reflections...

life is about reflections as we ponder about our daily existence. life is still a mystery even though how hard we stretch our minds and our imaginations. we do not even know for sure about our true origins as we are fed by our faith or by our own religion and by science with their own theories of how we got here. all we know is that time ticks every single day. as it ticks the seasons change, our bodies get older no exceptions. we fade like the flowers that we plant. our life is just a matter of a length of time. as every breath that we take is just a matter of seconds or in so many years if we are blessed. in between there are emotions to think about, like hate and love...the image above is my favorite art of JSS, click here for his complete works  these exceptional images were painted more than a century ago. he is gone but his works will remain forever with us to be viewed and admired worldwide. i am thankful to have come across and viewed his beautiful creations. i do not know much about art but i know that his paintings are pretty special...top art is by JSS :)

reflections...

as i see you in the mirror
now you are so old
as i wash my face in the river
the wrinkles come so close

that clock has ruined my days
as i traveled the roads of life
the paper thin skin
is sagging past and fast

when i was younger
the sun is always bright
but the days grew shorter
and the nights had overcome

as dawn is edging closely
i count the fading stars
as the morning took over
another hair is white

when i look back at that mirror
shall i thank God?, yes i will
for He always smiled at me
so generously and so kind :)
