Hello, dear readers and followers. I contribute to Coffee House Writers Magazine (USA) every second week, and Iβm delighted to share that my latest poem,Β βThe Tunnel of Light,βΒ appears in the new issue. You can read it by following the link below.
>> The Tunnel of Light – Coffee House Writers



Some mornings begin with an ordinary walk along the causeway β and then, without warning, the world tilts into something quietly mystical. Light flickers in strange patterns, reflections shimmer like fire, and a simple tunnel becomes a threshold into another realm. Todayβs poem grew from one such moment, where reality and imagination briefly overlapped, leaving behind a trail of luminous images that asked to be shaped into words.
And as the birds luminously journey toward the renaissance of the golden sun, Ayreonβs The Tunnel of Light becomes the perfect companion β a musical echo of the same radiant passage from shadow into wonder.

Ah, the image was such a lucky one , I was taking a photos of the birds flying toward the sun; then afterwards in the corner of the photo, under the highway bypass tunnel there was an image of the bird sparking in the dark, and which later became the inspiration behind my intriguing poem my dear friend π₯°π¦ πΆπ€π

Oh, the photos were very fortunate ones, I was taking a photos of the birds flying toward the sun; then afterwards in the corner of the photo, under the highway bypass tunnel there was an image of the bird sparking in the dark, and which later, I enlarged, cropped, and enhanced, and then that became the inspiration behind my intriguing poem, Carolyn π₯°πππ¦ πΆπ€ππ
