. Have a beautiful time in a city where I lived 3 years. I was just talking with a friend at lunch yesterday who had just been there after 4 years and said how much it has changed since then. I haven't seen it since 1988, and I hear it is like a different place in some ways. But it is still a glowing jewel on the Bosphorus, and I believe you will love it. I look forward to photos!
i need to come travel with you. you find the greatest places to photography. just lovely. (:
I love the poem. Have a great journey to Istanbul.

What a great picture, so relaxing and calming. Richard
Yum! Turkey! I'll bring the cranberry sauce!
Oh, I'm so ashamed... The 45 commenters in front of me had enough willpower to not make the obvious Turkey joke, but me, not so much. I apologize.
What a fantastic shot! There are so many reasons that I like this shot. Really nice!
This is lovely. Enjoy your trip and be safe.
And Suldog! You crack me up. :)
