At the heart of the Brighton Dome,
You were set, on a beautiful stage,
Where history has been made,
By many great art, with lives touched,
Even the ABBA’s, will forever, know you by name!

This time, your doors opened,
To over 550 software quality enthusiasts,
With thy lights aglow!

Aboard your podium,
Inspiring talks delivered, by many great speakers,
In the presence of a great audience,
And a wonderful community,

A CASE is made:

“To foster your professional excellence, self-awareness is a moral responsibility”

As the whispers of the ocean fall,
By the sea, where Brighton lies

A testament is told,
Of some fate, some story,
Some guy, some time,
Some chance, some work,
Some results, some grace,
Some praise, some gratitude!

… And suddenly,
One day becomes some day!

As the sunsets stains the restless tide,
In Brighton’s heart, a guys dream made true,
A moment of fate, charm and grace you bestowed!

For the joy, and the happiness,
For the fulfillment, and the motivation,
For the experience, and the lessons,
And all else you gave, thank you TestBash!

Thank you Ministry of Testing,
For being the brainchild, and the Orchestrator,
Of the Bash we once wished to Test!

Thank you Brighton, for these memories,
And for the hope, I shall behold,
Until we meet again!

Sincerely,
DaMovementBoss ✊✊✊

What a delight …

To have stood underneath the nose of your spires,
Beneath which, a timeless tale lies!

To have felt your embrace, where whispers dance!

To have walked through your winding lanes, and ancient streets, where the houses dance!

To have wined and dined in your Pivovar’s, where even your beer is cheaper than water!

Little wonder, in those Pivo Dům, the heart of your city beats!

To have experienced the symphony of your sights and sounds, where past and present intertwine!

To have seen your Vltava’s flow, with a silver thread,
A profound feeling that was!

Strolling through your city’s bed,
Bridges echo with footsteps old,
Legends whispered,
With many secrets told & untold!

And, on Charles Bridge,
You have connected souls,
Since time immemorial!

A timeless span,
Where the saints are always with,
Where you got me lost in thoughts of moonlight gleam,
And, I made a wish in the name of Nepomuk!

The aroma of your trdelnik and coffee,
Still fill the air around me,
In the old town,
Your Astronomical Clock presents a marvel,
Marking time with ancient glee,
You captivate the traveler!

Prague,
A traveller’s delight,
A joy in twilight’s shade,
A timeless beauty,
As told, even by the Roman’s!

In every moment,
At your presence, a memory cast,
You are, indeed, a city of dreams,
Where hearts take flight,
In the embrace of your enchanting night!

As your spires light up the world around you,
The sights, and my experience of you,
I shall behold for long,
A page in my dairy of moments it shall be!

… these monumental tales I shall unravel,
And tell to my kindred’s, without a care glim!

Thank you Praha, “the city of a hundred spires”

Sincerely,

When it seems like the light fades all too soon,
When I don’t know the next thing to expect,
When I find myself mesmerizing at your sight,
You will know you’ve got to be my favorite kinda view!

You have no walls, and you seem to have no end.
It’s how you flow, and its how you show up.
It’s how you fall, and it’s how you compliment the sky.
It’s how you remind me,
Of the endless possibilities that lurks beyond.
And that’s the beauty of you!

Perhaps, you see something wrong in thyself?
Yet, I can only see there’s something more to you.
Perhaps, you sometimes wonder what I love you for?
I say cos I have seen the best of me through your eyes!

You’ve shown me a box of stained-glass eyes and colorful tears,
But this can’t be all,
The truth about you?
Sometimes, I wish I could play with you,
An infinite game of peekaboo! But …

Really, it’s how you flow,
It’s how you show up,
And, it’s how you stay!

You stay, to be found by all,
You give me more to seek,
You give me more to find,
You give me more to yarn for,
You give me more to come back to,
Then I think you’ve lost your mind,
But, that’s all on me!

That whom I’m, in front of you,
I would rather not change.
I can’t deny,
The sight of you gives me hope.
Standing in front of you,
I can look far and wide.
Then I reinforce my belief,
In the endless possibilities your sight reminds!

I have been with you on different days,
I have seen you at different locations,
I have experienced you,
On different time zones,
At different times of the day,
And at different times of the year,
Yet, you stay same.
The truth about the ocean!

Truly,
It’s how you flow,
It’s how you show up,
Its how you fall,
It’s how you stay,
The beauty of the ocean!

