♫ Mood ~ Shinedown - Simple Man
See No Evil
by Billy Collins
No one expected all three of them
to sit there on their tree stumps forever,
their senses covered with their sinuous paws
so as to shut out the vile, nefarious world.
As it happened,
it was the one on the left
who was the first to desert his post,
uncupping his ears,
then loping off into the orbit of rumors and lies,
but also into the realm of symphonies,
the sound of water tumbling over rocks
and wind stirring the leafy domes of trees.
Then the monkey on the right lowered his hands
from his wide mouth and slipped away
in search of someone to talk to,
some news he could spread,
maybe something to curse or shout about.
And that left the monkey in the middle
alone with his silent vigil,
shielding his eyes from depravity's spectacle,
blind to the man whipping his horse,
the woman shaking her baby in the air,
but also unable to see
the russet sun on a rough shelf of rock
and apples in the grass at the base of a tree.
Sometimes, he wonders about the other two,
listens for the faint sounds of their breathing
up there on the mantel
alongside the clock and the candlesticks.
And some nights in the quiet house
he wishes he could break the silence with a question,
but he knows the one on his right
would not be able to hear,
and the one to his left,
according to their sacred oath--
the one they all took with one paw raised--
is forbidden forever to speak, even in reply.

Cologne has a great musical history and interesting modern music life. This rainy night view reminded me of something like a symphony. A complicated chaos of lights and shadows that combine into one grand impression.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
The Symphony Towers, 105-meters in height, opened in 2009 and are designed by architect Pi de Bruin. These towers symbolize the financial heart of the Zuidas and of the Netherlands. Amsterdam, 2017.

Driving home along a country lane one sunny evening as the sun was setting last week my wife said 'wow look at the sky'. I stopped and looked in amazement as the clouds formed a bowl shaped swirling vignette and inside that the clouds twisted and swirled in the gorgeous light of the setting sun. The upper central cloud to me looked like a figure with hands conducting ths wonderful symphony of moving elements. Luckily I had my camera!
One more autumn photo from one of the parks in the city of Łódź in Poland. I do miss that kind of Autumn on the west coast of Australia and cannot wait for another opportunity to experience this beautiful season in the northern hemisphere again.
