The 'triumphvirate' :-) of works, at the end of my journey, seeks to encapsulate the essence of human experience, portraying humor as a vital counterbalance to the gravity of love and the finality of death.

.......
It's all about... →
→ Love
There is no word for it to say it
Togetherness comes close -
There are no scales to very weigh it
No paintings fairly to portray it
So great and so grandiose...
There is no phrase for it to trace it
Affinity, it shows -
No life as long as to embrace it
No honoring enough to grace it
How blossoming this rose...
No book might ever comprehend it
As destiny, it flows -
No limitation to transcend it
No space and time to ever end it
As inner light, it glows...
h.a. 2022

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to
die.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
“Most beautiful quatrain ever” ❤
Komm, o Tod! Doch komm so leise, daß es nicht bemerkt die Brust, damit nicht des Sterbens Lust mich zurück ins Leben weise …
Come Death, so subtly veiled that I Thy coming know not, how or when, Lest it should give me life again To find how sweet it is to die.
Viens, Mort, mais si cachée ue je ne te sente pas venir, pour que le plaisir de mourir ne me rende pas à la vie
Morte vieni sì celata Ch'io non senta il tuo venir, Onde il gusto del morir Non mi torni a vita odiata.
*
Ven, muerte, tan escondida que no te sienta venir, porque el placer del morir no me torne a dar la vida.
