I don’t know when it starts
since nothing till muffled
that flute sound grew louder
snaking melodious
lull the heart
and entertain sorrow
in the dry season, heavy rain roared
’till I realized in the eleventh step
that a voice that cannot be erased is an invitation
which when I fulfill,
accompanied by butterfly
between standing people
along with a whisper of mist
my arrival was greeted by a hug of Love.
–
Ahhh…
Suppose you know the meaning of Love.
Poetry & illustration by Albert Herdie – Digital painting from part of Life of the Cosmos series – Invitation.
I loved the illustration, gorgeous colors!
Thank you for the compliment, Ellie. Glad you love it.
Love is some of the most beautiful things that happen to a man-love to nurture and maintain is a real art-a perfectly written friend
I’m so happy that you filled with love and stay in love, my friend. Thank you.
those are some nice trees, I’m inspired
It’s just ordinary trees but they are extraordinary friends.
they don’t look that way ordinarily…
I want to describe the mysterious impression, what do you think besides Nice?
I do pictures, not words…
True love is hard to find … when we find it, we need to nurture it
Does the love you mean here is romance? But you are right, let alone the Love I mean, even love in the things you mean is difficult to obtain and must be maintained.
When someone feels true love they will sing on the inside and on the outside.
Oh really? What song to sing?
Hehehe… Thanks, dear wise friend.
Wonderful words, very nicely written! Thank you for sharing!
Thank youuuuu Mommy. Always good to read your compliment. Thank you…..
Great poem and illustration. That last phrase with hug of love goes well with your new kitties that hug you when you feed, cuddle and put down to bed. Have you named them yet? I was thinking of Ying and yang but also maybe Love and Beauty would be appropriate. Maybe you should start a post asking the Virily community for some name suggestions.
Thank you for the compliment, HistoryGal.
Actually, I am considering your advice and Kim, Yin & Yang, but your idea of asking for advice from friends in the Virily community is also great. I think I’ll do it. Thanks again.
Like in your song, Love always comes in a great style. Nice.
Thank you, Sanae.
Love that I know and realize doesn’t come to me but fills and at once put me in it. lol
Well done! Nice post!
That’s me… I can’t do better than this, Georgi.
A voice that cannot be erased is an invitation…Excellent!!
Thank you, Bradley. I am sure you have found it too.
Excellent! I’ve enjoyed it! Keep on sharing with us your masterpieces!
Thank you, Elena.
Take it easy, if there is a single post that is not a masterpiece here I will scold the writer, painter, illustrator or photographer or the whole team.
What a beautiful greeting you received from a butterfly. Such love was felt through your words. And the beautiful graphics are always enjoyed. Great job.
Thank you, Carol.
I think that butterfly has learned from butterflies around you.
These works can only appear 3-4 times a month until the 365 challenge is complete.
Poetry & illustration by Albert Herdie… – you did the graphics?
Nice!!
What? I have posted so many digital paintings as illustrations for my poems, and have you just realized it now?
Actually, before I was nominated to join the 365 day photo challenge, I only posted digital paintings. As my painting teacher, you seem to lack attention to students.
I must apologise, I don’t read sources … I’d just skip them… but damn! I’ve missed some gems here.
Yes, yes, it’s my fault, dear teacher… (I can’t be your teacher in anyway, no way I could paint like you!!) Please forgive my lack of attention…
Actually you should continue to post your works!! They’re awesome!!
I’ve must think of a way to let them resurface …
You don’t need to apologize, teacher. Just flying high because your appreciation has even made me feel very respectful!
I am still posting my work, it’s just that the 365 challenge makes me prioritize photos rather than paintings because it should be done every day or I will be far scattered and left behind … like now. I post my works about 3-4 times a month.
Think of a way to let them resurface? It makes me feel like a golden boy of you, teacher.
Thanks for the kind words, those are too flattering … good works, wisdom and kindness deserves appreciations, that is all I can say.
Ah, yes I see … It’ll be hard to keep up, I agree… For me it’ll be difficult to come up with a photo and meaningful words for it daily…. I’d lost sleep if I try that… lol
That is indeed a flattering at will. lol
Don’t try that at home. I have lost so much sleep time for it though.
Insomnia pills, anyone?
I can get at discount… lol
I haven’t taken any pills for more than twenty years, after all, I still have a powerful spell to make someone sleep, including to myself.
Then who will wake u up from the spell?
the 2 cutie kitties?
Don’t worry. I have a broom that knows when to wake me up.
Hug of love, hug of friendship, hug of memory, hug of time. Nice line Albert, I love it!
Thanks for your hugs, Doc. I really appreciate it.
