From the song "Colours"
Donovan, 1965

"Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the mornin' when we rise
(...) Blue's the colour of the sky
In the mornin' when we rise
(...) Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the mornin' when we rise
(...) Mellow is the feeling that I get
when I see her, mm hmm
(...) Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Without thinkin', mm hmm,
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved."

Nice work with the colours, Rodolfo. And this is the first time I've read those lyrics - I only knew the first two lines : )
 
"Fall, leaves, fall"

From the poem
Fall, leaves, fall
By Emily Brontë

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

"Correspondences"

Edition with her permission: Over, Distressed FX

Text from the poem Correspondances (1857)
Charles Baudelaire. French poet

Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance
In a deep and tenebrous unity,
Vast as the dark of night and as the light of day,
Perfumes, sounds, and colors correspond.

Comme de longs échos qui de loin se confondent
Dans une ténébreuse et profonde unité,
Vaste comme la nuit et comme la clarté,
Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se répondent.

Tree in Summer

ProCamera, ColorStory (Weekend/Pacific), Over (Vevey), Snapseed (Frame)

From the poem "Trees in Autumn"
by John Jay Chapman, North American Writer (1863-1933)

The poets have made Autumn sorrowful;
I find her joyous, radiant, serene.
Her pomp is hung in a deep azure sky
That turns about the world by day and night,
Nor loses its bright charm.
And when the trees resign their foliage,
Loosing their leaves upon the cradling air
As liberally as if they ne'er had owned them,
They show the richer for the nakedness
That weds them with the clarity of heav'n.

Just beautiful. The image and the words. And I love how you placed the words. And the pink... love the pink.

"... into that world inverted"

ProCamera, Distressed FX (Surreal, Deep Space), Over (Nexa)

From the poem "Insomnia"
from the North American poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979)

"(...) into that world inverted
where the left is always right,
where the shadows are really the body,
where we stay awake all night,
where the heavens are shallow as the sea
is now deep, and you love me."
