2021:
zbor lin de flutur,
cale batuta-n stele
sa-ti fie Anul!
*****
abundenta de
armonie albastra
in acest nou an!
*****
zbor de fluture
sa-ti fie sezoanele
acestui nou an!

2022:
sa-ti fie Anul
muzica sferelor prin
plutiri gingase…

2020:
explozie de
flori, culoare, sunet, sori –
noapte de An Nou!…

La Multi Ani! pentru un 2021 in flori, culoare, sunet, sori si tot ce ne incanta sufletul si emotiile!

2021:
noapte de An Nou –
cand speranta zambeste
suras de soare…

un an abundand in Bine; poate “binele” suna uneori tern, insa este la fel de dispus sa incorporeze multitudini de sensuri derivate si convergente in acelasi timp – iubire, magie, determinare, recunostinta, minuni, lumina, zambet… La Multi Ani!

2020:
ninsoarea noptii –
stea inflorin pamantul.
ce cer efemer!

2021:
ce cer efemer –
gazduind soare si nori;
suflet inflorind…

acum un an ningea… m-am plimbat prin zapada si am facut pozici. privindu-le, resimt bucuria de atunci si de intotdeauna cand ninge… am decis totusi sa schimb imaginea – stiu ca sentimentele vor ramane, la recitire…

2020:
tine-ti sufletul
impodobit in culori;
poarta-i lumina!…

2021:
poarta-i lumina
emotiei de copil
ce inca rade…

cat inca zambesc la cea mai mica decoratiune de iarna intalnita – pe strada, in poze, in privire, stiu ca mi-e sufletul viu…

2020:
seri de bal-mascat,

ninsoarea se ascunde

prin onsen, drept vis…

2021:

prin onsen, drept vis,
sperante transformate-n
fulgi de petale…
