"Yesterday 40 Years Ago"

Yesterday 40 years ago,
I was standing here for sure.
Today 40 years later,
I still know this place.

This place in my memory hasn't changed much -
As if it were blaming me for leaving for so long.
It has shrunk surprising, though -
Just like my parents did as they aged.

What could I have done for it though,
Even if I had stayed here?
What would have awaited me?

I never gave it a thought
Yesterday 40 years ago.
I still have no idea
Today 40 years later.

"Learning to Fly Again" and Chroma Key

These images are titled "Learning to Fly Again."

I often listen to music when I edit photos. These days, I pick an ex Dream Theater keyboardist, Kevin Moore's project, Chroma Key.

For editing the three images above, I used a song named "Strong". I won't say , or I can't say that I was inspired by it because it may be a wrong interpretation of the song and the lyrics. Having said that, however, in the tone of his keyboard playing, I see a sun-setting sky, purple, red, or gold, maybe over New York(I haven't been there though).

"Strong" by Chroma Key

Like You Dream

Like You Dream

Like you dream,

I am there and you are here

You are not there and I am not here
