Palm Springs commercial photography
[a lazy poem, just going with the flow of the moment]


On a pristine stretch of solid sand
its serene surface bathed in lazy
sunshine, I long to hop on a boat,
let my mind stop thinking, let it rest
in contemplation and wonder how
I can ever stop life moving on.

I stare at nothing, not forgetting
still remembering old memories.
Intoxicated and seduced, I
breathe in a clear landscape stirred to life
by a summer wind - such is nature's
orchestrations, scrub the world clean of
chaos, astonishing the senses.

Vacations are like that. You no sooner get off one and you need another to recover from it. Somewhat perpetual as long as your money holds out.

More feelings and fewer words please

Very beautiful, dear Josefina! When everything is bathed in light we manage to be in the flow of harmony.

Love,
Margherita
