In our busy lives in our noisy times
We usually forget those refreshing notes
Those unforgettable lines
Of poetry and bliss, of metre and rhyme
Of unconditional love, of beauty divine.
Oh how i wish to simply go away
Escape society’s unnerving display
Of conventions and empty actions
Of useless words robotic interactions
I like to experience life in an unexpected way
Let the winds blow come what may
Abandon to the forces that created me
Give in to the breath and beat that let me be.
And you my love come and take me away
From all these troubles that hound me day by day
So we could start again at our endless beginnings
The ritual of love so pure so silent pristine feelings.
There are so many things that are here but we don't notice
The silent companionship of friends and family simply passes
The most essential things in life are forgotten til the moment of goodbyes
Only then do we appreciate all the laughs, the joys, the pain, the cries
We chose to live inside our shells
Secure and unmindful til the ringing of the bells
The bells that sound our time is over it foretells
It was just a short summer and then its all over
Man is just a flower in a life so short, so brief
Death just comes in the night like a thief
Don't let life pass you by in these few moments of grace
Because they are all numbered, our nights and our days.
And so love and laugh a lot and live in freedom and grace
Shower kindness to every man regardless of creed, color and race
Live in senseless abandon, give glory, thanks and praise,
til alas it comes the sunset of the beauty of our days
I am just a simple person with simple dreams
A brush on the shoulder, a touch of a feather
I just pass this world and move on hereafter.
I am a shadow no one notices it seems.
Oh how beautiful are the colours and the wonders
The mysterious mountains that hold so much power
I blush at the sea’s charming beauty
I rush with the rivers mighty charge to eternity
In my heart there beats a certain melancholy
A loneliness that feels like a touch of beauty
In this brief moment i am given the chance to see
All the wonders of my borrowed existence in store for me
:wink:
Beauty is like a need satisfied and a desire magnified
Yet beauty is not defined only by its longing.
Beauty is the heart’s thirsting and the mind’s enchanting,
Yet beauty has no end and no beginning.
Beauty is the sight that you see and the song of the sea
Yet it haunts beyond what you are seeing and hearing.
Because beauty is seen with closed eyes and heard in deep silence
Beauty is really beyond our hardest reckoning.
Beauty is the wide orchard outside and the flowers that glide
But beauty is also the garden inside as the butterflies in petals ride
It is that smallest fragment of nature’s love and sweet scent
Where we experience eternity in but a very small moment.
Beauty is present in the day but also mysteriously collected at night
It is that spark of forever that makes the darkest night bright.
It feels like hope that can never grow dim
It is our strength and our vision when everything is unseen.
Everything that happens, happens with a reason
For everything has its own time and season
The wheel of life rolls on and on by the day
Changing life's fortunes and choices along the way.
Although we are just a tiny little speck in the universe
We struggle, we choose, we live, we make our own song and verse
In this limited time only can we cast our lot
And make our mark with our lives on this small plot
Whatever directions our lives will eventually take
With hearts on fire in every choice that we make
We create an impact on the lives for whom we are deeply connected
This is the dance of our life in the music we have created
And in the end when life is through
We look back and think so warm and true
We can smile with delight at this great mystery
Life is so short, it ends, yet its filled with beauty
