[MC74 and Friends] my third entry for REFLECTIONS -Ma^y lang thang


My dear twin BiTi, fellows PNEH, painters, poets, Mr. Kiu, and Forum friends,
My third contribution to the theme, also for cloud lovers, with the title borrowed from Quang's comment on my first photo for REFLECTIONS:-)

Hinh\ chup ma^y bay tre^n 
Đu*o*ng\ so^' Mo^t., 19 thang' 9 - 2011
Ma^y lang thang
Đe^m ta mo* tha^y' mi\nh la` ma^y trắng

    Mây, sao còn bay mãi không quay về đây
    Sao còn lờ lững che ngang rừng cây
    Sao còn hờ hững với tôi từng giây
    Hay còn mơ nghĩ đến ai nào đây

    Mây, xin dừng chân đến bên tôi một đêm
    Xin đừng bay chốn môi hôn thật êm
    Xin đừng nghe gió dâng lên thật cao
    Xin đừng ân ái với muôn vì sao

    Đời tôi đã xót xa nhiều cũng vì yêu
    Niềm thương nhớ biết đến bao giờ làm mây quên lãng
    Chào mây nhé, mây bay về, về phía trời cao
    Ôi niềm ao ước, mối tình tha thướt như làn mây lướt.

    Mây, mây buồn mây khóc mỗi khi vào mưa
    Hay là mây nhớ mối duyên tình xưa
    Khi tình chưa biết đớn đau là chi
    Khi dòng nước mắt chưa hoen vào mi

  2. Dear Em Ci and TNS,

    Lovely photo and lovely song, I haven't heard it in such a long time. If my memory
    serves me right, wasn't it one of Elvis Phuong's best?

    Em Ci oi, I love that you walk NYC , la tete dans les nuages :-) , to shoot these
    beautiful clouds and their reflections for us. I can't figure out what the little bumps
    are on the skyscraper, but I like to imagine they are morning dew bubbles :-)
    That's such a great angle of a shot too.

    Cheers,
    BT

  3. Hello Mai Chau

    Quite simply, nothing like a delightful poem, a strikingly beautiful picture,
    a perfect pairing of image and verse, to illustrate the very appealing,
    seductive theme, Reflection

    May Lang Thang, a soulful, poetic ode to White Clouds, nature's wonderful element with a life of its own, well personified, whimsical in nature,
    adventurous in mind, flowingly light, airy, breezy, is as dreamy as it gets

    Adding to the playful touch, romantic feel, a subtle philosophical undertone,
    an intriguing zen like approach to life, a personal reflection of the author

    To put all in perspective, a breathtakingly lovely picture, a dreamy vision
    of " Mo^t Goc' Tro*i ", a rhapsody in Blue, providing the ideal, soothing backdrop to the poetry in motion, the wandering, drifting clouds

  5. Thank you TNS for your sweeter than sweet :-) compliments (MC lam\ vai\ ca^u tho* con coc' vo*' va^n? nghich. ngo*m. cho*i, ma\ ddu*o*c.

You made my weekend, and Quang better watch out for his title as top notch art critic :-)

    Thank you my lovely twin BiTi for your kind comments.
    I love it that you like my entry; it made my spending lunch time to wait for the perfect clouds to float by take this photo worthwhile.
    You are such a dreamer, in that you see the little bumps as morning dew bubbles :-).

  6. Hello Quang and Trie^'t,

    your generous compliments are a big encouragement for me. I love to hear them, so please keep them coming! :-)
    I just hope you won't regret it and take them back once I start bombarding the forum with these tho* con coc', (that is if I could come up with more), at the risk of being banned from the Forum by o^ng chu? Forum TNS.

    Have a wonderful Saturday.