Thank you for all you are, and all you give.
Thank you Larnaca, City of St. Lazarus, for the gentle reminder.
For, and until we meet again, the thought of you to be held close in my heart.
Cos’ that’s the beauty of you!

Sincerely,

I have heard you are the world’s friendliest city.

Yet, often I thought you were just about those succinct innovations by your Clyde.

But your folks say “people make Glasgow”. To argue that? I no longer can!

You have gifted the world so much that your spirits continue to find itself running in our veins in more ounces than we dare to admit.

Whilst Jonny Walk, your Clyde remains a Bonnie. And until our next rendezvous, I shall remember to hold that sip, underneath my tongue to always remind me of that ecstatic taste of you🤗

Thank you Glasgow, for being so friendly to us🙌

Sincerely,

I used to hear about you from my nearest,
Then, we met. And, our path became tied forever!

It used to be a challenge to get along.
With time passed, our emotions grew.
You became one I almost couldn’t live a day without!

You showed me “lagom” in its real sense.
And our path together began to make sense!

Amidst my flaws, faith you gave.
In the dark days, light you brought.
In the restless nights, calm you brought.
While I learned, patience you had.
While I waned, tall you stood.
While I doubted, believe you held.
Amidst my conflations, reassurance you brought.
To see me shine, no limit to the things you did!

I used to think, it was all about …
The water around you,
The air you emit,
The vibe you exhume,
For each time, I walked around your streets, you elated my spirit!

Over time I found,
There was more to you, than just the nature of your being!

A place to call home, you bestowed.
True love, you showed.
Peace & contentment, you provided.
Direction & prosperity you paved.
Forever connections, you blessed with.
Once upon a time friends, you made family.

Under your cloud I was rediscovered, & shaped.
For thy sake, my days ahead can only be better!

Remember when I got the scare?
Cos it all started to feel like without you I could move no further!

I decided to venture out, to new adventures. Amazingly, you approved without resentment.

That moment I knew, it was probably meant to be.
Yet, it broke my heart, it had to be that way.

I suppose it happened, so this love never dies.
So I could always come back to you.
With a joyful & grateful heart!

On that faithful day, I cried.
But I knew, it was never going to be a goodbye for us. Rather, a “see you later.”

Alas, the pains you must’ve felt about my choices.
Your capacity to love still, humbled me & still does.
I doubt there will ever be another you!

…so, today I come in peace and gratitude.
Hoping for a chance to feel your breath upon me once again!

For all you are & all you gave, a thank you is in order.

May the heavens continue to know you by name, until the end of time!

Sincerely,
DaMovementBoss ✊✊✊

When thy kingdom comes!
I hope the things that hold me down will one day set you free.
And, the things that choke me up will one day let you breath.

When thy bliss comes!
I hope you don’t forget my troubles set you on the path where you got to be.

When thy freedom comes!
I hope you will let all this digging ‘so deep in the dirt’, be worth it.

When it’s all said and done!
And, the day comes when you can’t feel the scars anymore…

I hope you will remember to “be grateful in-spite of your suffering.”

Sincerely,
DaMovementBoss ✊✊✊

Sunny days and blue skies,
We should meet with the sun …
And play Apricity!

But, wait a min,
I heard Covid-19 is out playing too,
Should we get swallowed up,
Who will be to the rescue?
From the belly of the whale!

Like Geppetto we’re better served,
Realizing we could be kicked,
By our own creation!

Spare time and idle time, but to what end?
Coffee? Drinks? Dinner? No!!!
Cos Covid-19 intensifies it’s play!

In da daily fear we play calls & chat,
We joke, we laugh, we scare,
We talk about all, but nothing!

Maybe right there, we found “The Bridge,”
From which the Lost Bonds got found!

Can it hold?
Good bridges they say last years,
Perhaps we could keep these that long,
Cos we are all digital friends & family now 🙂

And in you, I found,
My Favorite Digital Pal!!!!
Peace out …

For that which you have not, you so cry about,
You gaze forward in aspirations, forgetting to take the occasional look back,

For in respect to the past, you ought to ask,
How is it you go to stand on the cliff we call today?

For you have the heavens with, in you is a deity of a kind,

In your fears and scare, believe you ought hold,

Cry not, for the heavens is here with,
If the birds could fly, and the fields survive,
Without a keeper, you too shall,

Until thy time cometh, your fields shall be watered,

For you have come this far,
You are nothing short of a center of the universe.

Cry not, for thy days ahead shall be brighter,
Than those gone,
In love & peace!

Sincerely,
DaMovementBoss ✊✊✊
