Beautiful purple lilacs outside my bedroom window
Lovely to look at and touch
Releasing their exquisite perfume

Beautiful purple lilacs outside my bedroom window
Giving me a fresh bouquet every day

Beautiful purple lilacs outside my bedroom window
Taking me to a different world

Beautiful purple lilacs outside my bedroom window

White lights glitter against the black grill
The terrace is door open
A view of the plants can be seen
which are highlighted by the lowering sun giving them an impressionistic look

A slight breeze moves through the awning gently moving it back and forth

The light plays against the rose colored buildings giving them a special magical hue
It’s almost surreal

Another day is coming to a close as nighttime encroaches
The change from light to darkness is in a holding pattern like an aircraft waiting to land

The shades of pink change as the sun drops

As the sun continues to drop its
time to relax and slowdown
People are gravitating to cafes for their coffee and chat with friends
Evening is on its’ way

The rose colored city all dressed up in pink with a European flair
Exotic colors and looks
Cafes everywhere with people sipping coffee slowly
Tourists walking about exploring

Hypnotic breezes blowing
Palm trees and mountains adorn
Orange trees line the streets
Purple blossoms on jacaranda trees
Scents wafting through the air
Fantasy city, are you real??

The time between darkness and light
When it is neither
The sun is preparing for its entrance
Animals are awakening
Donkeys are braying
Roosters are crowing
Chickens are clucking
All to announce
the start of a new day
Night is beginning to leave once again
With the blackness turning to gray eventually to a bright blue
As a new morning slowly begins to approach the day starts

Half moon hovering in the dark velvet sky
Soft yellow light shining down on me
Lights of the city dimmed by its beauty
Sounds of the city in the background
Turquoise lights shine on a building close by
Creating an artful look to the coming night
Mother Nature at her best
Half moon hovering in the dark velvet sky
Another day passes as a new one begins

Sometimes to help someone else we care about,  we may have to sacrifice something we wanted

Sacrifice

That’s what care is, putting someone above yourself and your needs
Unconditional care

Sacrifice

Lift up and light the world with kindness
You will also be lifted
Higher than you can imagine

Sacrifice

As you leave look back at me so I know I will see you once again

Let me look into your eyes and memorize them

Let me place your face into my heart

Let your smile lift me up

Then return to me
