Albert Herdianto Widjojo
The same sky
reflected on many surfaces
The one sun
bouncing on all clear surfaces
as a faint reflection
small and meaningless
a large field with bright light
or a dazzling little reflection
or all variants
in such a way that
all the reflections assume
that it exists
because its hallucinatory eye sees
that it exists
many are trapped
for see the other is more beautiful than it
or it is, more beautiful than the others
pain or laughter
is the next story.

Another thought provoking philosophical piece of beautiful poetry Albert. An amazing shot too!
Thank you so much, Bradley. My heart jumped happily every time you praised my work.
You are most welcome my friend. It is I who is blessed to glean off your wisdom and great talent. I don’t believe that I’m the only one.
As a human being, each of us is unique and the only one, though our essence is the different lights with the same fire.
Great combination of poetry, thinking and photographing. I always enjoy your poetry.
Thanks a lot, Dear Elenka. It’s been a while since I have not posted poetry so I do it again.
Aww… Thanks a lot, Tas!
Ok, a quick search say the wine is pretty valuable…
and I will assume you meant that for my comment :p
hehe
and yeah, a glass a day is good for health :p
Yep! One or two drinks a day is healthy! And wine is a gift of friendship.
Note taken…
next time I know what to bring over to parties :p
Yes, if you intend to carry it, bring a bottle, not a glass… lol
Beautiful words and photograph, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your appreciation, Mommy. I really appreciate it
I often have pain and laughter in the same breath. This is beautiful Albert.
Wow… That is the perfect duality, the true balance that gives the best learning experience.
When you finally learn it is ok to have such emotions at one time, you can relax and roll with it. Because after all, it is what it is. Once again.
You are so right! Duality is the reality of our life on earth, we have to accept it with grace and gratitude, and in that way, we will succeed in learning.
I can’t comment about the poem… seriously I suck at literature…
your way of expression seems to level up each time you post…
🙂
Hahaha… I realize that poetry is less popular indeed, but since I have not posted poetry for long, so I did it. Btw, your praise is like a glass of Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon 1941… that makes me drunk!
