We will travel through the night this day, through life this day..
So owls are asked to shine their eyes wide, bright
And lead the way, like the stars in the heavens, lead the way
They talk too much
Always giving away our hide out spots
The tide will go down after a while
The adventure, will slow down in it steps
Poppy flowers, will be plucked surrender (ed)
To honour the dead in passing
While sitting on old derelict boats or two
Strolling hand in hand, looking out to sea
And cherishing t' good old days we had together
Ha! Creative use of each prompt, woven together well, and even provides a bit of humor. Given the the gentleman's photo, he could easily mistake the bird in flight for a parrot; and since the guy in the last photo has his back turned to us, there's no reason he cannot be the same man as in the first pic. Way to go, Kodjo!

With the pictures as the warp, and the words as the weft, you have created a perfect 'tapestry'.
