Views from 2 windows

These 2 pictures were taken one after another at magic hour from my 2 windows. It was a blazing hot morning and then a sudden torrential downpour in the afternoon. When the rain eventually stopped in the evening, these brilliant colours painted the sky. Colours so surreal as if the sky was confused or bruised.

View from the living room's window:

Such enchanting evening light, spread across the sky like butter.
It reaches the window panes, but it did not manage to touch my face.
Should this be the colour of final struggle between day and night?

View from the bedroom's window:

The afternoon rain left its traces in the tinted evening sky.
Only the meek can decipher the sign -
To hold back those water, and to let go.

rainbow outside my room

It appears just before the sky turns dark.
A mere 5 minutes of magical moment.

In times of Loneliness, we are all the same.

回来寻找他自己。 －张爱玲

MOONLY

Someone asked, "Why is it called 'Moonly' ?".
For those who wonder as well, here's why:

a poem by e e cummings -

Love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail

It is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea

Love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive

It is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky


And also, from a painting by Rene Magritte:
