Arrival

 

  

arrival
(by nicola gold)
 
the excitement
the curiosity
 the beating heart

 
the joy



with sharpened senses i

bathe in unfamiliar sounds

float in the fragrant ambience


let strangers 
look into the eyes of strangers



i smile



 abandoning myself to the unknown
i throw myself into this strange rhythm 

  

i let myself melt into this place until
everything falls into place and
i become someone new

 happily
i set out to explore her and
embrace her transience

The pictures in this post blend stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia with images of the Biennale, a speedboat or plain blackness.  A big "thank you" goes out to Nicola Gold for her wonderful poetic contribution to this blog post.
